Common Questions About Dental Bridges
Considering a dental bridge to replace missing teeth? Our Inman and Spartanburg patients frequently ask these questions about this proven restorative solution.
-
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that literally bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (called pontics) that are anchored to your natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. At Lake Bowen Dental Studio, we use digital technology to create bridges that fit perfectly and look completely natural.

Yes. Most patients adjust to their dental bridge within a few days and report that it feels just like their natural teeth. Because we custom-design each bridge using precise digital measurements, it fits comfortably and functions seamlessly when you eat, speak, and smile. Any initial sensitivity usually disappears quickly as you get used to your new restoration.

A traditional bridge uses your existing teeth for support, while a dental implant replaces the tooth root with a titanium post surgically placed in your jawbone. Bridges are typically faster and less invasive, while implants preserve jawbone health and don't require altering adjacent teeth. During your consultation, we'll help you determine which option is best for your specific situation.

Caring for your bridge is simple. Brush twice daily and floss carefully around the bridge using a floss threader or special bridge floss. Visit Lake Bowen Dental Studio regularly for professional cleanings and checkups so we can ensure your bridge and supporting teeth stay healthy. With consistent care, your bridge will serve you well for many years.
