Missing teeth can affect how you chew, speak, and smile, often leading to self-consciousness or changes in your bite over time.
Are you looking for a dependable way to replace a missing tooth without the looseness that can come with removable options? If so, dental bridges offer a stable, natural-looking solution that restores function and helps maintain proper alignment.
At Gentle Dental Associates, our experienced dentists (including two Fellows of the Academy of General Dentistry) provide this treatment in a comfortable, supportive setting. We are known for our modern technology and compassionate approach to care.

A dental bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth (or teeth) using a custom-made restoration anchored to the teeth on either side. Bridges are crafted to blend in with your natural smile and restore full chewing ability. They are fixed in place, offering long-term support and stability.
