Dental bridges are another effective tool that Dr. Adams can use to improve both the appearance and functionality of a patient's teeth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth and, once bonded in place, provides the strength needed to endure everyday use. At your appointment to Diamond Bar Surgery Center the dentist will first take precise measurements of the gap, so the tooth will fit perfectly. Then an exact replica of your natural tooth is carved from a block of porcelain and colored to be indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth. The next step taken is to bond the replacement between two porcelain dental crowns, and the entire restoration is placed so that the crowns cover the neighboring teeth and tightly hold the replacement tooth in the gap. This provides an alternative to dental implants and requires a much shorter healing time.
