Custom Dental Bridges in Rochester, NY to Replace Missing Teeth

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants.

Bridges are commonly used to:

• Fill gaps left by missing teeth
• Restore proper chewing and speaking function
• Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting
• Maintain facial structure and alignment
• Improve the overall appearance of your smile

For patients seeking a permanent alternative, dental implants may also be considered.

The Dental Bridge Process

Getting a dental bridge involves a detailed process to ensure stability, comfort, and long-term success.

Your treatment typically includes:

• A thorough exam & checkup
• Preparation of adjacent teeth to support the bridge
• Digital impressions for precise customization
• Placement of a custom bridge designed for function and aesthetics
• Final adjustments to ensure proper fit and bite

Our advanced technology helps improve accuracy and efficiency throughout the process.
