Why Missing Teeth Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Dental bridges, provided by experienced Los Gatos dentists, are essential when a tooth is missing, as the surrounding teeth can shift out of position, creating new dental and bite problems. In some cases, dental implants can also be used to support a bridge for added stability. Without proper treatment, you may experience:

  • TMJ issues caused by misaligned bites
  • Increased risk of gum disease and tooth decay
  • Difficulty chewing certain foods or speaking clearly
  • Changes in facial shape, leading to a sunken appearance in your cheeks
  • More frequent accidental biting of your tongue or cheeks
  • Self-consciousness about smiling in photos or in public

A dental bridge—whether supported by natural teeth or dental implants—doesn’t just restore your smile, it helps you maintain your oral health, comfort, and confidence.

Our Advanced Dental Bridge Process

At Top Down Dental, we take pride in offering a comfortable, precise, and efficient experience from start to finish. Every dental bridge is custom-crafted to blend naturally with your smile and deliver lasting results.

  1. Preparation of the Abutment Teeth or Dental Implants: We recontour the supporting teeth—or place dental implants if needed—to anchor your bridge securely.
  2. Digital Impressions: We use advanced imaging technology for a clean, precise mold—no messy traditional impressions. These are sent to our trusted dental lab for fabrication of your custom dental bridge.
  3. Temporary Bridge Placement: You’ll receive a temporary bridge to protect your teeth and gums while your permanent restoration is made.
  4. Final Fitting: Once your dental bridge is ready, we make sure it fits perfectly for comfort, function, and appearance. We may schedule a follow-up visit to fine-tune your bite for optimal results.
