Dental Bridges
Missing a tooth (or a few)? You’re not alone, and luckily, you have options. At O’Shea Family Dental, we offer custom dental bridges that restore your smile, bite, and confidence. A bridge is more than just a replacement. It’s a permanent, natural-looking solution that helps you chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile without hesitation.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap left behind, using the surrounding teeth or dental implants for support.
A traditional bridge includes:
- Crown(s) for the teeth on either side of the gap (called abutment teeth)
- Artificial tooth/teeth in the middle (called pontics), which fill the space left by the missing tooth or teeth
We custom-create each bridge to fit your bite and blend in with your natural smile. The result? A restoration that looks and feels like your own teeth.
Why Replace a Missing Tooth?
Even one missing tooth can lead to shifting teeth, bite changes, jaw stress, and difficulties with eating and speaking. A dental bridge helps:
- Restore chewing function
- Prevent other teeth from shifting
- Maintain your facial shape
- Improve your speech
- Restore the look of a full, natural smile
Replacing a missing tooth isn’t just cosmetic. It’s a key part of protecting your long-term oral health.

What to Expect
Getting a bridge typically involves two to three visits:
Preparation: We reshape the surrounding teeth to support crowns, take impressions, and place a temporary bridge. Fabrication: Your custom bridge is crafted in a lab to match your tooth color and bite.
Final Placement: We fit and bond the permanent bridge into place and make any needed adjustments for comfort and function.
Once your bridge is placed, you can treat it just like your natural teeth—brush, floss (with a little extra technique), and keep up with regular dental visits.
Is a Bridge Right for You?
Dental bridges are a great option if:
- You’re missing one or more teeth
- The surrounding teeth are healthy enough to support the bridge
- You want a non-removable, long-term solution
- You’re not ready for or don’t want implants
If you’re still unsure of whether a bridge is right for you, we’re here for you. We’ll walk you through all your options and help you choose what fits your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
