Dental Bridges in Long Beach, CA

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth.

It fills the space left by missing teeth and is supported by neighboring teeth or other appropriate dental structures.

A dental bridge may help:

• Restore your ability to chew comfortably
• Improve the appearance of your smile
• Support proper bite alignment
• Prevent nearby teeth from shifting
• Restore confidence when speaking and smiling

Our Long Beach dental team will evaluate your smile and determine whether a bridge is an appropriate option for you.

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

Even a single missing tooth can affect more than appearance.

When a tooth is lost, nearby teeth may begin to shift into the empty space. This can affect your bite, make certain areas harder to clean, and place additional stress on surrounding teeth.

Replacing missing teeth can help restore balance to your smile and support your long-term oral health.

Natural-Looking Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are designed to restore function while blending naturally with your surrounding teeth.

When planning your restoration, we consider:

• Tooth color
• Tooth shape and size
• Bite alignment
• Location of the missing tooth
• Condition of neighboring teeth
• Overall smile appearance

Our goal is to create a restoration that feels comfortable and complements your natural smile.

What to Expect With a Dental Bridge

Treatment begins with a dental examination and evaluation of the area where teeth are missing.

If a bridge is recommended, your treatment may include:

• Preparing the supporting teeth
• Taking impressions or digital records
• Selecting the appropriate shade
• Creating a custom dental bridge
• Checking the fit and bite
• Securing the final restoration

Our team will explain each step and answer your questions before treatment begins.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

Good oral hygiene is important for maintaining the health of your dental bridge and the teeth that support it.

We may recommend:

• Brushing twice daily
• Flossing around and underneath the bridge
• Using recommended cleaning tools
• Attending routine dental exams and cleanings
• Avoiding very hard foods or objects
• Contacting our office if the bridge feels loose or uncomfortable

Routine preventive care can help protect both your restoration and the surrounding teeth.

Dental Bridges vs. Other Tooth Replacement Options

A dental bridge is one way to replace missing teeth, but it is not the only option.

Depending on your needs, our team may also discuss:

• Partial dentures
• Full dentures
• Other restorative treatment options

The right choice depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of your remaining teeth, your oral health, and your personal preferences.
