If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge is a reliable way to restore your smile. At 32 Dental Care in Elk Grove Village, we design bridges that look natural, feel comfortable, and help you chew and speak with confidence again.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A bridge literally “bridges” the gap where a tooth is missing. It’s made up of:
- One or more replacement teeth (called pontics)
- Anchoring crowns are placed on the natural teeth or implants on either side
Once placed, your bridge restores function and appearance while keeping surrounding teeth from shifting.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
- Traditional Bridges – Anchored by healthy teeth on both sides
- Implant-Supported Bridges – Attached to dental implants for added strength
- Cantilever Bridges – Used when there’s only one anchor tooth
- Maryland Bridges – Use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth
We’ll help you choose the right bridge based on your dental health, goals, and budget.
Why Choose a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges offer:
- A natural look that blends with your smile
- Improved chewing and speech
- Prevention of nearby teeth shifting
- A more balanced bite
- Confidence in your appearance
What to Expect
Getting a dental bridge usually takes two appointments:
- 1. We prepare the surrounding teeth and take precise impressions
- 2. A temporary bridge is placed while your custom bridge is made
- 3. On your second visit, your permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented
The result is a strong, beautiful smile you can count on every day.
