Dental Bridges in San Antonio

If you are missing one or more teeth between healthy adjacent teeth, a dental bridge may be the perfect solution to restore function, appearance, and oral health. At CareDental, our experienced dentists in San Antonio provides high-quality bridges designed to replace missing teeth and give you a natural, confident smile.

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that uses neighboring healthy teeth to support artificial teeth (pontics). Bridges fill the gap created by missing teeth, preventing other teeth from shifting out of place and helping you maintain a stable, functional bite.

Missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to drift into the empty space, affecting:

• Bite alignment 
• Chewing efficiency 
• Jaw comfort 
• Overall oral health 

A dental bridge prevents these issues and improves both aesthetics and function.

Dental bridges can help if you have:

• A missing tooth or multiple missing teeth 
• Shifting or drifting teeth 
• Difficulty chewing due to gaps 
• Changes in bite alignment 
• Loss of confidence from visible spaces in your smile 

A properly placed bridge also helps maintain gum health by preventing gum recession in the area of the missing tooth.

After evaluating your teeth and gums, our cosmetic dentist in San Antonio will recommend the best bridge type for your case:

1. Traditional Dental Bridge

The most common type. Uses crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the gap.

2. Maryland Bridge

A conservative option using a bonded framework instead of dental crowns.

3. Cantilever Bridge

Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support.

Each option offers unique benefits, and your dentist will help determine which bridge best fits your needs, budget, and long-term goals.

1. Initial Examination
   We evaluate your oral health and discuss the best bridge type for you.
2. Tooth Preparation
   Adjacent teeth may be reshaped to support the bridge (for traditional bridges).
3. Impressions
   Precise impressions are taken to create a custom-fit bridge.
4. Temporary Bridge
   A temporary bridge is placed while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
5. Final Placement
   Your custom dental bridge is bonded securely for a natural, comfortable fit.

Dental bridges require consistent home care and routine dental visits to remain strong and healthy. To maintain your bridge:

• Clean underneath the bridge daily 
• Floss carefully around supporting teeth 
• Brush twice daily 
• Visit your dentist for regular checkups 

Proper care helps prevent decay under the bridge and keeps the supporting teeth healthy.
