Complete Your Smile Solution

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge literally “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. This custom restoration consists of artificial teeth (called pontics) anchored to crowns placed on your natural teeth on either side of the gap. At Briggs Family Dental in New Market, VA, your bridge is crafted from high-quality porcelain to match your natural teeth perfectly.


The bridge restoration process typically requires two appointments. During your first visit, the supporting teeth are prepared and impressions are taken. Your permanent bridge is then custom-made in a dental laboratory. Once placed, your bridge restores both the appearance and function of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Complete Smiles Without Gaps

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Missing teeth create problems beyond aesthetics. Bridges fill those gaps to restore proper chewing, prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position, and maintain facial structure while giving back the confidence of a complete smile.
Restore Complete Function and Bite Strength
Missing teeth make it difficult to chew and speak properly. A dental bridge restores full function, allowing you to eat and communicate with total comfort and efficiency.
When a tooth is lost, surrounding teeth tend to shift toward the gap. A bridge fills the space to keep your teeth properly aligned and prevent a chain reaction of dental problems.
Misaligned teeth can throw off your bite balance, leading to jaw pain, headaches, and worn enamel. By keeping your bite even, a bridge helps you avoid these uncomfortable complications.
Missing teeth can cause the jawbone to shrink and facial structures to collapse over time, leading to a prematurely aged appearance. A bridge helps maintain facial fullness and structure.
When a tooth is lost, extra strain is placed on the remaining teeth during chewing. A bridge helps redistribute this force across your bite for improved comfort and stability
Dental bridges can often be placed in just two visits without the need for surgery. It’s a convenient, minimally-invasive way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile.

Bridging the Gap in Your Smile

Who Are Dental Bridges For?

If you’re missing one or more teeth, you’re not alone. Dental bridges are a trusted solution for patients who want to restore their smiles, improve their chewing ability, and prevent their remaining teeth from shifting out of place.

Patients Missing One or a Few Teeth

Bridges are ideal for closing the gaps left by one to three missing teeth in a row, especially in highly visible areas of your smile.

Those Seeking a Fixed Alternative to Partial Dentures

If you prefer a more stable, non-removable option for replacing missing teeth, a dental bridge may be the perfect fit.

Anyone Wanting to Maintain Proper Bite Alignment

Bridges help distribute chewing forces evenly and prevent surrounding teeth from drifting into the empty space, preserving your bite.

Bridging the Gap in Your Smile

Our Dental Bridge Process

If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can be an effective solution for restoring your smile’s appearance and function. At Briggs Family Dental, we use high-quality materials and precise techniques to create bridges that look and feel natural.
1

Preparing Your Supporting Teeth

We begin by gently reshaping the teeth on either side of the gap to serve as anchors for your bridge. These teeth will be fitted with crowns to provide a stable foundation for your replacement teeth. We take great care to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
2

Precise Impressions & Customization

Using advanced digital technology, we take highly accurate impressions of your prepared teeth and the surrounding area. These impressions are used to create a precise model for crafting your custom bridge. We work closely with skilled lab technicians to ensure your bridge blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
3

Secure, Comfortable Placement

Once your custom bridge is ready, we carefully check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and function. We then securely bond the bridge in place, creating a stable, seamless restoration. With proper care, your bridge can provide years of confident smiles and effortless eating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental Bridges FAQs

Missing teeth create concerns about replacement options and long-term oral health. Here, patients find detailed answers about dental bridges, from candidacy requirements to maintenance needs. Discover how bridges restore both function and confidence to your smile.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants (called abutments). At Briggs Family Dental, we use high-quality materials, such as porcelain or zirconia, to create bridges that look and function like natural teeth, restoring your smile’s health, function, and beauty.

Dental bridges offer numerous benefits for patients with missing teeth, including:

  • Restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence
  • Preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of position
  • Maintaining the shape of your face and preventing facial sagging
  • Distributing the forces of your bite properly, reducing stress on individual teeth
  • Enhancing the appearance of your smile by filling the gap left by missing teeth
  • Improving your overall oral health and quality of life

At Briggs Family Dental, we believe that dental bridges are an excellent solution for many patients seeking to restore their smiles after tooth loss.

At Briggs Family Dental, we offer several types of dental bridges to meet our patients’ diverse needs:

  • Traditional bridges: These bridges consist of one or more pontics anchored to dental crowns on either side of the gap. Traditional bridges are the most common type and are suitable for patients with healthy adjacent teeth.
  • Cantilever bridges: These bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth. The pontic is anchored to a dental crown on just one side.
  • Maryland bridges: Also known as resin-bonded bridges, these bridges use metal or porcelain wings bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth to support the pontic. Maryland bridges are less invasive than traditional bridges, as they don’t require extensive tooth preparation.
  • Implant-supported bridges: These bridges are anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth. Implant-supported bridges are ideal for patients with several missing teeth in a row and offer unmatched stability and longevity.

Dr. Briggs will work with you to determine the best type of dental bridge for your unique situation, ensuring optimal results.

Getting a dental bridge typically requires two visits to Briggs Family Dental. During the first visit, Dr. Briggs will prepare the abutment teeth by removing a portion of the enamel to accommodate the dental crowns. He will then take impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create your custom bridge. A temporary bridge will be placed to protect your teeth and gums while your permanent bridge is being crafted. At your second visit, Dr. Briggs will remove the temporary bridge and check the fit, color, and appearance of your new bridge. Any necessary adjustments will be made before the bridge is permanently cemented in place.

With proper care, dental bridges can last 10–15 years or more. Their lifespan depends on your oral hygiene, diet, and the health of your surrounding teeth and gums. To help your bridge last as long as possible:

  • Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss daily, using a floss threader to clean under and around your bridge
  • Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash to reduce the risk of decay and gum disease
  • Avoid hard, sticky, or sugary foods that may damage the bridge
  • Schedule regular check-ups and cleanings at Briggs Family Dental

By following these steps, you can help ensure your dental bridge provides lasting function and a beautiful smile.

Most dental insurance plans offer some coverage for dental bridges, as they are considered a necessary restorative treatment. However, the extent of coverage can vary depending on your specific plan and the type of bridge you need. At Briggs Family Dental, our knowledgeable team will work with you to understand your insurance benefits and maximize your coverage. We also offer flexible financing options to help make your dental bridge more affordable.

Caring for your dental bridge is crucial for maintaining its longevity and the health of your surrounding teeth and gums. In addition to regular brushing and flossing, we recommend:

  • Use a floss threader or super floss to clean under and around your bridge
  • Brush your tongue and cheeks to remove bacteria and freshen your breath
  • Use an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce the risk of decay and gum disease
  • Wear a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth
  • Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Briggs Family Dental

Dr. Briggs and our team will provide you with personalized guidance on caring for your dental bridge and maintaining optimal oral health.

If you have active gum disease, it will need to be treated before you can receive a dental bridge. Gum disease can weaken the supporting structures of your teeth, compromising the stability and longevity of your bridge. At Briggs Family Dental, Dr. Briggs will assess your gum health and recommend the appropriate treatment, such as scaling and root planing or periodontal therapy, to restore your gums to a healthy state before proceeding with your dental bridge.

While dental bridges are an excellent solution for many patients with missing teeth, there are alternative treatments available depending on your specific needs and preferences:

  • Dental implants: These are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants offer unmatched stability and longevity and can be used to replace one or more missing teeth.
  • Partial dentures: These are removable prosthetic devices that consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base. Partial dentures are held in place by clasps that attach to your natural teeth and can be a more affordable alternative to bridges or implants.

Dr. Briggs will discuss all of your treatment options with you and help you make an informed decision based on your unique situation and goals.

To schedule a consultation for a dental bridge at Briggs Family Dental, simply call our office or use our convenient online booking system. During your consultation, Dr. Briggs will assess your oral health, discuss your concerns and goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile’s function and beauty.

I had a toothache which I had gotten antibiotic for. I called Briggs because they are right next door to us. They worked me in and asked me after looking at it whether I wanted it cared for yet, that day after I was expecting to need to come back another day. I was impressed with the efficiency .

I was accepted as a new patient and was seen by the doctor right away. My previous dentist could not be reached (after 3 attempts) to share x-rays. Dr. Nauss’s assistant very efficiently got whole mouth x-rays without further wait. I left with a plan for my dental work, including insurance estimates. They scheduled my next appointment to my satisfaction. I’m well pleased with the professionalism of the entire team at Briggs Family Dentistry Just got the semi annual cleaning with Brittany. I actually enjoyed the process and recommend her for your next cleaning. .
