DENTAL BRIDGES

Seamlessly Replacing Missing Teeth for a Complete Confident Smile

UNDERSTANDING DENTAL BRIDGES

Types and Their Unique Advantages

Dental bridges are a reliable treatment for replacing missing teeth and restoring a full, functional smile. We offer several types:


  • Traditional Bridges: Two crowns anchor a false tooth (pontic) between them. Strong and long-lasting.
  • Cantilever Bridges: Ideal when only one adjacent tooth is available. Used in areas with less chewing pressure.
  • Maryland Bridges: A conservative option where the pontic is bonded to the back of adjacent teeth using metal or porcelain wings.


Each type offers specific benefits depending on your needs, and Dr. Lee will help determine the right fit. With proper care, dental bridges can last for many years and maintain the integrity of your smile.

BENEFITS AND PROCEDURE

Restoring Appearance and Oral Health

Dental bridges do more than replace missing teeth—they also restore your ability to chew and speak properly. Bridges prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place and improve the appearance of your smile. The procedure typically involves an initial exam, tooth preparation, and impressions, followed by the placement of a custom-fit bridge. We ensure you're informed and comfortable every step of the way, using the latest techniques for natural-looking, long-lasting results.

COST, PREPARATION, AND AFTERCARE

Affordable, Personalized, and Long-Lasting Treatments

The cost of a dental bridge varies based on the type, materials used, and complexity of the procedure. We offer options to suit your dental needs and budget, and our team will help you choose the best treatment. Before treatment, we perform a full dental exam and discuss your options in detail. After your bridge is placed, regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups will keep it in excellent shape. With proper care, your bridge can last for many years, restoring confidence and function to your smile.
