Dental Bridges

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a proven solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It's made up of two crowns that anchor to the natural teeth on either side of the gap, with one or more false teeth (called pontics) in between. The bridge is permanently cemented in place, so you don't remove it—it becomes a natural part of your smile.

Bridges do more than fill a gap. They restore your ability to chew comfortably, help you speak clearly, and keep your remaining teeth from shifting out of position. Missing teeth can lead to bite problems, tooth decay, and gum disease over time, so replacing them protects your long-term oral health.

Same-Day Bridges with 3D CAD/CAM Technology

At Hunterdon Family Dental Care, we use advanced 3D CAD/CAM technology to design and create your bridge right here in our Lebanon office—often in just one visit. This means greater accuracy, a better fit, and a stronger restoration without the hassle of temporary bridges or multiple appointments.

We'll take precise digital impressions, design your custom bridge on-screen, and mill it from high-quality materials while you wait. You'll leave with a beautiful, functional smile the same day.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

If you're missing one or more teeth and have healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap, a bridge may be an excellent option. We'll evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and help you choose the best solution—whether that's a traditional bridge, an implant-supported bridge, or another restorative option.
