The journey to a perfect smile with dental bridges begins with an initial consultation and examination at Fremont Family Dentistry. During this visit, Dr. Adam Lamprecht will conduct a comprehensive oral examination to assess the condition of your teeth and gums. This step is crucial in determining whether a dental bridge is the most suitable option for you.
Dr. Lamprecht will also take impressions and X-rays of your teeth to create a detailed map of your oral structure. This information is vital for crafting a bridge that fits perfectly and functions optimally. You'll have the opportunity to discuss your expectations and any concerns you might have, ensuring that the treatment plan aligns with your needs.
Once the initial assessment is complete and a dental bridge is deemed appropriate, the next step involves preparing the abutment teeth. This process typically requires reshaping these teeth to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
Dr. Lamprecht will ensure that this procedure is as comfortable as possible, using local anesthesia to numb the area. After the teeth are prepared, precise impressions of your mouth are taken. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where skilled technicians will craft your custom bridge. Meanwhile, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect the prepared teeth and maintain your smile's appearance.
Once your custom dental bridge is ready, you will return to Fremont Family Dentistry for the fitting. Dr. Lamprecht will carefully place the bridge, ensuring it fits perfectly and comfortably in your mouth. This step may involve making minor adjustments to achieve the best possible fit and bite alignment.
Once everything is in place, the bridge is permanently cemented onto the abutment teeth. Dr. Lamprecht will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your new bridge, including tips on maintaining oral hygiene and dietary considerations to ensure the longevity of your dental restoration.
