At Liberty Dental Care PC by Park One Dental, we believe every restoration should do more than simply fill a space — it should restore full function, confidence, and aesthetics. Fixed dental bridges are one of the most reliable ways to replace missing teeth, helping patients regain natural chewing ability and a seamless smile. By securely anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) between adjacent crowns, a bridge “bridges the gap” created by missing teeth while maintaining the stability of your bite.
Our team uses high-quality materials and precise techniques to ensure every bridge blends beautifully with surrounding teeth and feels completely natural. Each restoration is custom-crafted for your mouth’s unique contours and designed to last with proper care.
A fixed bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) supported by crowns placed on the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. Once bonded in place, the bridge becomes a single, continuous unit that restores both the look and the function of missing teeth. Unlike removable partial dentures, bridges remain securely in place — offering lasting comfort and stability.
Bridges can be made from several materials, including porcelain fused to metal, all-ceramic, or zirconia, depending on the location of the missing tooth and aesthetic preferences. Our clinicians carefully match the shade, shape, and translucency of your bridge to surrounding teeth for a natural, lifelike appearance.
Replacing a missing tooth isn’t only about appearance — it’s about preserving oral health and balance. A missing tooth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, alter bite alignment, and place excess strain on the jaw. Fixed bridges help prevent these changes by maintaining spacing, restoring even bite forces, and supporting facial structure.
Patients often notice immediate improvements in their ability to chew and speak, along with the renewed confidence that comes from a complete smile. Bridges are durable, comfortable, and, with good hygiene, can last for many years.
Getting a bridge typically involves two to three visits.
During the first visit, the supporting teeth are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crowns. Impressions or digital scans are then taken to design the bridge with exact precision. A temporary bridge is placed to protect the area while your permanent restoration is being fabricated.
Once the final bridge is ready, it’s carefully checked for fit, color, and comfort before being permanently cemented. Our team ensures your bite feels balanced and that the bridge integrates harmoniously with the rest of your smile.
Caring for a bridge is similar to caring for your natural teeth — regular brushing, flossing (with specialized floss threaders or interdental brushes), and routine dental cleanings help keep the area healthy. With proper care, a fixed bridge can last a decade or longer.
Our clinicians will show you the best techniques to clean around your bridge and protect the supporting teeth and gums. Periodic evaluations ensure the bridge remains secure and functional for years to come.
At Liberty Dental Care PC, we approach every restorative case with precision and attention to detail. Fixed bridges not only restore missing teeth but also help you regain confidence in your smile and oral function. Whether replacing a single tooth or multiple adjacent teeth, our goal is to create a restoration that feels as natural as it looks.
