- Dental Bridges in Leesburg, Virginia
A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dr. Brian Cochran designs and places custom dental bridges at Cochran Family Dental in Leesburg, VA.
A traditional bridge uses dental crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap to hold an artificial tooth (pontic) in place. Implant-supported bridges are also available for patients who prefer not to alter adjacent natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
A dental bridge restores chewing and speaking ability, maintains facial shape by preventing the sunken look from tooth loss, prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of position, distributes bite forces evenly, and provides a fixed, non-removable solution that feels natural.
Caring for Your Bridge
With proper care, a dental bridge can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Brush and floss daily, paying attention to the area around and under the bridge. A floss threader or interdental brush can help. Regular checkups at our office extend the life of your bridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a dental bridge?
A traditional bridge typically requires two visits over two to three weeks. During the first visit, Dr. Cochran prepares the supporting teeth and takes impressions. At the second visit, the permanent bridge is fitted and cemented.
Should I get a bridge or a dental implant?
Both are excellent options. A bridge is typically faster and less invasive, while an implant preserves bone and does not require altering adjacent teeth. Dr. Cochran will help you choose the best option for your situation. Dental Implants
