Dental Bridges

Restore Your Smile by Replacing Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can impact your ability to chew, speak clearly, and maintain proper oral alignment. At Cura Dental, we offer dental bridges as a reliable, natural-looking solution to replace one or more missing teeth and restore the full function of your smile.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a custom restoration that literally “bridges the gap” left by missing teeth. It consists of one or more prosthetic teeth (called pontics) that are held in place by crowns anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap—or to dental implants.

Bridges restore your bite, prevent shifting of adjacent teeth, and bring back the aesthetics and confidence of a full smile.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

  • Traditional Bridge: Anchored to natural teeth with crowns on both sides of the gap.

  • Implant-Supported Bridge: Secured to dental implants instead of adjacent teeth—ideal for multiple missing teeth.

  • Cantilever Bridge: Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support (less common).

  • Maryland Bridge: Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth (usually for front teeth).

Dr. Eddie Rosario will help you choose the best type of bridge based on your oral health, number of missing teeth, and long-term goals.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

  • Restore your ability to chew and speak naturally

  • Prevent teeth from shifting out of alignment

  • Maintain facial shape and jaw support

  • Improve your smile’s appearance

  • Long-lasting and highly functional

The Dental Bridge Process

  1. Consultation & Planning: We examine your teeth, take digital scans or impressions, and review your bridge options.

  2. Tooth Preparation (if needed): The adjacent teeth are reshaped for crowns to hold the bridge in place.

  3. Temporary Bridge: A temporary is placed while your custom bridge is being made.

  4. Placement: Your permanent bridge is bonded or secured, adjusted for comfort, and polished to match your natural teeth.

How Long Do Bridges Last?

With proper care, dental bridges can last 10–15 years or more. Good oral hygiene, regular cleanings, and avoiding chewing on very hard objects will help maximize their lifespan.
