Dental Bridges in Houston, TX

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to “bridge” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by dental crowns on adjacent healthy teeth or supported by implants.

Our Houston dental team crafts each bridge with the highest-quality materials—porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal—to ensure strength, longevity, and aesthetics that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

• Traditional Bridges
  Supported by crowns placed on healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
• Cantilever Bridges
  Used when there is only one adjacent supporting tooth.
• Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridges
  A conservative option that uses metal or porcelain “wings” bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
• Implant-Supported Bridges
  Attached to dental implants instead of natural teeth, providing maximum strength and stability—ideal for multiple missing teeth.

Who Can Benefit from a Dental Bridge?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are missing one or more consecutive teeth
• Have healthy teeth or dental implants adjacent to the missing space
• Want to avoid removable dentures
• Seek a fixed solution that restores both appearance and function
• Have experienced bite changes or shifting due to tooth loss

The Bridge Placement Process

1. Comprehensive Exam
   We evaluate your oral health using digital X-rays and 3D imaging to determine the best bridge solution.
2. Tooth Preparation
   Adjacent teeth are gently shaped to receive supporting crowns, or implants may be placed if needed.
3. Digital Impressions
   We capture precise digital scans using iTero technology—no messy trays involved.
4. Bridge Fabrication
   Your custom bridge is designed for a perfect fit, color, and contour to match your surrounding teeth.
5. Placement & Adjustment
   Once ready, we bond the bridge securely in place and make any necessary refinements for comfort and function.
