Now Open — Accepting New Patients!
With good care — daily brushing, flossing under the bridge, and regular cleanings — a dental bridge can last many years. Many factors affect how long it lasts, and we check it at every checkup.
No. We numb the area before preparing the supporting teeth, so you should feel pressure but not pain. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and usually fades quickly.
Both replace missing teeth. A bridge is anchored to the teeth next to the gap, while an implant replaces the tooth root on its own without involving neighboring teeth. Dr. Khanani will look at the health of your surrounding teeth and bone and walk you through which option fits you best.
Brush twice a day and clean under the replacement tooth once a day with a floss threader, super floss, or a water flosser. We'll show you the easiest method at your visit.
Yes. Once your bridge is placed, you can chew and speak comfortably. It's best to avoid chewing ice or very hard foods, which can damage any dental work.
Bridges are often covered at a certain percentage, depending on your plan's coverage. We'll review your benefits with you, and flexible payment plans are available through Cherry financing.
