Dental Bridge in Waxhaw, NC

If You’re Looking for a dental bridge in Waxhaw, NC, Call Waxhaw Dental Center.
Dental Bridge in Waxhaw, NC

A dental bridge seamlessly replaces a single missing tooth or a series of missing teeth. Missing teeth can negatively affect both the appearance of your smile and the functionality of your bite. At our tooth replacement dentist in Waxhaw NC, dental bridges help restore proper chewing, speaking, and overall oral balance.

Missing teeth can lead to shifting of surrounding teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, speech difficulties, and an increased risk of gum disease and tooth decay. A dental bridge consists of two crowns placed on the anchoring teeth, called abutments, with one or more replacement teeth (pontics) in between. Bridges may be supported by natural teeth or by dental implants in Waxhaw NC, depending on your oral health and treatment goals. Pontics can be crafted from porcelain, alloys, gold, or a combination of materials for strength and aesthetics.

    Dental Bridge FAQ

    How long does a dental bridge last?
    Typically, you expect a fixed bridge to last years differing on the condition and general health of the teeth and rest of your mouth. The quality of your general oral hygiene and long-term habits will play a large factor as well.
    What does a dental bridge look like?
    If you’re getting a dental bridge, they look very natural and function like your natural teeth. The teeth on either side of the missing tooth will be reshaped and fitted with a crown. You’ll also have an artificial tooth made based on impressions of your natural teeth. That way, your replacement tooth looks like your natural teeth as much as possible. When your artificial teeth are ready, then it’s cemented permanently with dental cement to the natural teeth on both sides.
    How do I take care of a dental bridge?
    In general, you should care for your permanent dental bridge the way you care for your other teeth, practicing good daily oral hygiene and having regular dental checkups. Outside of that you should limit eating foods that are hard on teeth, specially chewing on ice. To increase the longevity of your permanent dental bridge, we encourage you to floss daily and use a water pick in addition to routine brushing. Let us show you how to floss around your bridge to keep it healthy.

    "My sister had a filling come out of her tooth and we called Waxsaw Dental and they got her in the next morning. Since the Doctor she had gone to for years had retired, she was scheduled with Dr Marshall Earnest and his assistant Jenna. They were both very kind and professional. They explained all of the options clearly and were able to fix the tooth the same day. Since I wasn't the one being worked on, I was able to watch the procedure. They worked together seamlessly with such skill and calmness. It was very impressive and I would certainly recommend them."

    "Waxhaw Dental Center staff are friendly and kind, and do excellent work. I'm especially pleased with my crowns. We pay out of pocket, so if the prices were a bit more affordable I'd give them 5 stars."

    "The staff was professional and thorough. Nothing unexpected and the team was pleasant as well. A bit frustrated that I couldn’t do the consultation and cleaning at the same visit but I understand if I had a lot of stuff going on they would have had to take care of that first. As it was the staff there was able to schedule me an appointment that worked with my schedule to get my cleaning done very quickly."

    "Waxhaw Dental Center provides excellent dental care! I’ve been going there for 10 years now and have never had a bad experience with any of the dentists, hygienists or staff I’ve seen. I’ve routinely had Candy for my cleanings over the past few years. She is very professional and courteous."

    "I was bumped due to a Hygienist calling in sick. I waited 4 weeks for call back to reschedule.. Never heard back, so I had to call and make my own short notice cleaning appointment. I received new a hygienist and new DDS. The cleaning was a little rough but it was thorough. Customer service for client retention needs work."

    "Dr. Earnest and his assistant Jenna worked seamlessly to complete my dental work in a timely and efficient manner. The hygienist, Nicole, got me checked in and brought back on time so that I was able to get started with my treatment right away and was not late for work. I was comfortable from start to finish and was impressed with the experience as I have not had pleasant dental treatment in the past. I would highly recommend Dr. Earnest for any procedure as he had been reassuring and confident throughout. Thank you to Waxhaw Dental Center providing exceedingly excellent service yet again."
