What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made solution that replaces a few missing teeth in a row. A conventional bridge relies on the surrounding teeth for anchorage, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. The dentist uses dental crowns placed over the supporting teeth to create a stable foundation. There is also an option of implant-supported bridges, which provide more stability and comfort.
When you lose teeth, you deserve a solution that looks natural. We create dental bridges with tooth-colored materials, such as porcelain. Once placed, your bridge blends seamlessly with the remaining teeth. The results are so natural that most patients can’t tell the difference between their natural teeth and the bridge.
How do you place dental bridges?
We can place most dental bridges in two appointments.
- First visit: Our dentist will prepare the support teeth and then take precise scans of your tooth and surrounding gums. Then, we send the impressions to our dental lab to custom-create your bridgework. Until your bridge is ready, we will restore your smile with a provisional bridge.
- Second appointment: Once your bridge is shipped to us, you’ll schedule an appointment for placement. We’ll try it on and make a few adjustments until it looks and feels right.
It will take a few days for your mouth to get used to your new bridge. During this time, it can feel slightly bulky or temporarily affect your speech and bite. However, once you adjust, your dental bridge will feel like a natural part of your dentition.
What are the benefits of dental bridges?
Dental bridges in La Grange Park do more than fill gaps. Many of our patients share that they’ve regained parts of their lives they once thought were gone for good.
Here is a closer look at the benefits of dental bridges.
- Natural aesthetics: Our bridges are created from natural-looking materials that blend seamlessly with your smile.
- Renewed oral function: Bridges allow you to eat your favorite foods and speak clearly.
- Durability: Bridges can last up to ten years or more, making them a long-term investment in your smile and confidence.

- Confidence boost: Bridges help bring out the best version of yourself in your personal, social, and professional life.
Are dental bridges removable?
Unlike traditional dentures, dental bridges are not removable. They are fixed and stay in place just like your natural teeth. That means your teeth remain fixed at all times, even when sleeping or cleaning your teeth. If you want a removable option, you can consider a partial denture. Your dentist will help you choose the best solution based on your needs, comfort, and long-term goals.
