Dental bridges are a popular and effective treatment for replacing missing teeth. They involve creating a literal bridge between the gap left by a missing tooth, using a false tooth, known as a pontic, and two crowns placed on the adjacent teeth. This treatment not only restores your smile but also helps maintain the shape of your face and ensures proper bite alignment. Dr. Carlos Benavides at Buena Vida Dental Studio is an experienced professional who provides top-tier dental bridges. He looks forward to helping you regain your confidence and oral health!

Why Should I Get Dental Bridges?
If you're missing a tooth or several teeth, dental bridges can be an excellent solution for you. They not only fill the gap in your smile but also prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems or even bone loss. Dental bridges can restore your ability to chew and speak properly, which can be affected by missing teeth. Plus, they can help boost your self-esteem by improving your appearance.

"If I could give 100 stars, I would! My dad was seen today as a new patient and he was treated as family! Erika greeted us as soon as we walked in and helped him get checked in with no trouble. Brittney, amazing hygienist, was so kind, attentive, answered my dad’s questions, made sure he was comfortable throughout his cleaning and has hands of an angel because my dad did not feel any discomfort. Dr. Benavides, very kind, generous, professional and best bedside manners! If you are looking for a dentist, you have to schedule with Buena Vida Dental Studio! Thank you for taking great care of my dad."

The Benefits Of Dental Bridges
Restores Smile
Dental bridges can significantly improve your smile by filling in the gaps left by missing teeth. The false tooth used in the bridge is designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, making it almost indistinguishable. This can give you back your confidence and help you feel more comfortable in social situations.
Improves Oral Function
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly and may affect your speech. Dental bridges restore the functionality of your teeth, allowing you to eat a wider range of foods and speak more clearly. By restoring your oral function, dental bridges can significantly improve your quality of life.
Prevents Teeth Shifting
When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth can start to shift, leading to bite problems and potentially causing bone loss. Dental bridges fill the gap, keeping your remaining teeth in their correct position and maintaining your oral health.
The Dental Bridges Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
During your initial consultation at Buena Vida Dental Studio, Dr. Benavides will examine your mouth and discuss your treatment options. If you both decide that a dental bridge is the best solution, he will prepare a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Bridge Preparation
The next step involves preparing the teeth that will support the bridge. These teeth are reshaped to accommodate the crowns that will be placed over them. After the teeth are prepared, an impression of your mouth is taken, which is used to create the bridge.
Bridge Placement
Once your custom-made bridge is ready, Dr. Benavides will carefully place it in your mouth, checking that it fits correctly and feels comfortable. The bridge is then cemented into place, providing a stable and long-lasting solution for your missing teeth.
