A dental bridge may help you chew your food easily and speak more clearly. From a cosmetic point of view, your smile may look healthier and more attractive with a bridge in place than with gaps in your teeth. A dental bridge can also help to maintain the natural shape of your face. Without a bridge, your other teeth can slowly shift out of their natural position, leading to potential future problems with your bite. Also, a dental bridge can make your bite more equal across all your teeth, helping you to distribute the force of your bite more equally when you eat.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is the procedure to get a dental bridge?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Two appointments will be needed for your bridge.&nbsp; At your first appointment we will take impressions and prepare teeth for the bridge by removing tooth decay and shaping the tooth.<\/p>\n<p>Dental bridges can last from 8 to 15 years and can last even longer if you maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.<\/p>\n<p>To find out&nbsp; more about our approach to dental care, contact us to schedule an appointment!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Temporary Bridge Post-Op Instructions\" href=\"http:\/\/Centralparkdentistry.com\/site\/dental-bridges\/temporary-bridge-post-op-instructions\/\">Post Op Instructions After the Procedure<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243;
