Dental Bridges in Lynchburg, VA
Missing one or more teeth can affect everything from how you speak to how confidently you smile. At O’Donnell Dentistry in Lynchburg, VA, we offer custom dental bridges to fill gaps, restore your bite, and bring balance back to your smile. Our bridges are carefully designed to match the look and feel of your natural teeth, providing a long-term solution for both function and aesthetics.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) between two natural teeth or dental implants. The result is a seamless restoration that helps restore chewing ability and facial structure, while preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
At O’Donnell Dentistry, we offer several types of bridges based on your needs:
-
Traditional Bridges: Supported by crowns placed on adjacent natural teeth.
-
Implant-Supported Bridges: Anchored to dental implants for greater stability and bone support.
When Is a Dental Bridge Recommended?
You may benefit from a dental bridge if you:
-
Are missing one or more consecutive teeth
-
Want a fixed alternative to removable partial dentures
-
Have difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
-
Are seeking to improve your facial symmetry and smile
-
Want to prevent shifting of surrounding teeth
What to Expect
Dr. O’Donnell takes a personalized approach, using digital scans and advanced materials to ensure your bridge fits comfortably and looks completely natural. Here’s what the process typically involves:
