There are several types of bridges.  You and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular case.  The “traditional bridge” is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal.  This type of bridge consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.  Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years; however, they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear. Reasons for a fixed bridge: Fill space of missing teeth. Maintain facial shape. Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position. Restore chewing and speaking ability. Restore your smile. Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance. What does getting a fixed bridge involve? Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits.  While the teeth are numb, the two anchoring teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown.  Next, a highly accurate impression (mold) is made which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated.  In addition, a temporary bridge will be made and worn for several weeks until your next appointment. At the second visit, your permanent bridge will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented to achieve a proper fit.  Occasionally your dentist may only temporarily cement the bridge, allowing your teeth and tissue time to get used to the new bridge.  The new bridge will be permanently cemented at a later time. You will receive care instructions at the conclusion of the procedure.  Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new, permanent bridge. Back Dr. Li and his staff are wonderful. Even when I moved to Chicago for 3 years, my husband and I kept Dr. Li as our dentist and would see him whenever we were back in town. Dr. Li is very gentle and patient, which is important to me after a very painful experience with another dentist. N Nikita S., Santa Clara, CA I am so happy I was referred to Dr. Li by a coworker. I went to him in extreme pain after student dentists botched a root canal, and he restored my mouth to health and eased my pain in just one visit. Dr. Li takes the time to explain procedures to me before he begins working. And as he works, he gives me updates on his progress and the time left until we're finished. He is always checking in with me to make sure I'm feeling alright, and that I am comfortable. Not only am I pain-free when I am visiting his dental office, but I am in and out of the office quickly. He works fast! His rates are great, and his support staff is friendly and helpful. I travel all the way from San Francisco to get dental care at his offices, and it is worth the journey! K Kristen B., San Francisco, CA I work in a dental field so I know hundreds of dentists but I keep going to the same dentist, Dr. Li! I'm always nervous of getting shot but Dr. Li does it with minimal pain (I won't lie...it still hurts to me as my pain tolerance level is extremely low) but very gentle! and he explains everything before hand so I know what I'm getting....He won't do any unnecessary treatment like how other dentist will try to maximize their profit by recommending thousands of different treatments. And of course, staffs are super nice ;) M Monica C., San Jose, CA I have been to several dentists and by far my visit to Dr. Li's office is the best experience. I had all of my wisdom teeth (all 4) pulled out in one day. Dr Li did it in less than 1 hour and there was no swelling afterwards and I was able to munch on food at dinner time. I was fully recovered in less than 2 days. Dr. Li also did a filling for me and I had no problem with it since the cavaity filling (it has been about 1 year). Unlike my previous filling which had fallen out after 6 months. Dr. Li is gentle, caring and extremely thoughtful: his dental office has a LCD screen TV and even a mini frigerator that offers free drinks and bottled water. I definitely highly recommend Dr. Li to anyone looking for dental treatment and braces services. L Lynn F., San Francisco, CA I have been there for 3 years. Dr. Li is very freindly to the patients and besides he is professional so I can trust him very much. He is especially good at implant and crown,,,I think..A few months ago he did implant surgery to my mom and dad. They are satisfied with his treatment and care until now. As you know there are many dentists around this area but I highly recommend Dr. Li. I bet there is no regret to go to this dental office!! I like him and his staff a lot!! They are treating patients as a family....Whenever I go there I feel comfortable and peaceful..Can you imagine that you can feel peaceful when you go to see a dentist?? hehehe but it's true, Trust me!!
