At Fresh Dental in Tampa, FL, we specialize in creating custom dental bridges that blend perfectly with your natural teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our dental bridges can help you achieve a complete, functional smile once again.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetics designed to “bridge” the gap created by missing teeth. A typical dental bridge consists of:
- Abutment Teeth: These are the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap, which serve as anchors for the bridge.
- Pontics: These are the artificial teeth that fill the gap, crafted to look and feel like your natural teeth.
Dental bridges are an effective solution for restoring the look and functionality of your smile, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment, and improving your quality of life.
Types of Dental Bridges
At Fresh Dental, we offer several types of dental bridges to meet your unique needs:
- Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type, consisting of one or more pontics anchored by crowns on the abutment teeth.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used when only one abutment tooth is available.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: These bridges are anchored by dental implants rather than natural teeth, offering enhanced stability and durability.
Benefits of Dental Bridges

- Restore the appearance of your smile
