Dental Bridges

CREATING HEALTHY SMILES SINCE 1976

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are supported by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The bridge literally "bridges" the gap created by missing teeth, restoring both the appearance and functionality of the smile.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges serve as a vital solution for replacing missing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.  It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are supported by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The bridge literally "bridges" the gap created by missing teeth, restoring both the appearance and functionality of the smile.


The process involves preparing the adjacent teeth for crowns, which act as anchors for the bridge. The pontics are then attached to these crowns, creating a seamless and natural-looking replacement for the missing teeth. Dental bridges are a reliable solution for improving chewing ability, maintaining facial structure, and enhancing overall oral health. 

What Are Your Dental Bridge Options?

Traditional — Caps are bonded over teeth that lie on either side of the missing one

Cantilever — Cap is bonded over a single tooth next to the missing one

Resin-bonded “Maryland”— Cap is bonded and supported by metal “wings”

Dental Bridge Vs. Dental Implants

Dental bridges and dental implants are both options for replacing missing teeth, but they work differently. A dental bridge uses neighboring teeth for support and is fixed in place, while a dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth. Bridges are quicker and less invasive but may affect nearby teeth, while implants provide more stability and long-term benefits but require surgery. Choosing between them depends on factors like oral health, cost, and personal preference.
