Restore Your Smile With Dental Bridges
A gap in your smile due to a missing tooth can impact the appearance and function of your smile. If you have a missing tooth or teeth that are visible, a dental bridge is one of the options to improve the look and function of your smile. Our cosmetic and restorative dentist at Restore Dental, Dr. Chiu, offers beautiful dental bridges that can replace missing teeth and restore your complete smile.
Dental bridges use your existing teeth as anchors to support prosthetic teeth to fill in gaps in your smile created by missing teeth. While there are different designs and types of dental bridges, the most common uses the adjacent teeth on either side of a missing tooth gap to support the bridge. To attach the bridgework and prosthetic teeth to the existing teeth, dental crowns are added to the teeth. This creates a new row of teeth that look healthy and natural to fill the gap.

Fixed Bridges for Missing Teeth
At Restore Dental, we utilize advanced dental technology to create beautiful dental bridges to improve smile appearance and function for those with missing teeth. Our office has cutting-edge imaging devices, like the iTero 5D imaging system, that can create 3D digital impressions of the teeth to make restorative and cosmetic dental appliances like dental bridges.
This technology allows us to create exact dental crowns and prosthetic teeth that will fit perfectly in the patient’s mouth with their other teeth. There is no need to create a physical mold or impression. We can simply scan the teeth and create a 3D image to send to the dental lab to create the dental bridge.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restores Functionality: Dental bridges can restore the ability to chew and speak properly after tooth loss, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly.
- Prevents Teeth Shifting: Gaps left by missing teeth can cause nearby teeth to shift. A dental bridge prevents this by filling the space and keeping your teeth in proper alignment.
- Enhances Smile Appearance: A dental bridge can improve the appearance of your smile, making it look more complete and natural by filling in the gaps where teeth are missing.
- Protects Remaining Teeth: By filling in the gap left by missing teeth, a dental bridge helps protect the surrounding teeth from further damage and wear.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Dental bridges are strong and durable, often lasting many years, and with proper care, they can withstand the normal wear and tear of everyday use.
When a Dental Bridge May Be Recommended
Dental bridges are commonly recommended when one or more teeth are missing and the surrounding teeth are healthy enough to support the bridge.
This treatment may be suitable if you:
- Have one or several missing teeth in a row
- Want a fixed replacement rather than a removable option
- Have strong neighboring teeth that can support crowns
- Want to restore chewing ability and speech clarity
- Want to improve the appearance of your smile
During your consultation, our dental team will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether a dental bridge is the best option for your needs.
