Dental Bridges
General Dentistry Services
Restore your smile and improve your oral health with custom dental bridges at Belmont Dental. Designed to replace missing teeth, our bridges provide a durable and natural-looking solution that helps you regain functionality and confidence.

Why Bridges Are Important
Missing teeth can impact your appearance, oral health, and quality of life.
Dental bridges are an effective solution for:

Restoring Functionality
Bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, making it easier to chew and speak clearly.

Preserving Facial Structure
Fillings restore the structure of your tooth, making it easier to chew and speak.

Preventing Shifting Teeth
Filling the gap keeps neighboring teeth from drifting out of position.

Enhancing Aesthetics
Custom bridges blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a complete, confident smile.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer a wide range of advantages, including:
- Restored Confidence: A complete smile improves self-esteem and social interactions.
- Improved Oral Function: Chewing and speaking become easier and more comfortable.
- Protection for Adjacent Teeth: Prevents undue strain on neighboring teeth caused by gaps.
- Durability: High-quality materials ensure your bridge lasts for many years with proper care.

What to Expect During the Bridge Process
Our personalized approach ensures comfort and precision throughout the bridge process:

Initial Consultation
- A comprehensive exam and digital X-rays help us evaluate your oral health and determine the best type of bridge for your needs.
Tooth Preparation
- If using a traditional bridge, the teeth adjacent to the gap are carefully shaped to accommodate crowns.
- For implant-supported bridges, we ensure that dental implants are securely placed.

Impressions and Custom Design
- Precise impressions are taken to craft a bridge that matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
Temporary Bridge Placement
- A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth and gums while the permanent bridge is being created.
Final Bridge Placement
- The custom bridge is securely bonded in place, and adjustments are made to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite.
Types of Bridges We Offer

Traditional Bridges
- Anchored by Crowns: Uses crowns on adjacent teeth to support the replacement tooth (pontic).
- Durable and Reliable: Ideal for patients with strong, healthy surrounding teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges

- Preserves Jawbone Health: Prevents bone loss associated with missing teeth.

Cantilever Bridges

Maryland Bridges

When You Might Need a Bridge
