Restore Your Smile with Confidence at Sweet Water Dentistry
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can also impact your ability to chew, speak clearly, and maintain proper alignment of your remaining teeth. At Sweet Water Dentistry in Fairhope, AL, Dr. Phillip Greer offers expert dental bridge solutions designed to restore both the function and beauty of your smile.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made restorative device that literally “bridges the gap” created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (known as pontics) that are anchored in place by natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. These supporting teeth are called abutments.
Bridges not only improve the appearance of your smile—they help to preserve your facial structure, maintain bite alignment, and prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place.
Why Choose a Dental Bridge?
Getting a dental bridge offers several long-term benefits:
Restores your ability to chew and speak properly
Prevents surrounding teeth from shifting
Maintains the shape of your face and jawline
Distributes the forces in your bite evenly
Improves the appearance of your smile
At Sweet Water Dentistry, we offer fixed dental bridges that are cemented permanently into place—unlike removable partial dentures that can shift or come loose.
Your Dental Bridge Experience at Sweet Water Dentistry
Dr. Phillip Greer takes pride in making the dental bridge process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation & Evaluation
We start by evaluating the health of your gums and surrounding teeth to ensure you’re a good candidate for a bridge.Tooth Preparation
The abutment teeth are carefully reshaped to support the bridge. This ensures a secure and natural fit.Digital Scanning – No Messy Impressions
Instead of traditional, gooey impressions, we use a high-tech ceramic scanner to take precise digital images of your teeth.Custom Bridge Creation
Your bridge is crafted in-house using top-quality materials, designed to match the color, shape, and function of your natural teeth.Final Placement
Once your bridge is ready, it is carefully fitted and permanently cemented. Dr. Greer will check for comfort, bite alignment, and overall aesthetics before finalizing the procedure.
Different Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Greer may recommend one of the following types of bridges:
Traditional Bridges – secured by crowns on the abutment teeth
Implant-Supported Bridges – anchored using dental implants for extra durability
Cantilever Bridges – used when there is only one supporting tooth
Maryland Bridges – bonded to the back of adjacent teeth using metal or porcelain wings
Is a Dental Bridge Right for You?
If you have one or more missing teeth and are looking for a secure, non-removable replacement solution, a dental bridge may be ideal for you. During your consultation, we will help you explore all your options, including bridges, implants, or dentures, and customize a treatment plan tailored just for you.
