Is a Dental Bridge Right for You? Let’s Find Out.

If you’re dealing with any of the situations below, a dental bridge may be worth considering. Our dentists can help determine if it’s the right solution for you.

Missing Multiple Teeth?

A dental bridge can fill the gap between consecutive missing teeth.

Still Have Healthy Teeth Around the Gap?

A traditional bridge may be an option when the teeth next to the space are healthy enough to provide support.

Have Trouble Chewing or Speaking?

A bridge helps your tooth restore its strength so you can chew and speak comfortably.

What to Expect During Your Dental Bridge Procedure

Examine & Plan Your Treatment

We’ll use X-rays, photos, and advanced dental technology to examine your teeth, gums, bite, and the area around your missing tooth.

Prepare the Supporting Teeth

We’ll numb the area then prepare your teeth next to the gap to support your custom bridge. Digital scans or impressions are taken to create a precise fit.

Place a Temporary Bridge

A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent restoration is being made to support the prepared teeth during the process.

Fit Your Permanent Bridge

Once your custom bridge tooth is ready, we’ll check its fit, make any necessary adjustments, and securely bond it in place.

Care for Your New Bridge

We’ll show you how to care for your bridge and the supporting teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a dental bridge can last 5 to 15 years or longer.

What Types of Dental Bridges Do We Offer?

Our bridges are made from zirconia, a strong material that is long-lasting and prevents cracks and fractures when taken proper care of. Based on your oral health, we’ll help you decide which option to go for:
Traditional Bridge
A traditional bridge uses crowns placed on the teeth next to the gap to support the replacement tooth or teeth. It may be an option when you have healthy, strong teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth.
This bridge is supported by a tooth or teeth on only one side of the gap. It may be considered when there isn’t a healthy tooth available on both sides to support a traditional bridge.
A Maryland bridge uses a replacement tooth with wings that attach to the back of nearby teeth rather than placing crowns over them. It may be considered for certain areas of the mouth, like the front teeth, where it minimizes the need to alter the neighboring teeth.
This bridge type uses a dental implant instead of natural teeth to support multiple replacement teeth. It may be an option when you have several missing adjacent teeth and want a more stable, fixed solution.
