I hadn't visited a dentist since I was a kid and now as an adult with insurance for the first time it was time to fix my smile and Im so thankful I came here! I was petrified but everyone here was so warm and welcoming and make me feel so seen and accepted! From my first xray struggles with poor T and Lauryn who had to deal with my terrible gag reflex to my first step of fixing my smile! Dr. Shach and Lauryn were so warm and friendly and made me feel like we had all the time in the world and didn't rush me through the daunting surgery. They answered questions I didn't know i had, gave me a goodie bag full of everything I could need for healing (even a cold compress!)and made sure i knew to contact them ASAP with ANY concerns. Lauryn giving me special attention when I was nervous and keeping me occupied and distracted when I needed it. They are so good at making sure I didn't feel like like a bother and take the time at every appointment during my healing process to make sure I know what's going on and comfortable with all the steps. Coming in for my follow up appointment I got to meet Connie who was more than happy to answer my last minute questions and gave me additional info I never would have thought to ask but is SUPER HELPFUL! T even came in to check on me when she happened to walk by and see me. Shes so genuine and sweet and wanted to know how everything was going. Everyone in the office seems to remember me by name without my prompting and I dont feel like a random patient among the hundreds they must see weekly. They recognize me at a glance and are all to happy to check in and provide encouragement.
Make an appointment. It'll be the best decision you have ever made!
Dr Chamberlain did an awesome job. Nice team worked as one. I will definitely be back!
Assistant on top of things A+. Dr did special fillings and I had difficulty telling them from my teeth. Excellent job. Wish I had done them sooner. Great experience! Would refer Dr Chamberlain and team. 5/5!
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a long-term and natural-looking way to replace one or more missing teeth. Designed to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, a bridge helps restore your smile with a seamless look. Beyond appearance, bridges support your oral health too—making it easier to chew, speak clearly and keep your teeth properly aligned.
What types of dental bridges are there?
Not sure which bridge is right for you? The best option depends on where your missing tooth is, how healthy your teeth are, and the health of your surrounding structure.Traditional, fixed bridge
This is the most common option. It uses crowns on both sides of the gap to hold the replacement tooth in place. Traditional bridges are strong and durable, making them a trusted choice for patients missing one or more teeth in the same area.
Cantilever bridge
Used when there is only one natural tooth next to the gap, a cantilever bridge relies on a single anchor tooth for support. While less common, it can be effective when other options are not available.
Maryland bridge
This conservative option attaches the replacement tooth using porcelain or metal wings bonded to the back of neighboring teeth. It requires less preparation but may not be as durable for areas that take heavy chewing pressure.
Implant-supported bridge
The most stable option, this type uses dental implants instead of natural teeth for support. Implant-supported bridges provide excellent strength and longevity, making them ideal for patients seeking a permanent solution.
