Bridge the Gap in Your Smile

Dental bridges are a proven way to replace missing teeth and restore a healthy, confident smile. By anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth or implants on either side, a bridge fills the empty space and reestablishes balance in your bite. At Smiles of Fulshear, we create custom bridges that look natural, feel comfortable, and provide lasting strength. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, this solution can help you regain the ability to chew, speak, and smile with ease.

What Are Dental Bridges? A Reliable Fix for Missing Teeth

Dental bridges are restorations designed to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. They consist of a prosthetic tooth, called a pontic, which is supported by crowns on the adjacent teeth or by dental implants. This combination creates a stable restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.

Unlike removable partial dentures, bridges are fixed in place, making them feel more secure and natural. Dr. Tan Ngo uses advanced materials and techniques to craft bridges that mimic the look of real teeth while restoring function to your bite. Patients appreciate that the process is straightforward and typically requires only a few visits.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Replacing missing teeth with a bridge offers more than cosmetic improvement. Bridges protect your oral health by preventing surrounding teeth from drifting and reducing uneven stress on your bite. They also help restore facial symmetry and confidence. Modern bridges are crafted with durable materials that can withstand everyday chewing, making them a long-term solution for many patients.

  • Restore chewing and speaking ability with a stable restoration
  • Prevent shifting of surrounding teeth into empty spaces
  • Support facial structure and maintain a youthful appearance
  • Blend seamlessly with natural teeth for an attractive smile
  • Offer lasting durability with proper care and maintenance
  • Initial Consultation
    Dr. Ngo will examine your teeth and gums, take X-rays, and discuss whether a bridge is the best option for replacing your missing teeth.
  • Tooth Preparation
    The teeth adjacent to the gap are reshaped to serve as anchors. Impressions are taken to create a model for your custom bridge.
  • Temporary Bridge
    A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth and gums while the permanent restoration is being made in the lab.
  • Final Placement
    Once ready, your permanent bridge is adjusted for comfort, cemented securely, and polished to match your surrounding teeth.
  • Ongoing Care
    We’ll provide instructions for cleaning around and beneath your bridge to keep it in excellent condition for years to come.

The Dental Bridge Process

Getting a dental bridge is a simple process that can transform your smile in just a few visits. After preparing the surrounding teeth and creating your custom bridge, we’ll ensure it fits securely and feels natural. With proper care, a bridge can provide reliable function and an attractive appearance for many years.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

Although bridges are strong and durable, proper care is important to extend their life. Cleaning around and beneath the bridge is essential to prevent decay or gum disease in the supporting teeth. Daily flossing with special threaders, brushing twice a day, and attending professional cleanings will help maintain the health of your restoration.

  • Brush and floss daily with attention to the bridge area
  • Use floss threaders or water flossers to clean underneath
  • Limit sticky foods that may loosen the bridge over time
  • Visit regularly so Dr. Ngo can monitor your restoration
