Dental Bridges to Replace Missing Teeth in Connecticut

Why Bridges?

Why would you get a dental bridge?

Replacing a missing tooth is very important. If the space is left open several issues may transpire, including:

Shifting of teeth around the missing tooth
Bone loss
Reshaping their face
Decay on surrounding teeth

What to Expect

Dental bridges can be installed to help restore your smile and act like your natural, permanent teeth. Bridges for teeth can be completed in three visits: an initial visit, a follow-up fit visit, and an installation visit.

Before Treatment

Before treatment, be sure to use preventative oral hygiene to ensure your teeth are as clean as possible. Be able to identify any problems you are having with your teeth and let your dentist know.

During Treatment

While the teeth are numb, the two anchoring teeth are prepared. A portion of the enamel will be removed to allow a dental crown (interlink dental crown page). Next, a highly accurate impression is made, which will be sent to a dental laboratory so your bridge can be fabricated. A temporary dental bridge will be made, which can be worn for about three weeks until your next appointment.

The bridge foundation will be carefully checked to ensure a proper fit on the second visit. The dentist will select a shade of porcelain that is a good match with your adjacent teeth and cement the bridge back in your mouth.

After Treatment

The permanent bridge is ready to be inserted at the follow-up visit (usually two weeks after initial treatment). Your dentist will have you try it on, adjusting it as needed, polishing, and inserting it with permanent cement. To ensure the longevity of your permanent dental bridge, be sure to brush and floss every day and go for regular, routine dental visits.

Your First Visit

Your first visit will entail a detailed conversation with your dentist to go over the procedure, the creation of a temporary bridge, and the creation of impressions that are sent off to the dental laboratory. Each visit can take up to 90 minutes, possibly less. We want to ensure that you are comfortable with each step of the process, so be sure to ask any questions or voice any concerns during your first visit.

I have had the best Dentist for 21 years, Dennis Flanagan, he is very good, extremely professional and a master with root canal, crown and implants. The stuff that works over there are very friendly and they have a lot of patience. They are the best in Groton.

Great dental office! I’ve been going here basically my entire life (over 30 years) and they have always been amazing! Friendly staff and great service!

Tony S.

Once again Dr Green hit the high marks for her caring gentle dentistry! I’m having my 2 front uppers capped after 70 years of use and she is able to make the process, if not enjoyable, at least as comfortable as possible. I enjoy that she shares the step by step with me and isn’t opposed to adding a little light humor.

Absolutely love my Hygienist , Dentist and the entire staff. Never have a bad experience. Always take time to explain what is going on and willing to work with you on every level.

Robert G.

Dr. Flanagan and Dr. Dougherty are kind and caring. They do not rush you and give you time to state your concerns. You leave with a smile. I would definitely recommend Groton Dental to everyone but especially to those with a dental phobia.

Christine S.

My experience with Tori was the best!!! She was super gentle with my teeth and even offered me some numbing gel when they were sensitive. I have never had someone so concerned with my comfort while cleaning my teeth. She’s the only one I trust with my teeth now!

Brooke F.

I had an appointment last week but was running late. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Lisa was welcoming and helpful by assuring me I’d still get in to keep my appointment. Lisa as always went above and beyond. I’ve been a loyal patient for 5 years and love the staff and doctors.
