Dental bridges are fixed prosthetics that fill the gap left by missing teeth. Anchored to nearby teeth or implants, they restore function and appearance so you can chew, speak, and smile confidently again.
Bridges use crowns on nearby teeth or implants to support one or more artificial teeth. We prep the surrounding teeth, take impressions, and place the bridge, restoring your smile’s appearance and function.
Dental bridges fill gaps from missing teeth, restoring your bite, appearance, and speech. They prevent neighboring teeth from shifting and help maintain facial structure and alignment for a confident, functional smile.
Dental Bridges
Replace missing teeth with secure bridges.
Patients missing one or more teeth who prefer a fixed, non-removable option might benefit from dental bridges. It’s ideal for those who want to restore appearance and function without implants or dentures.
The first visit involves preparing adjacent teeth and taking impressions. You’ll wear a temporary bridge until the permanent one is ready. At the second visit, the bridge is cemented in place. It restores appearance and function, and most patients adjust to it quickly.
Dental bridges usually take two visits over one to two weeks. The first visit involves preparing the teeth and taking impressions. The second visit is for fitting and cementing the custom bridge, followed by minor bite adjustments if needed.
Bridges rely on the health of surrounding teeth. Good hygiene and regular checkups are essential to keep them strong. Avoid biting very hard foods, and be sure to floss under the bridge daily to prevent trapped food and decay.
Some soreness is normal after bridge placement. It may take a few days to adjust your bite. Stick to soft foods at first. Keep the area extra clean to avoid buildup under the bridge and protect supporting teeth.
