Dental Bridges in Mooresville, NC – Restore Your Smile with Confidence

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) between two crowns or implants. It “bridges” the gap in your smile and is securely bonded in place for lasting function.

We offer several types of dental bridges:

• Traditional bridges (anchored to adjacent natural teeth)
  
• Implant-supported bridges (attached to dental implants for greater stability)
  
• Cantilever bridges (supported on one side when adjacent teeth are limited)
  
• Maryland bridges (less invasive, using resin wings to bond to adjacent teeth)
  

Bridges are a strong, non-removable alternative to partial dentures and a more affordable option than some dental implants.

Who Needs a Dental Bridge?

You may be a good candidate for a bridge if:

• You’re missing one or more teeth in a row
  
• Your adjacent teeth are healthy enough to support a bridge
  
• You want a fixed solution instead of removable appliances
  
• You’re looking for a budget-friendly alternative to implants
  

Left untreated, missing teeth can lead to shifting, bone loss, difficulty chewing, and strain on your jaw — all of which a bridge helps prevent.

Our Dental Bridge Process

Step 1: Consultation & Evaluation

We start with an exam and digital X-rays or 3D scans to evaluate your oral health. If you're also considering implants or veneers as part of a broader treatment plan, we’ll review all options.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

For traditional bridges, we gently reshape the neighboring teeth to support crowns. We then take precise impressions to fabricate your custom bridge.

Step 3: Temporary Bridge Placement

While your permanent bridge is being crafted by our trusted dental lab, a temporary bridge is placed for comfort and function.

Step 4: Final Placement

We bond your permanent bridge into place and ensure proper fit, alignment, and appearance. The result is a natural-looking, secure smile that restores function instantly.

How to Care for Your Bridge

With good daily hygiene and routine preventive care, dental bridges can last well over a decade.

Tips for bridge maintenance:

• Brush and floss daily (including under the bridge using floss threaders or water flossers)
  
• Avoid chewing ice or extremely hard foods
  
• Visit us for professional cleanings every six months
  
• Ask about nightguards if you grind your teeth
