Dental Bridges in Minneapolis, MN

Replace Missing Teeth with a Strong, Natural-Looking Dental Bridge

Missing teeth can make eating, speaking, and smiling difficult, but a dental bridge provides a durable and natural-looking solution to restore your smile. Whether you have one missing tooth or several in a row, a custom dental bridge can fill the gap and bring back both function and confidence.

Custom Dental Bridges for a Strong, Natural-Looking Smile

At Isles Dental, Dr. Robert Springer offers high-quality, custom dental bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Using advanced materials and modern techniques, we create strong, aesthetically pleasing restorations that enhance your oral health and overall well-being.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. It consists of:

• Pontics (Artificial Teeth): Custom-crafted teeth that fill the space left by missing teeth.
• Abutments (Support Teeth): The healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap that hold the bridge in place.

Bridges are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, providing a seamless restoration for a strong, complete smile.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

• Restores Your Smile – Fills in missing spaces for a full, natural appearance.
• Improves Chewing and Speaking – Helps you bite and speak more easily.
• Prevents Teeth from Shifting – Keeps neighboring teeth from moving out of alignment.
• Long-Lasting Solution – With proper care, bridges can last 10–15 years or more.
• Non-Removable & Secure – Unlike dentures, bridges are fixed in place for greater stability.

Bridges offer a dependable and cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth without the need for removable dentures.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

At Isles Dental, we offer several types of dental bridges, depending on your needs:

1. Traditional Dental Bridges

• The most common type of bridge.
• Uses dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth to support the artificial tooth.
• Best for patients with strong, healthy surrounding teeth.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges

• Anchored by dental implants instead of natural teeth.
• Ideal for multiple missing teeth or patients who want to avoid altering healthy teeth.
• Provides exceptional stability and long-term durability.

3. Cantilever Bridges

• Used when there is only one adjacent tooth for support.
• A good option for specific cases, but not recommended for high-pressure areas like molars.

4. Maryland Bonded Bridges

• Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
• A minimally invasive option that doesn’t require reshaping surrounding teeth.

Dr. Springer will assess your oral health and bite alignment to determine the best bridge option for your smile.

The Dental Bridge Process

1. Consultation & Exam

Dr. Springer will evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite to determine if a bridge is the best option.

2. Tooth Preparation & Impressions

For traditional bridges, the supporting teeth are reshaped, and digital impressions are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly.

3. Temporary Bridge Placement

A temporary bridge may be placed while your custom bridge is being made.

4. Final Bridge Placement

Once your permanent bridge is ready, Dr. Springer will secure it in place, make final adjustments, and ensure a perfect fit.

With proper care, your bridge will function just like natural teeth, restoring your ability to eat and smile with confidence.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

To keep your dental bridge strong and long-lasting:

• Brush and floss daily to remove plaque and protect surrounding teeth.
• Use a floss threader or water flosser to clean under the bridge.
• Avoid chewing hard foods (like ice and nuts) that could damage the bridge.
• Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor your oral health.

By following these simple care steps, your bridge can provide years of reliable function and beauty.
