What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching a false tooth, called a pontic, to the healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Those supporting teeth are covered with crowns that hold the bridge securely in place.
Replacing a missing tooth matters for more than looks. Without it, nearby teeth can drift into the space, your bite can shift and chewing on that side becomes harder.
To qualify for a traditional bridge, the teeth next to the gap need to be strong enough to support it. We check this with an exam and digital X-rays before recommending a plan.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Natural-looking
Tooth-colored materials blend with your smile.
Better chewing
Restore a full bite on the side where a tooth is missing.
Stable bite
Helps keep remaining teeth from drifting out of place.
Faster than implants
A bridge is usually completed in a few weeks.
Getting a Dental Bridge
- 1
Exam and X-rays
We check the supporting teeth and gums and talk through bridge, implant and denture options.
- 2
Preparation
The supporting teeth are numbed and shaped, and we take impressions for the lab.
- 3
Temporary bridge
A temporary bridge protects the teeth while your permanent one is made.
- 4
Final fitting
We check fit and bite and cement your bridge in place.
Types of Dental Bridges
We offer three main types, so we can match the bridge to your mouth:
Traditional bridge
The most common type: crowns on both neighboring teeth hold the replacement tooth between them.
Cantilever bridge
Used when there is a supporting tooth on only one side of the gap. Not recommended where chewing forces are heavy.
Maryland (resin-bonded) bridge
A replacement tooth with wings bonded to the backs of the neighboring teeth, with less reshaping.
Care That Fits Your Budget
The dental bridge cost depends on how many teeth the fixed bridge replaces and the materials used. We accept most dental insurance plans and check your benefits before treatment, so you know your share up front. Need to spread out the cost?
