Dental Bridge in Beverly Hills

Missing teeth can cause pain, shifting, and loss of confidence. At Tooth Doctor LA in Beverly Hills, Dr. Jennifer Bossel offers custom dental bridges designed to restore your smile, improve chewing function, and prevent the long-term complications that come with untreated tooth loss.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth.

Who Is This For?

Dental bridges are ideal for patients with one or more missing teeth who have healthy adjacent teeth to support the bridge. They are a good alternative for patients who are not candidates for dental implants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bridges in Beverly Hills

With proper care, a dental bridge typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene and regular checkups are essential.

The area is numbed during preparation. You may experience some mild sensitivity afterward, which typically fades within a few days.

Brushing twice daily and using floss threaders or a water flosser to clean under the bridge are the most important steps. We will demonstrate proper technique at your appointment.

An implant replaces the tooth root itself, while a bridge uses adjacent teeth for support. Implants are generally considered the gold standard but are not right for every patient.

Many plans cover a portion of the cost. Our team will check your benefits and provide a clear estimate before treatment begins.
