Dental Bridges in McKinney, TX
What Are Dental Bridges?
When one or more of your teeth have fallen out, it's not just a cosmetic problem — missing teeth may cause your remaining teeth to shift. This can lead to extra tension in your bite, increased pain when you chew, or even difficulty speaking. A dental bridge improves the health and appearance of your smile by filling spaces using a false tooth supported by either your natural teeth, dental implants, or both. At Tracey Dental in McKinney, TX, Dr. Dorian Long offers dental bridges with top-quality materials that will help restore your beautiful smile. If you have gaps in your smile, schedule an appointment with Dr. Long to learn more about your restoration options with a custom bridge.
What Can I Expect from Dental Bridges?
After your supporting teeth are prepped and filed down, Dr. Long will take digital images and impressions of your teeth so your bridge can be created. If needed, a temporary bridge can be used while your custom one is crafted. Once your bridge is ready, your mouth may be numbed with local anesthesia. Stronger anesthesia or sedation methods may be used if you have anxiety or trouble with a gag reflex to help keep you comfortable during the placement. Your bridge can be cemented into place or attached to dental implants based on the method you and Dr. Long chose at your consultation. Dr. Long will carefully adjust the position of the bridge so it feels right and remains in place.

Tracey Dental Reviews
I have been going to Tracey dental for 3 years and have always had a great experience. Dr. Long is very thorough and takes time to make sure all my dental concerns are addressed. I never feel like he is pushing treatment plans or products that are unnecessary or premature. I have had a root canal, crowns, fillings and cleanings done under his care and I am very pleased with the procedures and outcome of all the work I have completed with him.
Great service experience by my family. Surprised that dentistry is without pain after neglecting dental care. Great physician to get everyone back on a healthy path 👏🏽
Awesome service all around
I highly recommend Tracey Dental. Dr. Long and his staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. In addition to routine care I had the Invsalign teeth straightening done and couldn't be happier with the results.
