Dental Bridges in Meridian, ID

Restore Your Smile with Custom Dental Bridges

Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can impact your bite, speech, and overall oral health. At Aesthetic Smiles in Meridian, ID, we offer dental bridges as a reliable, natural-looking solution to replace one or more missing teeth. Our restorations are crafted with precision to blend seamlessly with your smile and restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably.

Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or multiple adjacent teeth, dental bridges are an excellent option for long-lasting function and aesthetics without the need for surgery.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that fills the gap created by missing teeth. It is anchored by adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants and consists of:

• One or more artificial teeth (pontics) to replace missing ones
• Abutment crowns on neighboring teeth or implants to hold the bridge securely in place

Bridges can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia to match your natural teeth, providing both structural stability and cosmetic harmony.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

At Aesthetic Smiles, the process of getting a bridge is efficient and patient-centered. Here’s what to expect:

1. Initial Exam & Consultation: We evaluate your smile, take digital X-rays, and determine whether a bridge or alternative option is best.
2. Tooth Preparation: If using adjacent teeth, we prepare them by reshaping the enamel to place crowns.
3. Digital Impressions: Using intraoral technology, we capture precise 3D images to fabricate your custom bridge.
4. Temporary Bridge: While your final restoration is being crafted, we place a temporary to protect your teeth.
5. Final Placement: Once ready, your permanent bridge is bonded and adjusted for fit, bite, and aesthetics.

We also offer sedation dentistry for patients who feel nervous or sensitive about dental procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bridges

How long do dental bridges last?

With proper care, dental bridges can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Daily brushing, flossing, and routine checkups are essential to their longevity.

Do bridges look natural?

Yes. At Aesthetic Smiles, we customize each bridge to match the color, shape, and alignment of your existing teeth. Our lab-crafted restorations are virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.

Are dental bridges better than dentures?

Bridges are fixed in place and offer greater stability than removable dentures. They are ideal when you have healthy teeth or implants adjacent to the gap.

Will I need an implant to get a bridge?

Not always. If your adjacent natural teeth are healthy, we can use them as anchors. However, in cases where implants offer more support, we can explore implant-supported bridges.

Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?

Yes. Once your bridge is placed and adjusted, you’ll be able to eat, chew, and speak with confidence and comfort.
