Rebuild Your Smile, One Tooth at a Time

Missing a tooth—or several—can affect more than just your appearance. It can impact how you chew, speak, and even how your surrounding teeth function. At Pristine Dental and Orthodontics, we offer custom dental bridges to close the gap, restore balance, and bring harmony back to your smile.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally "bridges" the space left behind using a combination of crowns and artificial teeth (called pontics). The crowns are anchored to healthy teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap, providing strong, stable support for the replacement tooth.

Bridges are crafted from durable materials like porcelain or zirconia for a natural look and long-lasting performance.

Why You Might Need a Bridge

You may benefit from a dental bridge if you:

• Are missing one or more adjacent teeth
• Have difficulty chewing or speaking clearly due to gaps
• Notice teeth shifting out of place over time
• Want a fixed alternative to partial dentures

Replacing missing teeth not only improves your smile—it also helps maintain facial structure and bite alignment.

How the Process Works

Step 1: Consultation and Planning

We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital imaging to assess your teeth and determine the best solution. If a bridge is right for you, we’ll walk you through the entire process and timeline.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

The teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) are shaped to hold the crowns that will support the bridge. We take impressions to design your custom restoration.

Step 3: Temporary Bridge Placement

While your permanent bridge is being crafted at the lab, we place a temporary one to protect your teeth and maintain function.

Step 4: Final Placement

Once ready, we secure your custom bridge in place. We ensure it fits comfortably, looks natural, and functions seamlessly with your bite.

• Restore full chewing function
• Prevent teeth from shifting out of place
• Enhance your appearance and confidence
