Losing even a single tooth can affect more than just your smile—it can impact how you speak, chew, and feel about your appearance. At Stutsman Dentistry, we believe every patient deserves a complete and confident smile. Dental bridges offer a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring balance, comfort, and function to your mouth.
The Purpose and Power of a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is designed to “bridge the gap” left by one or more missing teeth. This restoration consists of a prosthetic tooth, known as a pontic, anchored securely to the surrounding teeth or dental implants. By filling that empty space, a bridge restores the harmony of your bite and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
When teeth are missing, it doesn’t just affect how your smile looks—it also affects the health of your jaw joint, or TMJ. Your teeth and jaw are meant to work together in perfect alignment. Gaps in your smile can lead to uneven chewing forces and TMJ discomfort over time. A bridge helps reestablish that natural balance, allowing your teeth and jaw to function smoothly again.
Restoring More Than Your Smile
Replacing missing teeth isn’t only about aesthetics—it’s about maintaining your oral health and preventing further problems. Without proper tooth replacement, patients can experience jawbone deterioration, gum disease, and even additional tooth loss. A bridge helps preserve your natural facial structure and keeps your bite aligned, which supports better long-term oral stability.
A complete smile is also easier to maintain. When your teeth are properly spaced, brushing and flossing become more effective, reducing your risk of decay and gum issues. Beyond that, restoring your smile with a bridge can give you a boost of self-confidence, allowing you to eat, laugh, and speak comfortably again.
Quality Craftsmanship You Can Trust
At Stutsman Dentistry, Dr. Chad and Dr. Danielle stand by the quality of their work. They offer a limited three-year warranty on all crown and bridge treatments, as long as patients maintain their recommended professional cleanings at least every six months. This commitment reflects their dedication to lasting results, precise craftsmanship, and your continued oral health.
Each dental bridge is custom-made to match your surrounding teeth in shape, size, and color for a flawless, natural look. With today’s advanced materials and techniques, bridges not only feel comfortable but also look remarkably lifelike—helping your smile blend seamlessly once again.
