    Understanding Implant Bridges

    Dental Bridge - Precision Dentistry of Howard
    implant and cosmetic dentistry
    Implant bridges replace missing teeth by connecting artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants (abutments). Two main types are traditional (secured by crowns on natural teeth) and implant-supported (using dental implants as anchors). The choice depends on oral health, missing teeth location, and cost.

    Enhancing Wellness Through Dental Bridges

    Dental Bridge - Precision Dentistry of Howard
    Dental bridges play a crucial role in enhancing overall wellness by addressing the physical, functional, and psychological aspects of tooth loss. Beyond the obvious aesthetic improvement, bridges contribute to better oral health by preventing the shifting of adjacent teeth, maintaining proper bite alignment, and reducing the risk of gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. This restoration of dental harmony goes beyond the mouth, positively impacting systemic health.

    Common Types of Dental Bridges

    Dental Bridge - Precision Dentistry of Howard
    There are several types of dental bridges designed to address different needs and situations:

    Traditional Bridges

    This is the most prevalent type, consisting of one or more pontics (artificial teeth) held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth. The crowns are placed over the abutment teeth, which act as supports for the bridge.

    Implant-Supported Bridges

    Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, implant-supported bridges use dental implants as anchors. Implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the bridge. This type of bridge is known for its durability and stability.

    Cantilever Bridges

    In situations where there is only one adjacent tooth to support a bridge, a cantilever bridge may be used. It is similar to a traditional bridge but has a single dental crown on one side instead of two.

    Resin-Bonded Bridges

    These bridges use a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth with a resin cement. Maryland bridges are a more conservative option as they require minimal alteration of the adjacent teeth.

    What is a dental bridge, and how does it work?
    A dental bridge is a prosthetic device designed to replace missing teeth. At Precision Dentistry of Howard, we customize bridges to match your natural teeth, restoring your smile’s aesthetics and function. By anchoring the bridge to adjacent teeth or implants, we create a seamless solution, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting and maintaining oral health.
    The dental bridge procedure typically requires two appointments. During the initial visit, we prepare the anchor teeth or implants and take impressions. Our skilled team at Precision Dentistry of Howard ensures a precise fit. In the second appointment, we bond the custom bridge in place. This efficient process minimizes downtime, allowing you to enjoy a complete and confident smile promptly.

    So there I was on Black Friday with the most horrendous tooth pain I have ever experienced in my entire life. I was in between dentists due to an insurance change. Neither my old or new dentist were open. I called multiple emergency dental places in the entire city and had absolutely no luck until I got in contact with Precision. They got me in immediately, diagnose the problem, and had me scheduled for a quick oral surgery within days. They truly were the nicest people and very helpful when I needed them. Thank you to all the staff who took such good care of me! I now have a new Dentist!

    I’ve been going to Precision Dentistry for about a year now, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I really appreciate that this is not a Corp. run dentist, so they are honest and don’t try to push unwanted or unneeded procedures on you. I had a cracked front tooth which Dr. O was able to fill, I’m 100% sure my previous dentist would have done an expensive crown.

    AWESOME!! Dr. Craig O’Donoghue solved an issue I had struggled with for over two years! His friendly and efficient office staff got me in within hours of my call to them and on the same day! For over two years I had searched for a solution for my Maryland Bridge (also known as Resin-bonded bridge), which after over two decades, finally popped out. My former dentist said they don't do a Maryland Bridge anymore and steered me toward an implant. I used Fixodent for two years, trying to decide if I wanted to invest in over $5,000 for their estimate for one tooth. Finally, my tooth was consistently falling out, even with Fixodent, so I knew I needed a solution, fast. Exasperated, I finally googled "Is there a dentist in Green Bay who still does a Maryland Bridge?" Precision Dentistry of Howard came up, and already has multiple five-star reviews. I called this morning, and I was offered an appointment today! But BEST OF ALL, Dr. O'Donoghue said, "So, do you want it re-bonded?" What?? You can do that? Why wasn't I offered that two years ago, rather than steered toward a really expensive implant? Of course, I said "Yes". So, less than an hour later, and for only $350, my tooth is re-bonded, and I feel great! I can't wait to eat some corn-on-the cob again! Dr. O'Donoghue could have steered me toward an implant, which would net him much more profit, but he gave me exactly what was best for me, with the quickest and simplest solution. Although I really like my former dentist, it is a no-brainer that I switch to Dr. O'Donoghue. Plus, he is as friendly as he is efficient! Thank you!

His staff is top notch…a special shoutout for Katerina! I’m looking forward to a new smile and the ability to eat a normal menu again. I highly recommend Precision Dentistry in Howard!

    Chipped my tooth and called over a dozen other dentist who denied seeing me for being new patient or were booked for months. Precision got me in the same day, cleaned my teeth and two days later i was able to receive tooth bonding. They provided excellent customer service and quality of work! I am beyond satisfied with my results and didn’t hesitate to be scheduled for my regular cleanings. Would highly recommend to those in search of professionalism! Thank you Dr. O’Donoghue, Katerina, and Brianna I am very happy with the results from start to finish!
