Restore Your Smile with Lasting, Natural-Looking Solutions
Missing teeth can impact your confidence, your bite, and your overall oral health. At Firefly Family Dentistry, we offer durable, beautifully crafted dental bridges to help you reclaim your smile and improve your quality of life.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of a prosthetic tooth (pontic) supported by crowns placed on the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth).
Our team carefully designs each bridge to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless, undetectable result.
Ideal candidates for dental bridges:
Missing one or three consecutive teeth
Have healthy surrounding teeth or dental implants to anchor the bridge
Want a non-surgical, long-lasting tooth replacement solution
If you have existing oral health issues, such as gum disease, Dr. Matthew Sandberg and Dr. Katelyn Stine may recommend preliminary treatment to ensure the best outcome.
Dental Bridge vs Dental Implants Which is Right For You?
Dental Implant
Surgically placed inside the jawbone
Ideal for replacing one or multiple teeth
Require healthy bone structure for support
Dental Bridge
Non-surgical option
Depend on neighboring teeth for support, not the jawbone
Can be completed faster than implants
During your consultation, we’ll review your goals and oral health to determine the best option for your needs.
What to Expect During Your Dental Bridge Treatment
Getting a dental bridge typically involves two appointments:
First Visit
We prepare the adjacent teeth by shaping them for crown placement.
Digital impressions are taken to design your custom bridge.
A temporary bridge is placed to protect your smile.
Second Visit
Your permanent, custom-crafted bridge is securely bonded in place.
We make any necessary adjustments for comfort, function, and appearance.
With proper care, your new bridge can provide lasting comfort and a confident smile for years to come.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Choosing a dental bridge at Firefly Family Dentistry offers many advantages, including:
Restored bite function for easier chewing and speaking
Prevention of shifting teeth that can cause jaw misalignment and TMJ issues
Improved speech clarity affected by missing teeth
Long-lasting results, often lasting over ten years with proper care
How Much does a Dental Bridge Cost?
The cost of a dental bridge varies based on the materials used, the number of teeth being replaced, and your specific treatment plan.
Most dental insurance plans offer some coverage for bridges, and we’re happy to assist you with maximizing your benefits. We also offer flexible payment options to make restoring your smile more affordable.
