Dental Bridge
Restore Your Smile with a Dental Bridge at Vineyard Valley Dental
Missing teeth can affect far more than your appearance—they can also compromise your ability to eat, speak, and maintain a healthy bite. At Vineyard Valley Dental in Temecula, Dr. Erica Janik and Dr. John Ruzzamenti provide high-quality dental bridges to restore function and help you regain a confident, complete smile.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a restorative solution used to fill the space left by one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of two crowns placed on the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap, with a custom false tooth (pontic) in between. This not only restores your smile aesthetically but also helps maintain proper bite alignment and oral function.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Dental bridge placement typically takes two visits. During the first appointment, Dr. Janik or Dr. Ruzzamenti will prepare the surrounding teeth and take a digital scan to ensure a perfect fit. A temporary bridge will be placed to protect your smile while your permanent bridge is being crafted. At your second visit, we’ll adjust and cement the final bridge to ensure a natural, comfortable result.
