Bridge the Gap
to a Perfect Smile

/

Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance; they can impact your ability to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth. At Midnight Sun Dental, we specialize in restorative solutions that bring functionality and aesthetics back to your smile. Whether you visit us in Anchorage, Eagle River, or Wasilla, our dental bridges offer a durable, natural-looking solution to fill the gaps and restore your quality of life.

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device that spans the empty space created by one or more missing teeth. By anchoring to neighboring healthy teeth or dental implants, bridges provide a stable and permanent restoration that looks and feels like your natural teeth.

How the Process Works

We've streamlined the dental bridges process to ensure your experience is comfortable, clear, and efficient from start to finish.

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive exam. We will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if a dental bridge is the right option for you. We serve patients seeking teeth replacement in Wasilla, Eagle River, and Anchorage.

Preparation and Impressions

To ensure a perfect fit, we prepare the anchor teeth (abutments) by reshaping them slightly. We then take precise digital impressions of your mouth, which serve as the blueprint for your custom bridge.

Temporary Bridge Placement

While your permanent bridge is being crafted in the lab, we will place a temporary bridge to protect your teeth and gums, ensuring you don't leave our office with a gap in your smile.

Final Placement

Once your custom bridge is ready, you will return for the final fitting. We will check the fit and bite alignment before permanently cementing the bridge in place, leaving you with a fully restored smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental bridges last?

With proper care and oral hygiene, a dental bridge can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, and often even longer. Regular check-ups at Midnight Sun Dental are essential for maintaining the longevity of your restoration.

Is the procedure painful?

We prioritize your comfort. The preparation process is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during the appointment. Some mild sensitivity may occur afterward, but this typically subsides quickly.

How do I care for my bridge?

Caring for a bridge is similar to caring for natural teeth. Distinct brushing and flossing techniques (often using a floss threader) are required to keep the area under the bridge clean and healthy.

Do you offer other options for missing teeth?

Yes! If you are looking for tooth replacement in Eagle River or our other locations, we also offer dental implants and dentures. We will help you compare options to find the best fit for your lifestyle and budget.
