Dental BridgesIn Redwood City
Dental bridges are a popular restorative treatment designed to replace one or more missing teeth, effectively bridging the gap in your smile. At Sadakian Dental Care, located conveniently near Redwood City, we understand the importance of a complete and functional set of teeth. Dental bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Our team is committed to providing personalized care to ensure that your dental bridge fits seamlessly and comfortably, restoring both beauty and function to your smile.

Why Should I Get Dental Bridges?
Choosing dental bridges offers numerous advantages for your oral health and overall well-being. First and foremost, dental bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting out of place. This helps maintain the natural alignment of your teeth and prevents potential issues with your bite. Additionally, dental bridges can significantly improve your ability to chew and speak clearly, enhancing your quality of life. Beyond functionality, dental bridges also restore the natural appearance of your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem. At Sadakian Dental Care, we tailor each dental bridge to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a harmonious and natural-looking result.

The Benefits Of Dental Bridges
Restored Functionality
Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak effectively, making daily activities more enjoyable and less challenging. With a complete set of teeth, you can savor your favorite foods and communicate with clarity.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
By filling the gaps in your smile, dental bridges enhance your overall appearance. They are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a confident and radiant smile that you'll be proud to show off.
Prevention of Dental Issues
Dental bridges help maintain the natural alignment of your teeth, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting. This reduces the risk of bite problems, gum disease, and other oral health issues that can occur when teeth are missing.
The Dental Bridges Treatment Process
Consultation and Examination
The journey to a complete smile begins with a thorough consultation and examination at Sadakian Dental Care. Dr. Haig Sadakian will assess your oral health and discuss your specific needs and expectations. This step is crucial for determining if dental bridges are the right solution for you. We will take impressions of your teeth and use advanced imaging techniques to plan the precise placement of your dental bridge, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal results.
Preparation and Impression
During the preparation phase, the abutment teeth (the teeth adjacent to the gap) are carefully prepared to receive crowns. This involves reshaping these teeth to allow room for the crowns that will anchor the bridge. Once the preparation is complete, we take detailed impressions of your teeth. These impressions are sent to a dental lab where your custom bridge is crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a harmonious and natural appearance.
Fitting and Placement
Once your custom dental bridge is ready, you will return to our office for the fitting and placement. Dr. Sadakian will ensure that the bridge fits perfectly and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments to achieve an optimal fit. The bridge is then securely cemented into place, restoring your smile's functionality and aesthetics. Our team will provide you with care instructions to maintain your new dental bridge, ensuring its longevity and your continued oral health.
