Dental Bridges in Phoenix, AZ

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration designed to replace missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap where teeth are absent by anchoring to the neighboring teeth or dental implants. This provides stability while restoring function and aesthetics.

If you’re searching for a multiple tooth replacement, we offer customized options that look and feel natural, so you can smile with complete confidence.

Am I a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?

You may be a strong candidate for a dental bridge if:

• You are missing one or more teeth in a row
• Your adjacent teeth or implants are healthy enough to support a bridge
• You’re looking for a stable, non-removable solution to tooth loss

At The Smile Studio, we perform a thorough examination to determine which solution best fits your lifestyle and long-term health goals.

Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge

A dental bridge is more than a cosmetic fix; it restores daily function and protects your oral health. Benefits include:

• Rebuilding the natural shape and appearance of your smile
• Improving speech and the ability to chew properly
• Preventing adjacent teeth from shifting out of place
• Maintaining facial structure and jaw support
• Promoting long-term oral stability and comfort

Whether you’ve recently lost a tooth or have been living with gaps for years, a bridge can transform both your smile and your self-esteem.

What’s the Process for Getting a Dental Bridge?

Your comfort and clarity are our priority throughout the bridge procedure.

1. Consultation and exam – Dr. Burnham will assess your smile and discuss your goals
2. Tooth preparation and intra-oral scans  – We gently reshape the supporting teeth and capture precise digital models
3. Temporary bridge placement – You’ll wear a comfortable temporary while your permanent bridge is being crafted
4. Final placement – We ensure your dental bridge fits seamlessly, then bond it into place
5. Follow-up care – We check your bite, comfort, and make any needed adjustments

What’s the Recovery Time for a Dental Bridge Procedure?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal routines within 24 to 48 hours. It’s common to experience minor sensitivity or soreness at first, especially when eating. We recommend starting with soft foods and avoiding pressure on the bridge for a few days to allow your mouth to adjust comfortably.

Can I Eat Normally with a Dental Bridge?

Yes, once the bridge has fully settled, you can enjoy most of your favorite foods. To help maintain the longevity of your tooth bridge, we advise:

• Limiting sticky or very hard foods
• Chewing evenly on both sides of your mouth
• Following the care tips provided during your visit

Our team will give you personalized advice so your eating habits support your new restoration.

How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?

With proper maintenance, most dental bridges last between 10 and 15 years, sometimes even longer. Lifespan depends on your oral hygiene habits, diet, and regular dental care. At The Smile Studio, we monitor your bridge at every preventive visit to make sure it remains strong and secure.

How Much Does a Dental Bridge Cost?

The cost of a dental bridge can vary depending on the number of teeth involved, the type of bridge, and the materials used. Most fall within the range of $1,500 to $5,000.
