Bridges

How Does a Dental Bridge Work?

A dental bridge fills an empty space in your smile using one or more custom replacement teeth. The bridge is fixed to neighboring teeth, which help hold the restoration securely in place.

‍

Many patients appreciate that bridges:

• Look natural
• Restore chewing ability
• Feel stable and comfortable
• Help maintain proper alignment

Who’s a Good Candidate for Dental Bridges?

Every smile is different, which is why Dr. Molina takes time to discuss all available treatment options.

‍

A bridge may be a good choice if you:

• Are missing one or more teeth
• Want a fixed replacement option
• Have healthy neighboring teeth
• Are looking for a proven restorative solution

During your consultation, we'll review your goals and help determine whether a bridge, implant, or another treatment is best suited to your needs.

How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?

A dental bridge is designed to be a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. With proper care, many bridges last 10 to 15 years or longer before needing repair or replacement. The lifespan of a bridge depends on several factors, including the health of the supporting teeth, daily brushing and flossing habits, and regular dental checkups and cleanings.

During your routine visits, our team will monitor your bridge and the supporting teeth to ensure everything continues functioning properly.
