Bridging the Gap for a Beautiful Smile with Dental Bridge

Replace Missing Teeth with Durable, Natural-Looking Dental Bridges

Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance; they can also affect your oral health, speech, and ability to chew. At Infinite Smiles Family Dentistry, near West University Place, Houston we offer high-quality dental bridges designed to seamlessly restore your smile and fill the gaps caused by missing teeth. Our dental bridges are customized to blend with your natural teeth, helping you regain both functionality and confidence.  

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a restorative appliance that fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, which are anchored by dental crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges provide a long-lasting solution to restore both the function and appearance of your smile, helping to maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth and prevent future dental issues.

Types of Dental Bridge

At Infinite Smiles, we offer several types of dental bridges to suit individual needs and preferences:

Traditional Dental Bridges

Traditional bridges are the most common type and are anchored by crowns on the natural teeth on either side of the gap. This type of bridge is ideal when you have healthy teeth on both sides of the missing tooth or teeth.

Cantilever Bridges

Cantilever bridges are used when there is only one adjacent tooth to support the bridge. This option is suitable for specific situations and is typically recommended when there is minimal stress on the bridge.

Maryland Bonded Bridges

Maryland bridges use a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth, requiring less alteration of surrounding teeth. They are often used for front teeth and provide a conservative approach to bridge placement.

Implant-Supported Bridges

For those missing multiple teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a stable and long-lasting solution. This type of bridge is anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth, making it an excellent option for those without sufficient adjacent teeth to support a traditional bridge.
