Restoring Smiles and Oral Function with Confidence
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact how you eat, speak and feel day to day. Dental bridges are a long-standing solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Designed to fill the gap with a natural-looking restoration, a dental bridge helps maintain facial shape, preserve alignment and restore your ability to chew and speak properly. Our dentist and team provide customized dental bridges to restore both function and aesthetics.
When a tooth is lost, adjacent teeth may begin to shift into the space, creating bite problems and increasing the risk of further dental complications. A dental bridge consists of one or more prosthetic teeth held in place by dental crowns on neighboring natural teeth or implants. The result is a durable, stable and natural-looking restoration.
At Juniper Dentistry, we use precise digital imaging and advanced materials to create bridges that match the color, shape and size of your natural teeth. The process begins with a comprehensive exam, followed by preparation of the surrounding teeth and digital impressions. Our dentist and team ensure that each restoration is designed for comfort, functionality and a seamless appearance.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer a range of functional and cosmetic benefits, including:
• Restoring a natural-looking smile
• Maintaining proper alignment of remaining teeth
• Improving chewing and speech capabilities
• Preventing bone loss in the jaw where teeth are missing
• Supporting facial structure to avoid sunken features
• Providing a fixed, non-removable solution for tooth loss
Bridges can be made from porcelain, ceramic or metal alloys, and they are custom crafted to suit the patient’s dental and aesthetic needs. With proper care, bridges can last many years and contribute to long-term oral health.
