Great experience, every person I interacted with was outstanding. I went in with an idea of what was going to happen and I have options. This is fantastic. I can wait to come back with my follow up.
Excellent practice! Very easy to schedule my check-up and prepare my documents for the military!
Incredibly kind, patient, encouraging, and caring staff. I came in feeling very anxious and ashamed after 6+ years without dental care due to a dental emergency. They never once made me feel ashamed, just empowered and cared for. From the administrative team to the technicians to the dentist himself, everyone I encountered was so incredibly kind, helpful, and patient, even though I was very scared and had a lot of questions. The pricing was the scariest part, which I expected without insurance, but they never made me feel bad for having questions or needing other options. That said, it was more expensive than the website suggested, depending on the services needed. But you can at least get an evaluation with X-rays and a treatment plan very affordably, during which the full costs of a future treatment plan are presented. They also offer financing and a savings program. Highly recommend them if you are also overdue for dental care and experiencing a lot of anxiety about it. I am very relieved to have found a team I can trust.
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.
