Regain Your Smile and Function with Custom Dental Bridges in Tucson

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper oral health. At Ironwood Dental in Tucson, AZ, we provide high-quality dental bridges to restore your smile, functionality, and confidence. Our patient-centered approach ensures that your dental bridge looks natural and feels comfortable, so you can enjoy a complete smile once again.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. The result is a seamless restoration that not only fills the space but also improves oral health by preventing surrounding teeth from shifting.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer:

Traditional Dental Bridges: Use crowns placed on adjacent teeth to support the bridge.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Securely anchored to dental implants for maximum stability and longevity.
Cantilever Bridges: Supported by one tooth instead of two, suitable for certain situations.
Maryland Bridges: Use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth for a conservative solution.

At Ironwood Dental, our team will recommend the most suitable option based on your unique needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is more than a cosmetic solution—it’s a functional restoration that provides:

Restored Chewing and Speaking Ability: Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food or pronounce certain words. A dental bridge restores these functions.
Improved Smile Appearance: Bridges fill gaps in your smile for a more youthful, confident look.
Prevention of Shifting Teeth: Replacing missing teeth prevents adjacent teeth from moving out of place, which can lead to bite problems.
Support for Facial Structure: Missing teeth can cause your face to appear sunken or aged. A bridge helps maintain your facial structure.

The Dental Bridge Procedure at Ironwood Dental

Step 1: Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by one of our experienced dentists, Dr. Karley Schneider, Dr. Alexander Ordoñez, or Dr. Cole Younger. During the consultation, we’ll review your dental health, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of bridge for your needs.

Step 2: Preparation

For traditional bridges, the teeth adjacent to the gap will be reshaped to support the crowns. If you’re opting for an implant-supported bridge, the dental implants will be placed and given time to heal and integrate with your jawbone before the bridge is attached.

Step 3: Creating Your Custom Bridge

We take impressions of your teeth to design a custom dental bridge that perfectly fits your smile. The bridge will be crafted from durable, natural-looking materials like porcelain or ceramic to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Step 4: Placement

Once your custom bridge is ready, it will be securely placed and adjusted for a comfortable fit. The result is a functional, natural-looking restoration that will restore your smile and confidence.
