Dental bridges are a popular restorative treatment designed to fill the gaps left by one or more missing teeth. At Sparta Family Dentistry, Dr. Austin Goodyke and his team specialize in providing high-quality dental bridges that not only restore your smile but also improve your oral health. These bridges are custom-made to fit seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a comfortable and durable solution. By anchoring the artificial teeth to adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants, dental bridges help maintain the structure of your mouth, prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, and restore your ability to chew and speak properly.
Dental bridges can last over 10 years with proper care and maintenance.

Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, allowing you to enjoy a varied diet and articulate speech without the worry of gaps in your teeth.
By filling in the spaces left by missing teeth, dental bridges enhance your smile’s appearance, boosting your self-esteem and making you more confident in social situations.
Dental bridges prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth, which helps maintain the alignment and integrity of your dental structure.
During your first visit, Dr. Austin Goodyke will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. This includes taking X-rays and impressions to assess the condition of your teeth and gums. This step is crucial to determine if dental bridges are the right solution for you and to plan the treatment accordingly. You will also discuss your dental history and any specific concerns you may have about the procedure.
Once you decide to proceed, the adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a model for the bridge. A temporary bridge is placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums while your permanent bridge is being made. This temporary solution allows you to maintain normal function and aesthetics during the interim period.
When your custom dental bridge is ready, you will return to Sparta Family Dentistry for fitting. Dr. Goodyke will carefully check the bridge for proper fit and alignment, making any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality. Once satisfied with the fit, the bridge is permanently cemented into place. You will receive instructions on how to care for your new dental bridge, ensuring its longevity and maintaining your oral health.
"We treat each person like they are our own family members and we are very deliberate and thorough in providing the highest quality care that we can achieve."
