Complete Your Smile Solution
What Are Dental Bridges?
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.
- Anchored to healthy teeth on both sides of gap
- Custom-crafted from durable porcelain materials
- Non-removable restoration that stays in place permanently

Who Are Dental Bridges For?
Patients Missing One or a Few Teeth
Those Seeking a Fixed Alternative to Partial Dentures
Anyone Wanting to Maintain Proper Bite Alignment
Do Any of These Situations Sound Familiar to You?
-
Hiding Your Smile Due to Missing Teeth: The gaps in your smile have made you self-conscious and hesitant to show your teeth when you talk or laugh.
-
Struggling to Chew on One Side: A missing molar makes it difficult to properly chew and digest food, so you find yourself favoring the other side.
-
Feeling Your Teeth Shift Over Time: You've noticed that your remaining teeth seem to be moving and your bite feels different since losing a tooth.
-
Frustrated with Removing Partial Dentures: You're tired of taking your partial denture out to clean it and worry about it slipping or clicking when you eat or speak.
-
Avoiding Certain Foods Due to Missing Teeth: Chewy, crunchy, or tough foods have become challenging to eat, and you miss enjoying your favorite meals.
-
Experiencing Jaw Pain or Headaches: The uneven chewing pressure from missing teeth has led to jaw discomfort and frequent headaches.
-
Noticing Changes in Your Speech: Your tongue catches on the gap left by a missing tooth, causing you to lisp or whistle when you speak.
-
Exploring More Affordable Options: While you're interested in dental implants, you're looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to complete your smile.
-
Wanting a Timely Tooth Replacement: You have an important event coming up and desire a reliable solution that can be completed in just a few visits.
-
Interested in a Low-Maintenance Solution: You're seeking a fixed tooth replacement option that doesn't require any special cleaning routines or frequent adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental Bridges FAQs
What is a dental bridge?
What are the benefits of dental bridges?
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.
What types of dental bridges are available?
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.
What is the process of getting a dental bridge?
How long do dental bridges last?
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.
Are dental bridges covered by insurance?
How do I care for my dental bridge?
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.
Can I get a dental bridge if I have gum disease?
What are the alternatives to dental bridges?
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.
