Bridges
Have you lost one or more teeth and need a dependable dentist in Bay Ridge to close the gap with a custom bridge? A dental bridge – sometimes called a fixed partial denture – replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth that look, feel, and function like your own. The bridge literally bridges the gap where teeth have been lost, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
The restoration can be crafted from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials, and is securely bonded onto the surrounding teeth for permanent, stable support. Unlike removable dentures, a fixed bridge stays in place and feels just like your natural teeth. It also prevents the remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to bite problems, gum disease, and additional tooth loss over time.
At Bay Ridge Dental Group, we take great care in designing bridges that match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth for a seamless, beautiful result. During your initial consultation, we evaluate your oral health, discuss your options, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs. The process typically involves preparing the supporting teeth, taking precise impressions, and fitting a temporary bridge while your permanent restoration is fabricated. Once your custom bridge is ready, we carefully check the fit and make any adjustments before permanently bonding it in place.
We also offer implant-supported bridges for patients who prefer not to alter their natural teeth, providing even greater stability and preservation of jawbone health. Bay Ridge Dental Group is conveniently located in one of the most scenic neighborhoods of Brooklyn, easily accessible by public transportation and just minutes from the Belt Parkway and Verrazano Bridge.
