Dental Bridges

Dental bridges replace missing teeth, restoring your smile’s function and appearance. Secure and natural-looking, they help maintain alignment, improve chewing, and enhance overall oral health.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a restoration that helps to replace one or more missing natural teeth. The bridge attaches permanently to surrounding teeth, so it won't need to be removed and cleaned like a prosthetic appliance. Bridgework is specifically made for each patient, providing a natural and realistic appearance. Most fixed bridges can last for many years before they'll need to be replaced completely.

Why Would a Dental Bridge Be Needed?

The most common reason for needing a bridge is because you're missing a tooth. You might want to avoid having surgery done to place an implant or you're not a good candidate for implant surgery. Bridgework helps to restore the fullness of your smile while improving functionality. Because of your bridge, your surrounding teeth are less likely to become crooked and crowded.

Who Is a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?

During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and bite alignment to determine if a bridge is the best option. In some cases, larger bridges may need additional support, and we may recommend dental implants to provide extra stability and long-term success.

If you're considering a bridge, we’ll work with you to find the best solution for a strong, natural-looking smile. Schedule a consultation today to explore your options!

What Happens During the Dental Bridge Procedure?

The procedure begins with a local anesthetic to numb one area of the mouth. We then shape and file down the surrounding teeth. This will help to make room for the new fixed bridge. Impressions are then taken and will be used to create both a temporary and permanent bridge. You'll go home with the temporary one in place and will need to come back for a second appointment for the permanent one.

The temporary bridge is removed, and the permanent one is placed securely using a dental-grade adhesive. We polish and adjust the new bridge and provide you with instructions on how to brush and floss around it.
