Close the Gap With a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a natural-looking replacement tooth to the teeth on either side. It restores your bite and keeps neighboring teeth from shifting.
How a Bridge Works
The teeth next to the gap are shaped and fitted with crowns. These crowns hold the replacement tooth — called a pontic — firmly in place. Bridges can also be supported by dental implants when neighboring teeth need to stay untouched.
Your Bridge in Three Steps
Tooth Preparation
We gently shape the anchor teeth on either side of the gap and take a precise impression of your bite.
Temporary Bridge
While your permanent bridge is being crafted, we fit you with a temporary bridge to protect the teeth and restore your smile.
Final Placement
Once your custom porcelain bridge is ready, we bond it permanently in place and check your bite for a perfect fit.
