Dental Bridges
Los Angeles

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with an artificial tooth or teeth supported by neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. A fixed bridge remains in place and is removed only by a dental professional. It may help restore chewing function, speech, and the appearance of your smile.

What to Expect During a Dental Bridge Evaluation

At Cal Dental Group, your dentist evaluates the space, the health of nearby teeth and gums, your bite, and available support before recommending treatment. Depending on your clinical needs, options may include a traditional tooth-supported bridge or an implant-supported bridge. Dental implants and removable partial dentures may also be discussed so you can compare appropriate ways to replace missing teeth.

Treatment planning may involve digital records or impressions and preparation of supporting teeth when needed. After the final bridge is fitted, your dental team will explain how to clean around and beneath it. The American Dental Association notes that keeping the supporting teeth healthy is important for a bridge’s foundation; see the ADA’s patient guide to dental bridges.
