Restore Missing Teeth with Custom Dental Bridges

At Carlson Family Dentistry & Implants, we offer high-quality dental bridges in Littleton, CO to replace missing teeth and restore your smile’s function and appearance. If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can provide a seamless and durable solution, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Our custom bridges are designed to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth, ensuring a comfortable and aesthetic restoration.

When Do You Need a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge may be recommended in the following situations:

Missing One or More Teeth – Bridges fill gaps where teeth have been lost due to injury, decay, or extraction.
Difficulty Chewing or Speaking – Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat and pronounce words correctly.
Shifting Teeth – A gap in your smile can cause surrounding teeth to shift out of place, leading to bite misalignment.
Jawbone Deterioration Prevention – While bridges do not replace tooth roots like dental implants, they help maintain proper facial structure.

If you’re unsure whether a bridge is right for you, our team will assess your oral health and recommend the most effective tooth replacement option.

What to Expect During the Dental Bridge Procedure

Getting a dental bridge in Littleton typically involves two appointments:

Tooth Preparation & Impressions: If your bridge is supported by crowns, the adjacent teeth will be reshaped to accommodate them. We will then take digital impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fitted bridge. If you are opting for an implant-supported bridge, the process will begin with placing dental implants in the missing tooth area.
Temporary Bridge Placement: While your permanent bridge is being fabricated, a temporary bridge is placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums.
Permanent Bridge Placement: Once your custom bridge is ready, we remove the temporary bridge, check the fit, and secure it in place. The final result is a durable, natural-looking restoration that restores your bite and enhances your smile.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

At Carlson Family Dentistry & Implants, we offer several types of dental bridges to suit different needs:

Traditional Bridges – The most common type, anchored by dental crowns on the surrounding teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges – Secured using dental implants instead of natural teeth for added stability.
Cantilever Bridges – Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support.
Maryland Bonded Bridges – Attached using a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.

We will help you determine the best bridge type based on your oral health, the location of missing teeth, and your long-term goals.
