Bridges

If you’re missing a tooth, a dental bridge can restore your smile with strength and natural appearance. Bridges use your surrounding teeth as anchors to hold a custom-made replacement tooth in place—seamlessly filling the gap and restoring function.

At Spainhower Dental Care, we carefully prepare the support teeth, take detailed impressions, and provide a temporary bridge while your final restoration is created in a trusted dental lab. Once ready, your permanent bridge is securely bonded in place for a comfortable, lasting fit.

Bridges not only improve your ability to chew and speak, but they also help prevent shifting teeth and maintain your facial structure. Contact us today to find out if a dental bridge is the right solution for your smile.

  • Maryland Bridge
    Held in place with a small metal or porcelain piece bonded to the back of nearby teeth—no crowns needed.
