What is a dental bridge? A dental bridge is a fixed
restorative appliance used to replace one or more consecutive
missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (pontic) suspended
between two dental crowns. These crowns are permanently cemented
onto the natural teeth (or implants) adjacent to the gap,
effectively “bridging” the empty space.

Restore Your Complete Smile

Missing teeth do more than affect your confidence—they make
chewing difficult, impair speech, and cause surrounding teeth to
shift out of alignment. At Garden City Family Dentistry, we
provide custom dental bridges to solve these problems.

Our experienced dentists use modern materials to create bridges
that look natural and fit comfortably. By anchoring artificial
teeth securely to your adjacent healthy teeth, a bridge restores
full function to your bite and gives you back a complete,
beautiful smile.

The Dental Bridge Process

1

Evaluation & Planning

We examine the gap and ensure the adjacent teeth are healthy
enough to support a bridge.

2

Tooth Preparation

The abutment teeth (next to the gap) are gently reshaped to
accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge.

3

Impressions

We take precise digital impressions of your teeth to serve
as a model for the dental lab.

4

Temporary Bridge

A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth and gums
while your permanent restoration is crafted.

5

Final Placement

At your next visit, the permanent bridge is checked for fit
and bite alignment, then securely cemented in place.

Frequently Asked Questions


Are bridges removable? +

No, traditional dental bridges are fixed in place. They are
cemented to the abutment teeth or implants and can only be
removed by a dentist.


How long do bridges last? +

With excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a
high-quality dental bridge can last 10 to 15 years, or even
longer.


Can I eat normally with a bridge? +

Yes. Once you have adjusted to your new bridge, it restores
full chewing ability, allowing you to eat a normal, healthy
diet.


Do bridges require special care? +

Yes. While you brush them like natural teeth, you must use
special floss threaders or water flossers to clean underneath
the false tooth (pontic) to prevent gum disease.


Is a bridge better than an implant? +

It depends on your situation. Bridges are faster and don’t
require surgery, but implants don’t require altering adjacent
teeth and prevent bone loss. We will discuss the best option
for you.
