Porcelain Dental Bridges

in South Texas

a great way to replace missing teeth

Missing teeth? A custom dental bridge can restore both the look and function of your smile. We design bridges that blend in so well, most people can’t tell they’re not your natural teeth.

As the name suggests, this treatment “bridges” the gap left in your mouth by a missing tooth. With this procedure, the bridge is held in place by the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile.

Dental bridges are fixed in place and considered by many to be a better alternative to removable partial dentures. We’ll help you decide if this treatment is right for you.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It uses crowns on neighboring teeth to support a false tooth (or teeth) in the gap, restoring your bite and appearance.

How long do dental bridges last?

With proper care and good bite alignment, a dental bridge can last 10 to 15 years or more. At Orchard Dental Associates, we focus on both function and fit to make sure your bridge holds up for the long run.

Is getting a dental bridge painful?

Not at our office. We use advanced laser technology, gentle techniques, and digital scans instead of traditional impressions to make the process more comfortable. Many patients don’t even require anesthesia during prep.

What are the benefits of a dental bridge?

Dental bridges restore your ability to chew, speak clearly, and maintain the shape of your face. They also prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap left by a missing tooth.

Can a bridge look natural?

Absolutely. Dr. Orchard’s artistic background ensures that every bridge is carefully designed to match your natural teeth in shape, color, and function. The result blends in beautifully with your smile.

How is a dental bridge different from an implant?

A bridge is supported by surrounding teeth, while an implant is anchored directly into the jawbone. Bridges are a great option when implants aren’t ideal or when quicker results are needed.
