Don't Let Missing Teeth Cause More Problems
Call for a Consultation
Missing teeth are a hassle when eating, and they can make it uncomfortable to smile. There are also other problems you may not notice at first. Gaps allow nearby teeth to slowly shift out of place. When that happens, your teeth no longer meet properly and can cause wear in unexpected places. Missing teeth also causes the bone in your jaw to deteriorate, which can lead to more tooth loss.
Dr. Sielicki can restore your smile and bite, and also help prevent future tooth loss with a dental bridge. She has been providing Scottsdale with exceptional care since 1999 and has patient comfort down to a science. To find care for your dental needs, contact us or call:

Dr. Sielicki Discusses Dental Bridges
At Sonoran Dental Design in Scottsdale, AZ, we can help patients with missing teeth restore their smiles with dental bridges. Bridges use pontics, or natural-looking false teeth, to fill smile gaps. They can be supported by neighboring natural teeth (abutment teeth) or by dental implants. As a fixed alternative to partial dentures, they allow our patients more freedom and peace of mind.

We Offer Two Types Of Dental Bridges
A dental bridge replaces one to four consecutive teeth. It typically consists of a false tooth or teeth (called pontics) anchored by dental crowns on either side of the pontic for support. We provide patients with two options for securing a bridge:
Traditional Bridge
A traditional bridge is held in place by nearby teeth on either side of the gap, which are reshaped to support the dental crowns. This method has been used to replace missing teeth for decades. However, due to the strain on the natural teeth, only so many teeth can be replaced with the bridge and pontics. Generally, the maximum number of teeth that can be replaced is four.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Implant-supported bridges are held in place by dental implants, small posts that act like tooth roots and are surgically inserted into the jaw. Since the implants need time to fuse with the jawbone, this method takes longer, but implants can last decades or even a lifetime. Only the bridge itself will need to periodically be replaced. Similar to a traditional bridge, implants can support one tooth or several teeth.
The Traditional
Dental Bridge Timeline
Traditional porcelain dental bridges can restore your smile quickly. Dr. Sielicki can typically prepare your teeth and place the dental bridge in just two office visits. The procedure generally follows along these lines:
We offer sedation so you can get the dental care you need comfortably and efficiently.
Have Questions?
Interested in an
Implant-Supported Bridge?
The timeline for an implant-supported bridge is longer than that of a traditional bridge, but many patients find that it's worth the wait to experience the bone-regenerating health benefits that only implant-supported options can offer.
Implants are also versatile when it comes to replacing missing teeth. For patients missing only one tooth, they likely won't need a bridge at all since a dental implant can be topped by a single dental crown. During your visit to our office, our dentists will explain your options and help you make the best choice for your needs.
