Dr. Rita George of Southwest Dental Center provides dental bridges to replace one or more missing teeth to restore function and aesthetics.
Dr. Stuaffer crafts natural-looking, durable bridges customized to your smile.
The bridge process involves preparing adjacent teeth and securely placing a custom-made bridge.
Aftercare is important for the success of dental bridges, including brushing and flossing daily and regular dental check-ups.
A dental bridge is a restoration that “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It’s anchored in place using the natural teeth (or crowns) on either side of the gap, with a lifelike replacement tooth or teeth in between.
At Southwest Dental Center, our dental bridges are made from strong, tooth-colored materials that look and feel natural, giving you back your confidence and your bite.
Dr. Rita George may recommend a bridge if you:
Are missing one or more teeth in a row
Want a non-removable option that’s more affordable than implants
Prefer a quicker solution to restore your smile
Need to prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment
Every patient is different, and we’ll help you decide if a dental bridge is your best path forward.
Getting a bridge at Southwest Dental Center is a straightforward process:
Consultation & Prep: We evaluate your needs and prepare the anchoring teeth (or place crowns if needed).
Impressions: We take precise impressions to create your custom-fit bridge.
Placement: Once your bridge is ready, we fit and secure it, making any adjustments for comfort and bite.
We take pride in making the process comfortable, efficient, and tailored to your goals.
To keep your bridge strong and your mouth healthy:
Brush and floss around the bridge daily (we’ll show you how)
Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the bridge
