Dental Bridges
Fill the gap left by missing teeth with a custom dental bridge at Most Dental in Las Vegas, NV. A bridge can restore your bite, keep neighboring teeth from shifting, and bring back a complete, natural-looking smile.
DENTAL BRIDGES TO COMPLETE YOUR SMILE
A missing tooth affects more than the way your smile looks. Gaps can make chewing harder, change the way you speak, and allow neighboring teeth to drift out of position over time. At Most Dental, we provide dental bridges in Las Vegas, NV, to replace missing teeth and restore a full, comfortable bite.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that “bridges” the space left by one or more missing teeth. It usually consists of one or more replacement teeth held in place by crowns on the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, or by dental implants.
Unlike a removable partial denture, a fixed bridge stays in place and is cared for much like your natural teeth. Your dentist will help you decide whether a bridge, a dental implant, or another option is the best fit for your smile.

YOUR VISIT, EXPLAINED
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING DENTAL BRIDGE TREATMENT
Dental bridge treatment is planned around the space being filled, the health of the supporting teeth, and the look you want for your smile.
Consultation and Examination
Your dentist examines the gap, the neighboring teeth, and your gums, and may take X-rays to confirm the supporting teeth are healthy enough for a bridge. Other options, such as dental implants, are discussed too.
Preparing the Supporting Teeth
The teeth on either side of the gap are gently reshaped so they can hold crowns. Impressions or digital scans are taken, and a temporary bridge protects your teeth while your bridge is made.
Custom Bridge Fabrication
Your bridge is crafted to match the shade, shape, and size of your natural teeth, so it fits comfortably with your bite and blends in with your smile.
Final Placement and Bite Check
Your dentist checks the fit, appearance, and bite of your new bridge before cementing it in place, then shows you how to clean around and under it.
RESTORE YOUR SMILE WITH A CUSTOM DENTAL BRIDGE
Living with a gap in your smile can make you self-conscious and change the way you eat. A dental bridge restores the missing teeth with a fixed restoration designed to look natural and work with your bite.
Bridges can be supported by your natural teeth or by dental implants. An implant-supported bridge does not rely on the neighboring teeth, which can be a good option when several teeth in a row are missing.
The right choice depends on the number of missing teeth, the health of the teeth and bone around the gap, and your goals. Your dentist will explain your options so you can make a confident decision.
Caring for a bridge means brushing twice a day, cleaning under the replacement tooth with floss threaders or a water flosser, and keeping up with regular checkups so the supporting teeth and gums stay healthy.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DENTAL BRIDGES
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It is held in place by crowns on the neighboring teeth or by dental implants, filling the gap with natural-looking replacement teeth.
How much does a dental bridge cost in Las Vegas, NV?
The cost depends on the number of teeth being replaced, the type of bridge, the materials used, and whether other treatment is needed first. Contact Most Dental for an examination and a personalized treatment estimate.
How long does a dental bridge last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a dental bridge can last many years. Its lifespan depends on the health of the supporting teeth and gums, your bite, and daily habits.
Is getting a dental bridge painful?
The supporting teeth are numbed during preparation to help keep you comfortable. Some temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness afterward is common and usually settles within a few days.
Should I choose a bridge or a dental implant?
Both can replace missing teeth. A bridge uses the neighboring teeth for support, while an implant replaces the tooth root and does not involve the neighboring teeth. Your dentist will recommend the option that best suits your oral health and goals.
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes. Once your bridge is placed and you are used to it, you can eat most foods normally. Avoid chewing ice or very hard objects, which can damage both natural teeth and restorations.
How do I clean under a dental bridge?
Brush twice a day and clean under the replacement tooth every day using floss threaders, special bridge floss, or a water flosser. Regular cleanings and exams help keep the supporting teeth healthy.
