Restore Your Smile with Custom Dental Bridges
Missing teeth can impact how you eat, speak, and smile—but at Palouse View Dental, we offer dependable dental bridges to close those gaps. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, restoring your bite, enhancing your appearance, and preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
Each dental bridge at Palouse View Dental is custom-designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth for a seamless look and comfortable fit. With a personalized bridge, you can enjoy a complete, confident smile once again.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a way to replace a missing tooth. At Palouse View Dental, we provide clients with dental bridges if they want to replace a tooth without wearing dentures or undergoing surgery. The new tooth is held in place by two crowns. It looks natural and consists of a ceramic or porcelain material to match the surrounding teeth. Dr. Menard will make sure that the new tooth looks and feels amazing.
How Dental Bridges Work
At Palouse View Dental, our custom dental bridges use one or more artificial teeth—called pontics—to fill the gaps left by missing teeth. These pontics are securely anchored to the neighboring teeth or supported by dental implants. Each bridge is designed for lasting strength and a natural feel, helping you eat and speak comfortably while keeping surrounding teeth in place and maintaining your facial shape.
Types of Dental Bridges
At Palouse View Dental, we offer several types of dental bridges to meet your individual needs:
- Traditional Bridge: This common option uses crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap to support the replacement tooth. It’s strong, durable, and ideal for patients with healthy teeth on both sides of the missing space.
- Cantilever Bridge: Recommended when only one natural tooth is next to the gap, this bridge anchors the replacement tooth to that single supporting tooth.
- Maryland Bridge: This conservative option uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of the neighboring teeth. It requires minimal alteration to your natural teeth while securely holding the replacement tooth in place.
