Dental Bridges
Bridging The Gap Of Missing Teeth
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth on either side of the gap.
Since it stays in place, you don’t have to remove it like a removable appliance. Each bridge is custom-made to match your smile, so it looks natural and helps you chew and speak more comfortably.
With proper care, a fixed bridge can last for many years before it needs to be replaced.

Why Closing The Gap Matters
A dental bridge is most often recommended when you’re missing a tooth and want a fixed replacement. Some patients prefer not to have implant surgery, and others aren’t the right candidates for it.
A bridge fills the gap so your smile looks complete again and daily things like chewing and speaking feel easier.
It also helps keep nearby teeth from shifting, which can lead to crowding and bite problems over time.
Is A Dental Bridge Right For You?
We’ll examine your teeth and talk through your goals to see if a fixed bridge makes sense for you.
For a bridge to fit and stay secure, it typically needs healthy teeth on both sides of the gap to support it. In general, the bigger the bridge, the harder it can be to keep it stable long-term.
If we feel a bridge won’t be secure enough on its own, we may recommend adding implants for extra support so it feels solid and lasts longer.
What To Expect When Getting A Dental Bridge
First, we’ll get you comfortable using a local anesthetic. Then, we prepare the teeth next to the gap and take precise impressions so your custom bridge fits and looks natural. You’ll leave with a temporary bridge while the final one is made.
At your next visit, we’ll place the permanent bridge, adjust your bite, and show you how to clean around it to keep everything healthy.
