What are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to your natural teeth or implants. When you need to replace missing teeth, dental bridges in Manhattan offer a proven solution that restores your ability to bite, chew, and speak confidently.

Your dental bridge consists of false teeth supported by adjacent teeth (called abutments) on either side of the gap created by tooth loss. The result is a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your remaining teeth, helping Manhattan patients regain their confidence.

Our team of experienced dentists can ensure your dental bridge procedure is comfortable, efficient, and stress-free.

Why Choose Dental Bridges?

Missing teeth affect more than just your smile. Without proper dental bridge treatment, your healthy teeth can shift, leading to:

Gum disease and bite problems
Changes in facial appearance and bone structure
Difficulty eating and speaking
Further tooth loss

A fixed bridge prevents these complications while restoring your oral health.

Who Makes a Good Candidate for Dental Bridges?

In short, a good candidate for dental bridges is someone who has one or more missing teeth but still has teeth (or implants) on either side of the gap. These surrounding teeth are crucial for the process because they will serve as anchors for the bridge. We also say candidates should have good overall oral health, with no signs of gum/bone disease or significant tooth decay. We need your gums to be healthy, as they provide the foundation needed for a secure and stable bridge.

Additionally, a good match is someone who finds themself seeking a non-invasive, durable solution for their missing teeth. If you’re experiencing difficulty chewing, changes in your bite, or are self-conscious about your appearance due to missing teeth, a dental bridge is likely the right solution for you. During your consultation at SmileWorks, we will thoroughly evaluate your oral health and discuss your options.

Dental Bridges vs. Dental Implants: Why Choose a Bridge?

When choosing between a dental bridge and a dental implant, several factors come into play. Dental bridges are typically more affordable and quicker to complete, requiring only a few appointments and no surgery, making them ideal for those looking for a faster, non-invasive solution. On the other hand, implants involve a surgical procedure that takes several months to heal, but they offer the added benefit of preventing bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, something bridges don’t do.

Another consideration is the impact on neighboring teeth. Dental bridges require the adjacent teeth to be crowned, which may involve removing some healthy enamel, while implants are independent and don’t affect surrounding teeth. If you have multiple missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge may be a better long-term solution, though traditional bridges are more affordable for smaller gaps. Ultimately, the best option depends on your specific needs, and at SmileWorks, we’re here to help guide you through this important decision.

Types of Dental Bridges Available at Our NYC Practive

There are several types of dental bridges to choose from, depending on your specific needs.

Don’t worry — it’s not up to you to choose the type of bridge going into your mouth. The team at SmileWorks is here to help you make the most educated decision possible when it comes to the type of dental bridge you go with.

Traditional Bridges
Traditional bridges use dental crowns on adjacent teeth to support artificial teeth. This fixed bridge option works best when you have strong natural teeth on both sides of the gap.

Cantilever Bridges
Cantilever bridges anchor to teeth on only one side, making them ideal for back teeth where less chewing force occurs.

Maryland Bridges
Maryland bridges use a porcelain fused to metal framework that bonds to your abutment teeth without requiring dental crowns. These resin bonded bridges preserve more of your natural teeth structure.

Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant supported bridges anchor to dental implants rather than natural teeth, providing the strongest solution to replace multiple teeth without affecting healthy teeth.
