Dental Bridges – Aurora, CO
Rebuild Your Smile with a Dental Bridge
Teeth are meant to last for a lifetime, but that isn’t a reality for many adults. Studies show at least 120 million Americans have lost one or more teeth. Traditionally, a bridge fills the space of a single tooth or consecutive missing teeth. All-ceramic material is used to replace the portions of the teeth visible above the gum line. Our office uses the latest techniques and technologies to create high-quality dental bridges in Aurora. This restores a beautiful, complete smile while allowing you to chew your favorite foods again, like steak.

- Modern dental care through continued training.
- Advanced technologies for precise results.
- High-quality material for a natural-looking smile.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A conventional dental bridge has been used for decades to treat consecutive tooth loss. It relies on abutment teeth on either side of the gap to support it. Believe it or not, not all bridges are the same. We’ll recommend which type is right for you depending on your specific needs:
- Cantilever Bridge: The bridge relies on only 1 abutment tooth for support.
- Bonded Bridge: Dental crowns are affixed to the adjacent teeth to hold the bridge in place.
- Implant-Retained Bridge: 1-2 titanium implant posts are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as tooth roots to anchor the bridge.
No matter the method you choose, you can chew, smile, and speak with confidence knowing your bridge looks natural. We’ll preserve your remaining teeth and improve your quality of life using a personalized treatment plan.
What are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Losing even a single tooth can have devastating consequences for your self-esteem, oral health, and your daily life. It’s best to replace your missing teeth as soon as possible to prevent any additional complications. A traditional fixed bridge is a popular solution because it offers a variety of benefits, including:
- Easy maintenance and care.
- Supports your natural teeth to prevent dental drift.
- Durable to withstand the pressure of regular chewing.
- Long-term solution that can last for 10 years or longer with the right aftercare.
An Implant-retained bridge offers more benefits than the traditional method because they mimic everything from the root up. As a result, you’ll enjoy a nearly perfect replica of your natural smile that has the potential to last for a lifetime.
Am I a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?
If you’ve lost a tooth or two over the years, you might be a candidate for a dental bridge. You’ll need an initial consultation to evaluate your oral health and discuss the results you want to achieve to determine which treatment plan best meets your needs.
How Much Do Dental Bridges Cost?
There isn’t a set fee for dental bridges because the cost is based on your specific plan, such as the number of teeth you’re treating. A member of our team will work on your behalf with your dental insurance carrier to maximize your benefits. If there’s any remaining expense, we offer several payment solutions to keep your new smile affordable.
