Dental Bridges In Ocoee, FL

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring ceramic teeth to neighboring natural teeth or implants. Bridges help restore proper bite alignment, prevent shifting of surrounding teeth, and maintain facial structure. They are custom-designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth for seamless results.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

• Restored Function - Chew and speak normally without gaps.
• Natural Appearance - Custom-made bridges blend with your surrounding teeth.
• Prevents Tooth Shifting - Maintains alignment and bite stability.

Types of Dental Bridges

• Traditional Bridges - Anchored to natural teeth on either side of the gap.
• Implant-Supported Bridges - Supported by dental implants for extra stability.

Dr. Holz evaluates your oral health and bite to determine the best type of bridge for your needs.

The Dental Bridge Process

• Comprehensive Evaluation - Dr. Holz examines your teeth, bite, and oral health to plan the bridge.
• Preparation of Teeth - Adjacent teeth may be shaped or implants may be placed to support the bridge.
• Impressions & Custom Design - Our in-house dental lab works closely with Dr. Holz to create a bridge that fits perfectly and looks natural.
• Bridge Placement - The final bridge is cemented or secured in place for long-term function and esthetics.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

Maintaining your dental bridge is simple with proper oral hygiene:

• Brush and floss daily, including under the bridge
• Use an interdental brush or Waterpik for hard-to-reach areas
• Attend regular dental checkups

Proper care helps your bridge last many years while preserving surrounding teeth and gum health.
