Dental Bridges

Dental bridges that restore your smile, fill gaps, and boost confidence. Dr. Kabaklian and his team design custom dental bridges with precision to create a seamless, natural look.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed tooth replacement option used to fill a gap caused by a missing tooth. It can also be used to fill a gap caused by more than one missing tooth, which makes it a go-to option in restorative dentistry. A tooth bridge is anchored to neighboring teeth or dental implants, restoring both function and appearance so you can chew, bite, and smile confidently again.

Dental bridges are customized for your smile and are made from durable, natural-looking materials like porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia.

Common types of dental bridge procedures include:

Traditional fixed dental bridge: Anchored to abutment teeth using dental crowns placed on either side of the gap
Cantilever bridge: Supported by a single abutment tooth when only one adjacent tooth is available
Maryland (resin-bonded) bridge: Uses a metal or ceramic framework bonded to the back of surrounding teeth
Implant supported bridge: Secured with dental implants instead of natural teeth for added stability and longevity

After your exam, your dentist can help you decide which bridge option is best for you.

Dental bridge alternatives

Dental bridges are a popular and effective solution for missing teeth, but they aren’t the only option. The best route for you depends on your long term goals, your needs, and your oral health.

Dental bridge alternatives might include:

Dental implants: A permanent solution that replaces both the tooth root and crown with an implant crown
Partial dentures: A removable option for replacing multiple missing teeth
Full dentures: Used when all teeth in an arch need to be replaced

Each option has its own benefits. Dentures can replace many teeth at once, while full mouth implants offer a fixed solution when an entire arch needs to be replaced. The right choice depends on factors like bone health, budget, and how many teeth are missing. Your dentist will walk you through the best fit for your situation after taking the time to learn all about your needs.

How long do dental bridges last (lifespan)?

Traditional fixed dental bridges typically last 10–15 years, while implant supported bridges can last even longer with proper care. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding excessive pressure (like grinding) can all help extend the life of your bridge.

How much do dental bridges cost?

The cost of a dental bridge varies depending on the type of bridge, materials used, and the complexity of your case. Implant supported bridges tend to cost more than traditional bridges, but may offer greater long-term durability. Dental insurance may cover a portion of the cost, and our team can help you understand your benefits and financing options.

Are any of the tooth replacement procedures painful?

Most tooth replacement procedures, including dental bridges, are not painful. Traditional bridges involve preparing abutment teeth for dental crowns, which is done with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Dental implant procedures may involve minor post-procedure soreness, but this is manageable with over-the-counter medication. Patients are frequently surprised how pain-and-stress-free our treatments are.

Is there any difference to oral hygiene/cleaning post procedure?

Yes, maintaining a dental bridge requires a slightly different approach to oral hygiene. Since a fixed dental bridge sits above the gum line, it’s important to clean underneath using floss threaders or specialized brushes. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings will help keep your bridge and surrounding teeth healthy for years to come.
