The Dental Bridge Process
In this video, Dr. Vahid Bashi describes the dental bridge process, from free consultation all the way to custom restoration.
The process of getting a dental bridge typically follows these steps:
1. Free Consultation and Examination: It begins with a complimentary consultation and a thorough examination of your oral health. During this consultation, a scan of your mouth may be taken to assess your suitability for the procedure.
2. Treatment Plan: Following the consultation, a treatment plan is developed. This plan outlines the specific details of the bridge placement, including the number and location of implants required.
3. Implant Placement: The next step involves placing the necessary dental implants in your jawbone. These implants serve as stable anchors for the bridge. After the implant placement, a healing period is needed to allow the implants to integrate with the surrounding bone.
4. Final Bridge: Once the implants have fully healed and integrated, the final bridge is created and customized to fit your mouth. This bridge is then securely cemented to the existing implants. Unlike removable options, a dental bridge is permanent and does not come out or become loose.
5. Natural Functionality: Once the bridge is in place, it functions much like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
This process ensures the successful placement of a dental bridge, restoring your dental function and enhancing your overall oral health. If you are considering a dental bridge, scheduling a consultation with a dental professional is the first step in determining your eligibility and creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
