Dental Bridges: A Versatile Solution
Bridges are a versatile solution offered at our clinic to replace one or multiple missing teeth and restore a full smile. Whether due to injury, decay, or other reasons, dental bridges provide a durable and natural-looking solution. By preventing teeth from shifting and maintaining proper alignment, they not only enhance oral health but also promote a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Crafted with precision, dental bridges consist of artificial teeth anchored between natural teeth, known as abutment teeth, with porcelain pontics for a seamless blend. Unlike dental implants, which require surgery, dental bridges utilize neighboring teeth for support, offering a non-invasive alternative for patients seeking efficient tooth replacement solutions.

Who benefits?
Ideal candidates for dental bridges include those with one or more missing teeth who are in good oral health. During treatment, Dr. John ensures a comfortable experience by applying numbing anesthetic and meticulously contouring neighboring teeth for a secure fit. Temporary bridges are provided while permanent ones are customized, ensuring a smooth transition and optimal comfort. Our collaborative team approach, including specialists like Dr. James Linkous and Dr. Ari Koutsoubis ensures that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and health goals.
