How to care for new bridge?

To ensure your bridge lasts as long as possible, it’s important to: Brush around your bridge twice a day Floss around and under your bridge daily (or use a water flosser) Plan routine dental visits every six months Avoid biting on hard or extremely sticky foods

Dental Bridges Explained

A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that literally “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. By anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, bridges provide a permanent solution that looks and functions like your natural teeth.

At San Diego Downtown Dental Implant, we provide dental bridges in San Diego using advanced materials and techniques to ensure optimal fit, function, and aesthetics. Each bridge is carefully crafted to match your natural tooth color and bite pattern, creating a seamless addition to your smile.

The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge

When you visit our San Diego dentist for a bridge consultation, we begin with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, including digital imaging, to ensure your surrounding teeth are strong enough to support a bridge. We discuss your options and help you choose the best type of bridge for your specific situation.

The bridge process typically requires two to three visits. During the first visit, we prepare the supporting teeth and take precise digital impressions. We place a temporary bridge while your custom restoration is being crafted. Once your permanent bridge is ready, we ensure a perfect fit and make any necessary adjustments for your comfort.

Types of Dental Bridges in San Diego

Traditional Bridges

These fixed restorations are the most common type of bridge design that we offer. Either side is attached to a stable, healthy tooth, suspending one or two pontic teeth between them.

Cantilever Bridges

When there is not a healthy tooth on both sides of the missing tooth, a cantilever bridge offers a single tooth-supported alternative. These artificial teeth are attached to the side of a functional dental crown, which is then set on top of the surviving adjacent tooth.

Maryland Bridges

A Maryland bridge is a replacement crown with small extensions that span out on either side of it. These “wings” are bonded behind the neighboring teeth, rather than reducing the shape of those teeth to cover them with a crown. Maryland bridges work well for front missing teeth, children, or temporary purposes before dental implant treatment.

Implant Bridges

An implant-supported dental bridge can replace multiple teeth at one time, as either end of the bridge is set on top of a dental implant. Up to four teeth in a row can be restored using only two dental implants.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a first time patient, excellent experience throughout. Dr. Raymond and staff did a complete assessment with a full head scan. He was able to identify an additional problem with a crown from a previous dentist. I felt I received great quality of care and support as I get nervous at the dentist.
Dr. Raymond and his staff made me feel safe and comfortable. I also like the downtown location as it's easy to find. Will be back for future visits!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Raymond is the best! I had an implant that was done at another office that had to be removed.  I went to Dr. Raymond for a second opinion and we decided that it was best to remove the previous implant in order to avoid infection (which was inevitable) and complete failure of the previously placed implant.  He explained everything in detail and was very knowledgeable. The plan going forward is to let the previous site heal and revisit placing a new implant in a few months.  I was happy that I was able to get this issue resolved so quickly and right before the holidays or before major infection set in.  Dr. Raymond Ngo and Jay (his assistant) were excellent. Hailey (front desk) was also great, she got me in knowing that my case was an emergency and ran my insurance previous to my visit to make sure I had coverage.  10/10 recommend.  They have offices in Downtown SD and North County.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Raymond and his staff at J Street Dental, San Diego!  I recently had implants done, and from start to finish the entire process was stress free.

The staff there is on another level - friendly, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to making every visit comfortable and fun. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt like I was in the best hands possible. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was completely at ease before, during and after my procedure.

For someone who used to dread going to the dentist, I can honestly say that fear is gone thanks to Dr. Raymond and his staff.  They’ve completely transformed how I feel about dental visits. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for the ABSOLUTE BEST dental care and a welcoming environment.  I love that they are downtown -  right next to Petco Park.

Thank you, Dr. Raymond, and your incredible staff - you’ve made such a positive difference in my life!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience at J St. dental!  The dental assistant Haile was wonderful and described everything that was going to be done in detail.  The front office was very helpful and friendly.  I explained I’m very hard to get numb for dental work, when I was a kid my dentist pulled teeth with with out having me completely numb.  The Dr. Explained I could have sedation and he would make sure I was numb.  I feel very comfortable  going back to get my crowns made and a tooth pulled.  Thank you, your a great team.
