Dental Bridges

Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. A dental bridge is a fixed restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. By filling the gap left by missing teeth, a bridge helps maintain alignment and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting.



Dr. David Goldschein carefully assesses the surrounding teeth to determine whether they are strong enough to support a bridge. If additional reinforcement is needed, other restorative options may be recommended. Each bridge is crafted from durable, natural-looking materials to ensure comfort, function, and aesthetic appeal.

How Dental Bridges Work

A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, supported by crowns placed on adjacent teeth or secured by implants. Once placed, a dental bridge restores bite function, prevents undue stress on surrounding teeth, and helps maintain facial structure.



The procedure involves preparing the supporting teeth by reshaping them for crown placement. Impressions are taken to create a custom bridge that blends seamlessly with natural teeth. A temporary bridge is placed while the permanent one is being fabricated. Once ready, the final bridge is bonded into place, restoring function and stability.

A well-designed dental bridge enhances both the health and appearance of your smile, allowing you to enjoy a confident, fully functional bite once again.
