What Are Dental Bridges?
A missing tooth affects more than just your appearance. The gaps left behind by a missing tooth (or teeth) can cause your remaining teeth to shift, leading to uncomfortable pressure when biting, increased pain during chewing, or difficulty speaking clearly. A dental bridge addresses these issues by filling the empty spaces with a custom-made artificial tooth that's securely supported by your natural teeth, dental implants, or a combination of both. Unlike dental implants, which require surgical placement into the jawbone and months of healing, a bridge is nonsurgical and typically completed with minimal discomfort and recovery time. At Suite 905 in New York, NY, our dentists create personalized bridges from high-quality materials, restoring the look, function, and health of our patients' smiles. To explore your options for dental bridges, schedule a consultation with Dr. Svetlana Orit Faradjewa or Dr. Sheila Faradjewa today.
How Do Dental Bridges Work?
Dental bridge treatments at Suite 905 are typically done over two visits. First, we'll perform a comprehensive examination to help us determine the best approach for your smile. There are several types of dental bridges, including traditional (or fixed), cantilever, Maryland, and implant-supported — the type of dental bridge that's suitable for you will depend on your dental health, which we'll discuss during your consultation. After reshaping the surrounding teeth to prepare them for the bridge, we'll use our practice's sophisticated imaging equipment to take digital impressions, which will be sent to a dental lab to create a restoration that fits comfortably and looks natural. A temporary bridge will be placed to protect your exposed teeth in the meantime. When your custom bridge is ready, we'll schedule a second appointment to adjust the fit and cement it into place. With proper care and regular visits to our New York, NY practice, your dental bridge may last 10 – 15 years or longer.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
For patients struggling with one or more missing teeth, dental bridges provide a minimally invasive solution for lasting oral health. A custom dental bridge can dramatically impact your oral health by:
- Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly
- Preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of place
- Maintaining your facial structure and jaw alignment
- Offering a fixed, nonremovable solution for missing teeth
- Providing a natural, blended appearance
Like many major restorative dental treatments, dental bridges are often covered in part by insurance. Our team is happy to help with any questions you have about the cost of your dental bridge procedure or your insurance policy.
Suite 905 Reviews
One of the best dentist experiences I’ve had. She made me feel so informed and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!!
I can’t recommend Dr. Orit Faradjewa enough! She is truly a phenomenal dentist. She is so kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. From the moment you walk into her office, you feel comfortable and well taken care of. I had a very complicated crown procedure, and she handled it with such skill and care. She took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the process, and the results were excellent. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality really set her apart. I only have the best things to say about her and her practice. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough good things!! Wish I could give them ten stars!!
I wish I could give suit 905 more than 5 stars. The care here is unmatched! I felt so comfortable. I don’t even know where to start with the positives! Book an appointment! You won’t regret it!!
The doctor took her time to explain everything to me. I highly recommend this dental office to anybody who is looking for a dentist in midtown Manhattan.
