What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighboring teeth or dental implants. Bridges are often chosen by patients who are not candidates for implants or prefer a non-surgical option. With proper care, a dental bridge can provide many years of reliable function and a natural appearance.

Q: How long does a fixed dental bridge last in Melissa, TX?
With proper oral hygiene, daily flossing under the bridge with a threader or water flosser, and routine dental cleanings every six months, a high-quality porcelain or zirconia dental bridge typically lasts between 10 to 15+ years.
Q: What is the main difference between a dental bridge and a dental implant?
A dental implant replaces a single missing tooth root and crown without altering neighboring teeth. A dental bridge uses adjacent natural teeth as crowned anchors to hold the replacement tooth in place. Dr. Byung Kim evaluates your bone density and adjacent teeth to recommend the best fit.
Q: Does getting a dental bridge hurt?
No. Before shaping the anchor teeth or taking digital impressions, Dr. Byung Kim thoroughly numbs the treatment area with local anesthesia, ensuring your appointment is completely painless and comfortable.
