Bridge the Gap in Your Smile

Don't let missing teeth affect your confidence or dental health. A dental bridge is a permanent, custom-made solution that fills the space and prevents your other teeth from shifting.

Why Replace a Missing Tooth?

Leaving a gap is more than just a cosmetic issue. It can lead to a chain reaction of dental problems.

Prevent Shifting

Neighboring teeth will naturally drift into the empty space, causing misalignment and bite issues.

Restore Function

Missing teeth make chewing difficult, often forcing you to chew on only one side, which wears down those teeth faster.

Speech & Aesthetics

Front teeth play a key role in pronouncing words correctly. A bridge restores your voice and your smile.

Types of Dental Bridges

We offer different solutions depending on the location of the missing tooth and the health of your surrounding teeth.

Traditional Bridge

The most common type. It consists of one or more fake teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns cemented onto the teeth adjacent to the gap.

  • Strong & Durable
  • Ideal for back teeth
Implant-Supported

Instead of using natural teeth as anchors, dental implants are placed in the jawbone to hold the bridge. This is the most stable option.

  • Preserves natural teeth
  • Prevents bone loss
Maryland Bridge

Uses metal or porcelain "wings" bonded to the back of existing teeth. No crowns are needed on the adjacent teeth.

  • Minimally Invasive
  • Best for front teeth

The Bridge Process

Similar to crowns, getting a bridge usually requires two visits.

1
Preparation

The anchor teeth are reshaped to fit the crowns. We take impressions and place a temporary bridge.

2
Fabrication

A specialized lab crafts your custom bridge from high-quality porcelain to match your exact shade.

3
Placement

You return for the final fitting. We adjust the bite and permanently cement the bridge in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental bridges typically last 10-15 years, but they can last much longer with good oral hygiene. The health of the "anchor" teeth is crucial for the bridge's longevity.

It requires a slightly different technique. Since the teeth are connected, you cannot floss down between them. You will need to use a "floss threader" or a special proxy brush to clean underneath the false tooth. We will show you exactly how to do this.

Implants are generally considered the "gold standard" because they don't require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. However, bridges are a faster and more affordable option, and they are excellent if the neighboring teeth already need crowns.
