Dental Bridge

Dental Bridge using pontics

Restore your smile and chewing function with a fixed prosthetic "bridge" that fills the gap with custom-crafted teeth.

The Process

  • During your first visit, we prepare the abutment teeth (or implants) by reshaping them and taking impressions or digital scans.

  • A temporary bridge is placed to protect your smile while the lab crafts your permanent custom bridge.

  • On the second visit, the final bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place for a seamless finish.

The Results

Your bridge restores full function—allowing comfortable chewing, restored speech, and increased confidence. It maintains healthy alignment by preventing neighboring teeth from drifting out of place.

Care Tips After a Dental Bridge

  • Brush and floss daily—use specialized floss or interdental brushes to clean under the pontic

  • Avoid biting into hard foods that can damage the bridge

  • Visit us regularly for checkups and cleanings

  • Address any looseness or discomfort immediately to prevent complications

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth (abutments) or implants—bridging the gap for both function and aesthetics.

Benefits of a Dental Bridge

  • Restores tooth function—making chewing and speaking easier

  • Enhances appearance by filling the gap and supporting your smile structure

  • Prevents shifting of healthy adjacent teeth

  • Durable solution that can last 10+ years with proper care

When It’s Recommended

  • One or more consecutive missing teeth

  • Healthy teeth or implants available to support the bridge

  • Desire for a fixed, non-removable solution

  • Want to avoid the cost or surgery of an implant
