EVERYTHING ABOUT DENTAL BRIDGES
Replace missing teeth with a natural, fixed solution
A dental bridge fills the gap from one missing tooth—or several in a row—so you can chew comfortably and smile with confidence. Bridges can be tooth-supported (anchored to crowns on neighboring teeth) or implant-supported (attached to dental implants). We’ll help you choose the right option for your bite, timeline, and budget.
How a bridge works
For a tooth-supported bridge, we shape the neighboring teeth for crowns, take a scan/impressions, and place a temporary bridge. Your custom bridge is then crafted and cemented for a seamless look.
Good fit if you want to:
Alternatives to consider
- Single dental implant + crown (often preserves neighboring teeth)
- Partial denture (removable and budget-friendly)
- We’ll outline pros/cons so you can choose confidently.
What to expect
Most fillings take under an hour. If you’re numb, chew on the opposite side until feeling returns. Mild sensitivity to cold is common for a few days and usually fades quickly—tell us if it doesn’t.
Durability & care
Brush and floss daily, limit frequent sugary snacks, and keep routine cleanings. Avoid chewing ice or hard objects. With good habits, composites last many years.
Costs & financing
We’ll review a clear estimate before treatment. Our procedures are often elective; flexible financing is available through CareCredit® and LendingClub®.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers. If you can not find the answer you're looking for please reach out to us, we will gladly provide you with the answers you need.
Will it look natural?
Yes—shade and shape are matched to your smile for a seamless result.
Bridge vs. implant—how do I choose?
A bridge is faster and fixed; an implant replaces the root and often leaves neighbors untouched. We’ll review bone, health, and costs.
How long does a bridge last?
With good home care and checkups, many bridges last 10+ years; habits and hygiene matter.
Is the procedure painful?
We keep you comfortable with local anesthetic and gentle techniques. Some tenderness is normal and short-lived.
Can I eat normally?
Start soft for a day or two, then return to your usual diet—avoid very sticky/hard foods.
How do I clean under it?
Use floss threaders or a water flosser daily; we’ll demonstrate the best technique for your bridge.
What if the temporary bridge comes loose?
Call us—we’ll re-cement it to protect the teeth while your final is made.
Will insurance help?
Many plans contribute to medically necessary bridges. We’ll provide a clear estimate and offer CareCredit® and LendingClub®.
