What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. The bridge anchors to neighboring teeth or dental implants and holds a replacement tooth (or teeth) in the empty space.

We offer both:

  • Traditional bridges – Supported by natural teeth with crowns on either side
  • Implant-supported bridges – Secured with dental implants for greater stability and bone support

Whether you're missing a single tooth or several, we can design a bridge that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Tooth loss doesn’t just affect your smile—it can also lead to shifting teeth, bite imbalance, jaw pain, and even bone loss. Replacing missing teeth with a bridge can:

  • Restore your ability to chew and speak properly
  • Maintain facial structure and jaw alignment
  • Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
  • Improve your appearance and confidence
  • Provide a stable, fixed alternative to partial dentures

Patients across Upper Marlboro, Clinton, Largo, District Heights, and Camp Springs trust us to create seamless bridges that complete their smiles.

What to Expect From Bridge Treatment

The process usually takes two visits for a traditional bridge:

  1. Preparation of Adjacent Teeth
    We reshape the teeth on either side of the gap to support crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
  2. Impressions and Temporary Bridge
    We take digital impressions and fit a temporary bridge to protect your smile while the final one is crafted.
  3. Final Bridge Placement
    Once ready, we cement your custom bridge in place, check your bite, and make any final adjustments.

If you're receiving an implant-supported bridge, the process includes dental implant placement and healing time prior to attaching your bridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental bridges last?

With proper care, dental bridges can last 10–15 years or more. Regular cleanings and exams will help extend their lifespan.

Are bridges better than dental implants?

Both are excellent options, but the right choice depends on your needs. Implants protect bone health, while bridges offer a faster and often more affordable solution.

Will a dental bridge look natural?

Yes. Our bridges are made from high-quality ceramic or porcelain and are carefully color-matched to your surrounding teeth.

Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?

Absolutely. Once your bridge is placed, you’ll be able to chew and speak normally—often better than before.

Is the procedure painful?

Not at all. We use gentle techniques and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the process. Most patients report little to no discomfort.
