What Are Dental Bridges?
Missing one or more teeth is not just a cosmetic issue. It can also lead to misalignment of your remaining teeth, causing bite problems, discomfort while chewing, and even difficulty speaking. At Christopher Nelis, DDS, we offer dental bridges to restore both the function and appearance of your mouth. A dental bridge fills the gaps with an artificial tooth supported by crowns, dental implants, or a combination of both. Dr. Chris Nelis and Dr. Nick Racine create custom bridges using high-quality materials to help you regain your beautiful smile. If you have missing teeth, schedule an appointment at our Holland, MI practice to learn more about your restoration options with a custom dental bridge.
What Should I Expect During the Procedure for Dental Bridges?
After preparing your teeth, our dental team will take digital x-rays and impressions to design your custom bridge. While your bridge is being crafted, a temporary restoration may be placed to maintain function and aesthetics. Once your custom bridge is ready, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area. For patients with dental anxieties or a strong gag reflex, additional sedation options are available for enhanced comfort. Depending on the support method chosen during your consultation, the bridge will be either cemented in place or attached to dental implants. Your practitioner will then make precise adjustments to ensure the bridge fits comfortably and securely.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges offer many benefits for individuals wanting to rebuild missing teeth and renew their appearance and oral health. Dental bridges from Christopher Nelis, DDS in Holland, MI could:
- Hinder surviving teeth from changing position
- Uphold the facial muscles, maintaining a rejuvenated appearance
- Rebuild self-esteem and improve total health
- Enhance the appearance of your smile by closing gaps
- Disperse bite forces uniformly to shield your natural teeth
- Necessitate very little maintenance
- Allow for a durable and long-lasting tooth replacement choice
- Recover improved chewing and speaking abilities
Christopher Nelis, DDS Reviews
Dr. Nelis and his staff are GREAT! Caring, personable and willing to go the extra mile to make sure YOU have a marvelous and healthy smile!
This is the best dental office I’ve ever been to in my whole entire life! Immediately when walking in, there’s sweet people like Stephanie at the check-in. They always greet you kindly and they’re always super fast. I got my teeth done, and I love them so much more than I’ve ever loved my teeth. Rachel and Mr.Neils helped me close a gap that I’ve been trying to close for over six years. They are amazing at what they do. There’s so many kind people that work here and they also really care about their clients. If I have a spot on my tooth that’s becoming close to being a cavity, they will tell me. If you have beginning signs of literally anything they will tell you. It actually feels like they care rather than trying to get the most money out of you like other dental offices. I cannot recommend or thank them enough for the completely amazing changes they have done.
Dr. Nelis is not only a fantastic guy but also an incredibly knowledgeable dentist. His expertise is evident in the way he explains procedures and discusses treatment options thoroughly. What sets him apart is his investment in state-of-the-art technology, which enhances the quality of care he provides. I've been to other dentists who often refer complex cases to specialists, but Dr. Nelis has consistently shown that he can handle advanced dentistry right here in his office. This saves time and ensures continuity of care, which I greatly appreciate. The entire team is friendly and professional, making each visit comfortable and efficient. If you're looking for a dentist who combines skill with a personal touch, I highly recommend Dr. Nelis. You won't be disappointed!
Great, friendly service! Easy, quick check in, appointments kept on time with flexibility to change an appointment when necessary. Clear, patient instructions. Very happy to be a regular here
Office is always clean. The people who work there are always so kind and friendly. They always made sure to greet you and ask how your day is going. Never a dull moment.
