Dental Bridges in Plano, TX

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations that “bridge” the gap left by one or more missing teeth. A typical bridge includes one or more prosthetic teeth (called pontics) supported by dental crowns on the neighboring teeth (abutments) or by dental implants.

We offer several types of bridges, including:

• Traditional Bridges – Supported by crowns on both sides of the missing tooth.
• Cantilever Bridges – Supported by a single adjacent tooth.
• Maryland Bridges – Bonded to the back of neighboring teeth using a metal or porcelain framework.
• Implant-Supported Bridges – Anchored to dental implants for added strength and longevity.

Each bridge is carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and alignment of your natural teeth for a seamless and functional restoration.

Benefits of Dental Bridges at All Day Smiles Dental

Dental bridges do more than improve appearance—they restore important dental function and preserve oral health. When you choose us for your bridgework, you benefit from:

• Custom-fit restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth
• Prevention of shifting teeth and bite misalignment
• Restored ability to chew and speak clearly
• Improved facial structure by maintaining jaw and lip support
• Same-day crown capabilities in many cases using digital scanning and in-house milling
• Implant-supported options for longer-lasting results without affecting natural teeth

Our bridges are made using high-quality, durable materials such as porcelain fused to metal, zirconia, and all-ceramic, offering strength without sacrificing aesthetics.

Who Is a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges may be ideal for you if:

• You are missing one or more teeth in a row
• You have healthy natural teeth or implants next to the gap
• You want a fixed (non-removable) solution
• You are looking for a faster alternative to implants or full dentures
• You want to restore full chewing function and prevent further dental complications

Not sure if a bridge is right for you? We’ll assess your oral health, bone structure, and personal goals during your consultation to recommend the most appropriate treatment.

How the Dental Bridge Process Works

Step 1: Personalized Consultation
We begin with a full exam and digital imaging to evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite. We’ll explain your options and determine if a traditional or implant-supported bridge is best.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation & Impressions
For traditional bridges, we gently reshape the supporting teeth and take digital or physical impressions. If implants are being used, we’ll coordinate their placement first.

Step 3: Temporary Bridge
While your permanent bridge is being crafted, we’ll place a temporary bridge to protect your teeth and maintain aesthetics.

Step 4: Final Placement
Once your final restoration is ready, we bond or secure it in place. We ensure the fit, bite, and look are perfect—so you leave smiling confidently.
