Restore your smile with dental bridges
A dental bridge is a restorative solution designed to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap left behind. It involves using adjacent teeth as anchors to support a false tooth, creating a natural-looking, functional result. Dental bridges help restore your smile, prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, and improve your ability to chew and speak. At Mariner Dentistry, we use high-quality materials to ensure that your bridge looks and feels like natural teeth.
Fix gaps with dental bridges
To create a dental bridge, your dentist will first assess your oral health and the adjacent teeth to ensure they are healthy enough to support the bridge. After taking impressions of your teeth, a custom bridge is designed to fit seamlessly into your mouth. The adjacent teeth are shaped to accommodate dental crowns that will anchor the bridge in place. Once the bridge is fabricated, it is securely cemented to restore both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile.

Dental bridges restore missing teeth, enhance your smile’s appearance, and improve the function of your mouth, helping to prevent other dental issues from arising.
