Dental bridges are a reliable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, and they are available right here in Cary at Myers + Co. Family Dentistry. A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants. This restorative dental treatment not only fills the gaps left by missing teeth but also helps restore your smile, improve your bite, and maintain the shape of your face. At Myers + Co. Family Dentistry, Dr. Sarah Myers and her team are dedicated to providing personalized care, ensuring that each dental bridge fits comfortably and looks natural.
Dental bridges can last over 10 years with proper care and maintenance.

Dental bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly, making everyday activities more comfortable and enjoyable. By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, they ensure that your bite functions as it should.
Bridges improve the appearance of your smile by seamlessly blending with your natural teeth. This not only enhances your smile but also boosts your self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings.
By filling the gaps, dental bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position. This helps maintain proper alignment and prevents further dental complications down the line.
During your first visit to Myers + Co. Family Dentistry, Dr. Sarah Myers will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health. This includes taking X-rays and impressions of your teeth to determine the best treatment plan for you. She will discuss your options and help you decide if a dental bridge is the right choice for your needs.
Once a dental bridge is deemed suitable, the adjacent teeth are prepared by removing a small portion of enamel to accommodate the crowns. Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly. Temporary crowns are placed to protect the prepared teeth while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
When your custom dental bridge is ready, Dr. Myers will remove the temporary crowns and fit the permanent bridge. She will ensure that it fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments. Once you and Dr. Myers are satisfied with the fit and appearance, the bridge will be permanently cemented into place, restoring your beautiful smile.
