Dental Bridges

Fill the Gaps. Restore Your Smile. Regain Your Bite.

Long-lasting dental bridges are one of the few means to restoring smiles, speech, and chewing ability. At Summit Village Dental, we specialize in the fabrication of custom bridges, such that they are synthesized with your current teeth, giving you one less big worry to think about.

Replace one or more missing teeth with strength, stability, and style.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges are fixed prostheses employed to replace one or several missing teeth by suspending artificial teeth from adjacent natural teeth or implants. Therefore, it sits over the space left by the missing tooth, restoring function and aesthetics.

Types of dental bridges are as follows:

  • Traditional Bridge: Crowned on adjacent
  • Maryland Bridge: Metal or porcelain wings from side
  • Implant-Supported Bridge: Supported on dental implants
