How long do dental bridges last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a high-quality dental bridge can last 10 to 15 years, or even longer.

Are dental bridges better than implants?

Both are excellent options. A bridge is typically faster to place and does not require surgery, while an implant preserves jawbone health. We will help you choose the best option during your consultation.

Why Choose a Dental Bridge?

A missing tooth can cause surrounding teeth to shift and severely impact your overall oral health. Our expertly crafted bridges provide a highly durable, aesthetic solution for patients in the Lutherville-Timonium area.

Restore Your Smile

Our bridges are custom-matched to the exact color and shape of your existing teeth, making your restoration virtually undetectable.

Prevent Shifting

Filling the empty space prevents your healthy remaining teeth from drifting out of alignment and causing painful bite issues.

Improve Chewing

Regain the structural strength to properly chew your favorite foods and speak clearly without difficulty or discomfort.

Durable Results

Crafted from high-quality porcelain and advanced ceramics, our bridges are designed to withstand daily wear for years to come.

The Bridge Placement Procedure

Consultation & Prep

We evaluate your missing tooth. The adjacent teeth (abutments) are then carefully reshaped to allow room for the bridge to fit securely over them.

Digital Impressions

Using an advanced 3D intraoral scanner, we take a highly precise digital impression of your teeth to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit.

Temporary Bridge

While your permanent bridge is being crafted in our lab, we will place a temporary bridge to protect your exposed teeth and gums.

Final Placement

Once ready, you return to our Lutherville office. We check the fit, make necessary adjustments, and permanently cement your new, natural-looking bridge into place.
