What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the natural teeth or crowns on either side of the gap. At Majestic Dental, bridges restore function and appearance seamlessly.

When is a bridge recommended over other options?

Bridges are a great solution if you’re missing teeth but still have healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Dr. Lear and Dr. Sanford will review your options, which may include implants, and recommend the best fit for your needs.

How long does a dental bridge last?

With proper care, dental bridges can last 10–15 years or longer. At Majestic Dental, we emphasize preventive care and regular checkups to keep your bridge strong and your supporting teeth healthy.

Do dental bridges look natural?

Yes. Our bridges are crafted from high-quality materials that match the shape and color of your natural teeth. Patients in Cottleville appreciate how bridges blend seamlessly into their smile while restoring full function.

How do I take care of a dental bridge?

Daily brushing, flossing with special tools, and regular dental visits are essential to maintain your bridge. The team at Majestic Dental will show you how to clean around your bridge to protect your gums and supporting teeth.

Missing teeth can have a profound impact on your smile, facial appearance, bite, and overall oral health. Dental bridges provide an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution to fill the gaps and restore your smile.

What are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, held in place by dental crowns cemented onto the adjacent teeth or implants. The bridge spans the gap where teeth are missing, restoring functionality and appearance.

Types of Dental Bridges

Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type, made of porcelain fused to ceramics or metals.
Cantilever Bridges: Used when adjacent teeth are present on only one side of the gap.
Maryland Bonded Bridges: Supported by a metal or porcelain framework.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Anchored to dental implants, offering higher stability.

Why Choose a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge offers multiple benefits:

Aesthetic Improvement: Enhances the appearance of your smile.
Functional Restoration: Allows you to chew and speak normally.
Prevention of Misalignment: Keeps surrounding teeth from drifting out of position.
Facial Structure Support: Helps maintain the natural shape of your face.
Alleviating Bite Stress: Distributes bite force evenly across teeth.

The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge at Majestic Dental

Consultation and Examination: Our team will assess your dental health and determine the best type of bridge for you.
Preparation: Adjacent teeth are reshaped to accommodate the crowns.
Impressions and Temporary Bridge: Impressions are taken for the custom bridge, and a temporary bridge is placed.
Creation of the Bridge: Your bridge is crafted in a lab using materials like porcelain, gold, or alloys.
Placement and Adjustment: The temporary bridge is removed, and the permanent bridge is fitted and adjusted as necessary.
Follow-up Care: Regular check-ups ensure the bridge is functioning correctly.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

With proper care, dental bridges can last over a decade. Care includes:

Regular Cleaning: Brushing and flossing to keep the bridge and surrounding teeth clean.
Professional Check-ups: Regular visits to Majestic Dental for professional cleaning and examination.
Avoiding Hard Foods: Being mindful of chewing habits to avoid damaging the bridge.

Are Dental Bridges Right for You?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a previous dental office for probably 40 years and we lost confidence in them. So we came here because of Brandy, who we had grown accustomed to. It seems like a nice place and a place filled with experienced staff. We will be returning. We are very pleased at this point. Also a shout out to Malissa. Great job and thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jess, my dental hygienist, is amazing! She recommended a laser treatment that immediately relieved the intense cold sensitivity I’d been dealing with for years. I’m so thankful for her recommendation and to be able to chew on that side of my mouth again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Sanford is great, easy to talk to and explains everything very well. Their staff has been so nice and friendly, easy to work with and they do a great job following up on any open issues.

One big plus is the office can make new crowns the same day. No more installing temporary crowns and having to come back on another day to get the new ones put in. Had to use this service twice! Both times it went great and the new crowns were ready to be put in place within an hour or so.  Amazing!
