Missing teeth create more than just gaps in your smile. They can cause a chain reaction of shifting teeth, bite problems, difficulty speaking clearly, and even facial structure changes over time. If your smile is like a puzzle, removing just one piece can change the entire picture. Fortunately, dental bridges offer an effective, long-lasting solution to fill the gaps in your smile by attaching artificial teeth to neighboring healthy teeth.

A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic device designed to “bridge” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges restore your smile’s appearance and functionality by anchoring to natural teeth or implants on either side of the space. Unlike removable dentures, bridges are fixed in place, providing stability and a natural feel.
Dental bridges consist of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (called abutment teeth) with one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) in between, typically made from porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination of materials. The material chosen depends on factors, including the location of the missing tooth, your budget, aesthetic preferences, and functional requirements. We carefully select the color, shape, and size of the artificial teeth to ensure they blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
While an estimated 120 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth, each patient is unique and requires personalized treatment. At Beechnut Dental Care, we offer several types of dental bridges, including the following, to replace your missing teeth based on your unique needs:
We’ll evaluate your specific situation and oral health to recommend the most appropriate bridge type for your needs, taking into consideration factors such as the location of missing teeth, your oral health, aesthetic goals, and budget.
While dental bridges are a common, straightforward treatment for replacing missing teeth, we clearly communicate each step of the process with you to ensure you know what to expect. Our caring team uses gentle yet advanced techniques to ensure you feel comfortable and confident through each of the following phases of your dental bridge journey:
During your first visit, we closely examine your teeth and discuss your treatment options. If a bridge is appropriate, we’ll prepare your gap’s neighboring teeth by reshaping them to allow room for crowns. After preparation, we’ll take precise impressions of your teeth, which serve as models for creating your custom bridge.
While your permanent bridge is being fabricated, we’ll place a temporary bridge to protect the exposed teeth and gums. This temporary solution helps maintain spacing and your smile’s appearance while you wait for your final restoration.
When your permanent bridge is ready, you’ll return to our office for fitting. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper fit, bite alignment, and appearance before permanently cementing the bridge in place. In some cases, we may initially use temporary cement to ensure a proper fit over a few weeks before final placement.
