What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a restoration that “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It’s anchored in place using the natural teeth (or crowns) on either side of the gap, with a lifelike replacement tooth or teeth in between.

At Stauffer Dental Associates, our dental bridges are made from strong, tooth-colored materials that look and feel natural, giving you back your confidence and your bite.

When Is a Bridge the Right Option?

Dr. Stauffer may recommend a bridge if you:

  • Are missing one or more teeth in a row

  • Want a non-removable option that’s more affordable than implants

  • Prefer a quicker solution to restore your smile

  • Need to prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment

Every patient is different, and we’ll help you decide if a dental bridge is your best path forward.

What to Expect with a Dental Bridge

Getting a bridge at Stauffer Dental Associates is a straightforward process:

  1. Consultation & Prep: We evaluate your needs and prepare the anchoring teeth (or place crowns if needed).

  2. Impressions: We take precise impressions to create your custom-fit bridge.

  3. Placement: Once your bridge is ready, we fit and secure it, making any adjustments for comfort and bite.

We take pride in making the process comfortable, efficient, and tailored to your goals.

How to Care for Your Bridge

To keep your bridge strong and your mouth healthy:

  • Brush and floss around the bridge daily (we’ll show you how)

  • Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the bridge

  • Visit Stauffer Dental Associates for routine exams and cleanings

With good care, a bridge can last 10+ years—and keep your smile looking and functioning beautifully.
