What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are fixed prosthetics that close gaps left by missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) supported by adjacent natural teeth or implants. At Baker Dental Studio, we offer customized options—including traditional bridges and implant-supported designs—that blend with your enamel for a seamless look. Our bridges help preserve jaw alignment and maintain a healthy bite.

Our restorative dentistry services include a variety of solutions tailored to your needs—from bridges and crowns to implants and dentures.

How Bridges Can Improve Your Smile

  • Restore Chewing Function: Bridges replace missing teeth so you can enjoy all your favorite foods comfortably.
  • Preserve Facial Structure: Filling gaps prevents jawbone deterioration and maintains your facial shape.
  • Enhance Speech: Missing teeth can affect your pronunciation; bridges smooth out your speech clarity.
  • Prevent Misalignment: Bridges stop neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap, preserving bite balance.

Boost Confidence: A complete smile brings self-assurance for social and professional settings.

FAQs About Dental Bridges

  1. How long do dental bridges last?

Dental bridges can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care. Good oral hygiene, routine cleanings, and avoiding habits like chewing ice will extend their lifespan.

  1. Do dental bridges look natural?

Yes. Modern bridges are made from porcelain or ceramic materials that closely mimic natural enamel. At Baker Dental Studio, bridges are custom-shaded to blend seamlessly with your smile.

  1. Are dental bridges difficult to care for?

Not at all. You brush and floss as usual, though we recommend special floss threaders or water flossers to clean under the bridge. Regular checkups help maintain their condition.

  1. What’s the difference between a bridge and an implant?

A bridge uses neighboring teeth or implants for support, while an implant replaces the missing tooth root directly in the jawbone. Bridges are often faster, while implants offer a standalone solution.

  1. Does getting a dental bridge hurt?

No. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. Some patients experience minor sensitivity afterward, but this resolves quickly.
