Custom Dental Bridges for a Confident Smile
Living with missing teeth can change the way you talk, eat, and feel about your smile. Dental bridges offer a dependable and natural-looking way to close those gaps. These restorations are designed to bring balance back to your bite, improve aesthetics, and prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place.
Each dental bridge is crafted to match your unique tooth shape and color, helping you regain a comfortable, functional, and confident smile. Whether you're missing a single tooth or several in a row, bridges are a great way to restore harmony to your daily life.
How Dental Bridges Work
A dental bridge uses one or more artificial teeth—called pontics—to fill the space left by missing teeth. These pontics are anchored either by the natural teeth on each side or by dental implants. Once placed, a bridge feels natural, looks seamless, and helps restore essential functions like chewing and speaking clearly.
Beyond aesthetics, dental bridges are crucial for maintaining your oral structure. They keep surrounding teeth from drifting, support your facial shape, and help distribute bite pressure more evenly across your mouth.
Types of Dental Bridges Available
Your dentist at Copperfield Family Dental will help you choose the most appropriate bridge based on your oral health, lifestyle, and the number of teeth missing. Common options include:
Traditional Dental Bridge
This option relies on dental crowns placed on the teeth next to the empty space. It’s a strong, stable solution for patients with healthy supporting teeth on both sides of the gap.
Cantilever Bridge
Ideal when there's only one natural tooth adjacent to the missing space, this bridge attaches to just one abutment tooth. It’s a good alternative when traditional support isn’t available on both sides.
Maryland Bridge
Instead of crowns, this bridge uses a metal or porcelain framework that’s bonded to the back of nearby teeth. It involves minimal tooth preparation and is often used for front tooth replacement.
