Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are used to fill gaps left by missing teeth, restoring your smile and preventing potential dental issues. We provide several types of bridges, tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs.
Dental Bridges In Syracuse, NY
Dental Bridges are a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. They close gaps, restore your smile, and improve your ability to chew and speak. Customized to fit your needs, bridges help maintain the natural alignment of your teeth and support overall oral health.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Dental Bridge?
A person is a good candidate for a dental bridge in Syracuse if they experience any of the following issues:
- One or more missing teeth
- Problems chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
- Teeth that are shifting due to gaps
- Jaw pain and other problems caused by an uneven bite from missing teeth
The Dental Bridge Placement Process
Dental bridge treatment is performed over the course of three visits to our Syracuse dental office. During your first visit, we will prepare your teeth for bridge placement by re-contouring the tooth or teeth that surround the gap. If the surrounding tooth or teeth are decayed, we will need to repair them before placing the bridge. Once your teeth are ready, your dentist will then take an impression of your mouth in order to create a bridge that properly fits your bite. While your bridge is being made, we will place a temporary bridge so that your teeth and gums are protected from damage.

Before placing your permanent dental bridge in our Syracuse offices, we will check that the bridge fits you properly and comfortably. Once securely fitted into position, we will use dental cement to bond the bridge into place.
