Missing teeth can affect your oral health, confidence, and daily functions like eating and speaking. At All About Smiles, we provide customized dental bridges to restore both function and aesthetics. Whether you need a fixed or removable bridge, our team ensures a precise fit and natural appearance for a seamless smile.
A dental bridge may be the right solution if you have missing teeth and want to restore your smile’s function, appearance, and stability. You may need a dental bridge if:
A dental bridge is a prosthetic appliance designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) supported by adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. By filling the gap left by missing teeth, a bridge restores balance to your bite, prevents teeth from shifting, and enhances overall functionality.
A well-placed dental bridge provides several key benefits:
At All About Smiles, we offer fixed and removable bridges, each designed to suit different dental needs.
A fixed bridge is permanently affixed to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants to fill in the missing tooth gap. These bridges are custom-made with ceramic teeth, ensuring aesthetic appeal and natural function. Fixed bridges help restore a complete smile, making it easier to chew, speak, and maintain proper bite alignment.
Since fixed bridges rely on the support of neighboring teeth, it is essential that these teeth are healthy and strong before placement. Multiple visits may be required for tooth preparation, impressions, adjustments, and final placement.
For patients with more complex dental needs, a removable bridge (also called a partial or full removable denture) may be recommended. These are crafted from a combination of ceramic and metal, ensuring durability while maintaining a natural look.
Removable bridges are custom-designed using detailed impressions to achieve a secure and precise fit. The framework is shaped to follow the contours of the mouth, offering improved comfort and function. Unlike fixed bridges, removable bridges can be taken out for cleaning and maintenance.
Consultation & Treatment Planning
During your initial visit, our dentist will examine your teeth and gums, discuss your concerns, and determine whether a fixed or removable bridge is the best solution. Digital impressions or molds will be taken to design a bridge that fits seamlessly into your smile.
Tooth Preparation & Temporary Bridge Placement
If you are receiving a fixed bridge, the adjacent teeth will be reshaped to accommodate supporting crowns. A temporary bridge will be placed to protect the prepared teeth while your custom bridge is being fabricated in a dental lab.
Bridge Placement & Adjustments
Once your permanent bridge is ready, we will carefully fit and adjust it to ensure a comfortable and natural bite. For removable bridges, multiple fittings may be required to achieve the best stability and function.
Follow-Up Care & Maintenance
After placement, we will make final adjustments and provide detailed care instructions to ensure your bridge remains in excellent condition. Regular dental checkups will help monitor its fit and function, ensuring long-term success.

With proper care, a fixed dental bridge can last 10-15 years or longer. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups help maintain its durability. Avoiding hard or sticky foods can also extend the lifespan of your bridge.
The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, ensuring little to no discomfort. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or soreness, which typically subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief can help if needed.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing under the bridge, and using an antibacterial mouthwash. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings help ensure your bridge stays in good condition and prevent any underlying issues.
A properly fitted dental bridge allows you to chew and speak comfortably. However, it’s best to avoid hard, sticky, or excessively chewy foods to prevent damage. Gradually reintroducing harder foods helps you adjust to eating with your new bridge.
The best option depends on your oral health, jawbone condition, and personal preference. Bridges are non-surgical and quicker to place, while implants provide a long-term, independent solution without relying on adjacent teeth for support. Your dentist can help determine the best choice for you.
