At Star Dental, dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth and restore balance to your bite.
Gaps left by missing teeth can affect how you chew, speak, and maintain proper alignment. Over time, nearby teeth may begin to shift, which can lead to further changes in your bite.
A dental bridge fills these spaces and helps support everyday function.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by securing an artificial tooth in place using surrounding natural teeth or dental implants.
Each bridge is designed to fit your bite and align with your existing teeth so it functions consistently during daily use.
In addition to replacing missing teeth, bridges help support bite stability and distribute pressure more evenly across your teeth.
You may benefit from a dental bridge if you:
A thorough evaluation allows our team to determine whether a bridge is appropriate and to discuss alternative options if needed.
Getting a dental bridge typically involves two appointments.
At your first visit, the teeth that will support the bridge are prepared, and impressions or digital scans are taken to create a restoration that fits your bite. A temporary bridge is placed to protect the area while your final bridge is being made.
At your second visit, the bridge is placed and adjusted for fit and alignment before being secured.
With consistent oral hygiene and routine dental visits, a dental bridge can provide you with long-term function.
Our team will show you how to care for your bridge effectively and provide guidance during your regular visits to help keep everything stable over time.
From preparation to final placement, each step is explained clearly so you understand how your bridge is being designed and fitted. Appointments are structured to ensure your bridge aligns properly with your bite and feels stable during everyday use.
Our focus is on creating a restoration that functions consistently and integrates smoothly with your existing teeth.
