Restore Your Smile to Perfect Condition!
Have you lost a tooth or two? Find out if a dental bridge is right for you. We often recommend this treatment for those who:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have an otherwise strong, stable bite
- Aren’t interested in surgical treatment
We’ll evaluate your needs and help you decide if a bridge is the best option for your health and future. Schedule an appointment today
How Does a Dental Bridge Work?
A tooth bridge fills the empty space in your mouth — typically without the need for surgery — and can be completed in as little as 2 to 3 weeks. In some cases, we may recommend placing implants on either side of the gap to serve as the attachment point for your bridge. In others, your neighboring healthy teeth may be covered with a crown which will then hold the bridge in place.
What to Expect
- Neighboring teeth are prepared to act as the “anchor” for your dental bridge
- A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth and gums
- The final restoration is custom-made to fit your mouth and looks just like your real teeth
- We’ll bond the finished bridge into place to complete your restoration

Most frequent questions and answers
What are the benefits of a dental bridge?
Dogwood’s Dental is the area’s trusted source for restorative care. Some benefits of dental bridges from our office include:
- Keep your remaining teeth from “drifting” and becoming misaligned
- Create an even bite force, which makes chewing easy
- Small, lightweight, and very comfortable

How long will a dental bridge last?
Most dental bridges will last for 5 to 15 years or even longer. Help increase the durability of your bridge through proper at-home hygiene and regular exams and checkups.
How much does a dental bridge treatment cost?
The cost of a dental bridge depends on the number of teeth you are replacing, the location of your missing teeth, and whether you need additional care as part of the treatment (such as dental implants). Get in touch with us for a consultation and cost estimate.
