Dental Bridges
in Lebanon, TN

Missing teeth can be more than just a gap in your smile — they can affect your confidence, speech, and ability to enjoy food. With Dental Bridges in Lebanon, TN, Winwood Dental helps patients restore their smiles comfortably and effectively. Let’s look at how dental bridges work and why they might be the right choice for you.

Our Commitment to Your Comfort

What Exactly Is a Dental Bridge?
  • A dental bridge replaces missing teeth, using artificial teeth that are secured by crowns on adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants.
  • This helps keep your bite aligned and prevents your remaining teeth from shifting.

Why Dental Bridges Make Sense

Choosing a dental bridge can:

  • Improve your appearance and speech.
  • Restore your ability to chew properly.
  • Keep your facial shape intact.
  • Distribute your bite force evenly.
  • Prevent surrounding teeth from drifting.

For many, a bridge is a reliable, long-term solution.

Dental Crowns in Lebanon, TN: The Perfect Match

Crowns are a key part of the bridge. They cap the supporting teeth on either side of the gap, holding the artificial tooth in place.

Well-fitted dental crowns keep the bridge stable and looking natural. Learn more about dental crowns.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

Every smile is unique, so Winwood Dental offers different options:

Traditional Bridges

This is the most common type — perfect if you have natural teeth on both sides of the gap.

Cantilever Bridges

When a gap exists with a single adjacent tooth, a cantilever bridge can be a suitable solution.

Maryland Bonded Bridges

A more conservative style that uses a metal or porcelain framework instead of crowns.

What’s the Process for Getting a Bridge?

Getting a dental bridge usually takes two visits:

1. Consultation and Prep

Your dentist will examine your teeth, discuss options, and prepare the supporting teeth.

2. Impressions and Temporary Bridge

Impressions help create a custom-fit bridge. You’ll leave with a temporary bridge while the permanent one is made.

3. Final Placement

Your new bridge is adjusted for comfort and cemented in place.

Does It Hurt?

Getting a dental bridge should not be painful. Local anesthetic keeps you comfortable, and if you feel anxious, ask about our sedation dentistry.

How Long Will It Last?

With good care, a dental bridge can last 10 to 15 years, sometimes longer. Regular dental cleanings & exams help maintain your oral health.

Caring for Your Bridge

Daily brushing and flossing are musts. Use special floss to clean under the bridge. Routine checkups at Winwood Dental help spot any issues early.

When Bridges Make Sense

Dental bridges are great for those who aren’t candidates for dental implants. They’re also quicker and sometimes more cost-effective.

If you damage or lose your bridge, our emergency dentistry services have you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental bridges covered by insurance?

Most dental insurance plans partially cover bridges. It depends on your plan — our team will help you check your benefits.

Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?

Yes! Once you adjust, you can enjoy most foods again. Just avoid chewing super hard foods directly on the bridge.

Is a dental bridge better than dentures?

Bridges are fixed in place — many patients find them more comfortable than removable dentures. For full-mouth solutions, explore our dentures options too.

Can I get a bridge if I have gum disease?

Healthy gums are essential for a successful bridge. If needed, we’ll treat any issues first. We also offer root canal care if an underlying infection is present.
