At Redstone Dental Studio, nestled in the heart of Lyons, CO, dental bridges are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental bridges are designed to "bridge" the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They consist of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth or teeth in between.
These false teeth, known as pontics, can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and are supported by natural teeth or implants. Dr. Derrik Johnson and the team at Redstone Dental Studio are committed to restoring your smile and improving your oral health with precision-crafted dental bridges.

Why Should I Get Dental Bridges?
Considering dental bridges is a wise choice if you're missing one or more teeth and wish to restore your smile's appearance and functionality. Missing teeth can lead to a host of problems, including misalignment of remaining teeth, difficulty chewing, and even changes in facial structure. Dental bridges not only enhance your smile aesthetically but also restore your ability to eat and speak properly. They help maintain the shape of your face and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position. Choosing dental bridges can significantly enhance your quality of life, providing a long-lasting solution that looks and feels natural.

The Dental Bridge Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
The journey to a restored smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at Redstone Dental Studio. Dr. Derrik Johnson will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, including X-rays and impressions of your teeth. This assessment helps determine the best type of bridge for your needs and ensures a precise fit. During this visit, you'll have the opportunity to discuss any concerns and ask questions, ensuring you're comfortable and informed about the process.
Teeth Preparation and Impression
Once a treatment plan is established, the next step involves preparing the abutment teeth. This process includes reshaping these teeth to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place. After preparation, Dr. Johnson will take detailed impressions of your teeth to create a model. This model is crucial for crafting a custom bridge that fits seamlessly into your mouth, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.
Bridge Placement and Adjustments
After your custom bridge is meticulously crafted, it's time for placement. During this appointment, Dr. Johnson will carefully position the bridge, checking for a perfect fit and making any necessary adjustments. Once satisfied with the fit and appearance, the bridge is cemented into place. You'll receive guidance on caring for your new bridge, ensuring its longevity and your continued oral health.
