Dental Bridges

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a lifelike prosthetic tooth to the teeth or implants on either side of the space. Your bridge is custom-made to match the shape and color of your smile.

Common bridge types we offer:

• Traditional bridge supported by crowns on neighboring teeth
  
  
• An implant-supported bridge attached to dental implants for maximum stability
  
  
• Cantilever or Maryland bridge for select cases with specific cosmetic needs
  

If you are wondering how a dental bridge is made or how a bridge is done, we start with a complete exam and digital X-rays, then prepare the supporting teeth or implants, take precise impressions, and deliver a bridge that fits and functions like your own teeth.

• Restore chewing and speech so you can enjoy daily life again
  
  
• Prevent shifting of nearby teeth and protect your bite
  
  
• Support facial structure by filling gaps
  
  
• Natural aesthetics with custom shading and contouring
  
  
• Reliable solution for single or multiple missing teeth
  

If your tooth was recently treated with a root canal or you have a heavily damaged tooth, we may pair your bridge with dental crowns for strength and longevity.

Are You a Candidate for a Bridge?

You may be a good candidate if you have:

• One or more missing teeth in a row
  
  
• Healthy gums and bone to support the restoration
  
  
• Anchor teeth that can hold crowns or existing dental implants
  

If you do not have anchor teeth or prefer a non-removable option, we can place implants first, then complete an implant-supported bridge.

How long do dental bridges last?
With routine care and professional cleanings, many bridges last 10 to 15 years or more.

Is the procedure painful?
Treatment is completed with comfortable local anesthesia. For anxious patients, we offer oral sedation and nitrous oxide.

Are bridges a good option if I am missing multiple teeth?
Yes. A bridge can replace two or more adjacent teeth. For larger spans or maximum stability, implant-supported bridges are often recommended.

Can I whiten my bridge later?
Whitening does not change the color of bridge ceramics. If you are considering teeth whitening, we suggest brightening first, then matching your new bridge to your preferred shade.
