Dental Bridges: Permanent Solutions for Missing Teeth
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth on either side of the gap. The bridge consists of artificial teeth (pontics) fused to crowns that fit over the adjacent natural teeth, creating a permanent, non-removable solution. Unlike dentures that can slip or require removal, bridges are cemented in place allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence and stability.

How the Dental Bridge Process Works
Consultation & Tooth Preparation
Dr. Krinick evaluates your teeth and prepares the adjacent teeth (abutments) by reshaping them to accommodate the bridge crowns.
Impressions & Temporary Bridge
Precise impressions are taken and sent to the lab. A temporary bridge protects your teeth while the custom bridge is fabricated—typically 1-2 weeks.
Custom Bridge Fabrication
Master ceramists handcraft your bridge to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size for seamless integration.
Permanent Bridge Placement
Your custom bridge is permanently cemented, checked for proper fit and bite, and polished for comfortable, natural function.
The Life-Changing Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges don't just fill gaps—they prevent serious problems caused by missing teeth. Without replacement, neighboring teeth shift, bite alignment changes, and jawbone deteriorates. Bridges restore your smile while protecting your oral health for the long term.
Restore full chewing function and enjoy all your favorite foods without difficulty or embarrassment
Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap, which causes bite problems and crooked teeth
Maintain facial structure by preventing jawbone loss and the sunken appearance from missing teeth
Permanent, non-removable solution—no slipping, no removal, no denture adhesives or cleaning routines
Natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, restoring your confident smile

FAQs
Here are some common questions about dental bridges to help you understand better.
Dental bridges typically last 10-15+ years with proper care. Lifespan depends on oral hygiene, bite forces, and habits. Regular dental checkups, good brushing and flossing (especially under the bridge), and avoiding chewing hard objects maximize bridge longevity.
No, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia so you won't feel pain. You may experience mild sensitivity in the prepared teeth for a few days after, which is manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients adjust to their bridge within days.
Bridges require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth to support the restoration. Dental implants replace missing teeth independently without affecting neighboring teeth, and they prevent bone loss. Implants last longer (20-30+ years) but cost more. Dr. Krinick helps you choose the best option for your situation.
Brush your bridge like natural teeth twice daily. Use floss threaders or special bridge floss to clean under the artificial tooth (pontic) where food and plaque accumulate. Regular dental cleanings remove buildup and check bridge integrity. Good hygiene prevents decay in the supporting teeth.
Dental bridges typically cost $2,000-4,000+ depending on the number of teeth replaced and materials used. Most dental insurance plans cover 50-80% of bridge costs when replacing missing teeth. During your consultation, Dr. Krinick provides transparent pricing and discusses financing options.
