Restore Your Smile with Our Services
at Divine Dental
Missing teeth can affect your confidence and oral health. At Divine Dental, Dr. Esmael Valdez provides our services to replace missing teeth with natural-looking restorations. Our bridges restore function and aesthetics, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Benefits of
Dental Bridges
Our services offer multiple advantages for patients with missing teeth. These restorations prevent remaining teeth from shifting into empty spaces, which can cause bite problems and jaw pain. Bridges also restore your ability to chew properly and speak clearly. For additional protection against decay, consider our dental sealants to help maintain your overall oral health.
The Dental Bridge
Process
Creating dental bridges typically requires two appointments. During the first visit, Dr. Esmael Valdez prepares the teeth adjacent to the gap by removing a small amount of enamel. We then take impressions to create your custom bridge. A temporary bridge protects your prepared teeth while the permanent restoration is crafted. At the second appointment, we remove the temporary bridge and bond the permanent dental bridge in place, ensuring proper fit and bite alignment. If you have a more complex case, tooth extractions may be necessary before the bridge can be placed. Learn more about our tooth extraction services if needed.
