Reclaim Your Smile with Dental Bridges in Worthington, OH
What Are
Dental Bridges?
At Anthony Lordo, DDS, we understand how missing teeth can affect your confidence and oral health, which is why we are proud to offer dental bridges. Dental bridges are fixed dental prosthetics used to replace one or more missing teeth by literally bridging the gap between your existing teeth. A typical bridge consists of two or more crowns (called abutments) that are placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap, with a false tooth (pontic) in between. The pontic is custom-made to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, promising a cohesive and natural appearance. Bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination of these.

When it comes to dental restorations, choosing the right type of crown is essential for both function and aesthetics. We offer a variety of crowns to meet your specific needs. Here are some options available:
The Dental Bridge Procedure
Getting a dental bridge at Anthony Lordo, DDS, involves a few key steps for a perfect fit and optimal function. Here’s what you can expect:
1
Initial Consultation
Dr. Lordo will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, including digital x-rays and possibly impressions, to determine the best type of bridge for your needs.
2
Tooth Preparation
We prepare your teeth by removing a portion of enamel to make room for the crowns. This step guarantees that the bridge fits properly and aligns well with your bite.
3
Digital Scans
An digital scan of your teeth is taken. This digital scan is used to fabricate your custom bridge in our dental laboratory for a perfect fit and natural appearance.
4
Temporary Bridge
While your permanent bridge is being made, a temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth and gums. This allows you to function normally until your permanent bridge is ready.
5
Fitting the Bridge
Once your custom bridge is ready, Dr. Lordo will carefully fit and adjust it to promote comfort and proper alignment. The bridge is then cemented into place, restoring your smile and function.
