Who Is a Candidate?

You may benefit from a bridge or denture if you:

  • Are looking for a budget-friendly tooth replacement option

Our team will assess your oral health, jaw structure, and personal goals before recommending a tailored treatment plan.

What Are Dental Bridges and Dentures?

Dental Bridges are fixed restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They anchor to the adjacent teeth or implants and “bridge the gap” with a natural-looking prosthetic tooth (or teeth).

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used when multiple or all teeth are missing. Depending on your needs, we offer:

  • Full Dentures for complete tooth loss

  • Partial Dentures for a few missing teeth

  • Implant-Supported Dentures for extra security and function

Our Process for Restoring Your Smile

1. Initial Consultation

We evaluate your oral health, take digital impressions, and explore your tooth replacement options.

2. Custom Treatment Plan

We help you choose between bridges, full/partial dentures, or implant-supported options depending on your condition and preferences.

3. Preparation and Fabrication

We prepare your surrounding teeth (for bridges) or take detailed impressions (for dentures) and send them to a top dental lab.

4. Placement and Fitting

Your bridge or denture is carefully adjusted for comfort, function, and appearance. We ensure your bite and speech feel natural.

5. Follow-Up Care

We schedule check-ins to monitor your adjustment and make any refinements needed for long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bridges & Dentures

How long do bridges and dentures last?

With proper care, bridges typically last 10–15 years, while dentures can last 5–10 years before needing adjustments or replacement.

Are bridges or dentures better?

It depends on how many teeth you’re missing and your oral health. Bridges are ideal for small gaps, while dentures work well for larger areas or full arches.

Do they feel like natural teeth?

Modern bridges and dentures are designed to feel natural. While there may be a short adjustment period, most patients find them comfortable and functional.

Can I sleep with dentures in?

We recommend removing dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and to properly clean the appliance.
