Restore Your Smile with a Natural-Looking Dental Bridge at Olympic Dental

Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance—they can also affect your ability to speak, chew, and maintain proper alignment. At Olympic Dental in Walnut Creek, CA, we offer high-quality dental bridges to replace one or more missing teeth, helping you regain your confidence and function.

Our custom-made bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring balance and beauty to your smile.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that literally "bridges" the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

Dental bridges not only fill gaps in your smile but also prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems and jaw pain over time.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

• Restore Function: Eat and speak normally without discomfort.
• Enhance Aesthetics: Regain a complete, natural-looking smile.
• Prevent Shifting: Keep surrounding teeth from drifting out of position.
• Support Facial Structure: Maintain the shape and definition of your face.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: With proper care, dental bridges can last 10+ years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many teeth can a bridge replace?
Dental bridges can replace one or several missing teeth in a row, depending on your needs and the strength of the supporting teeth or implants.

Is getting a dental bridge painful?
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort.

How do I care for my dental bridge?
Brush and floss daily, especially around the bridge, and visit us regularly for cleanings and exams. Specialized floss or interdental brushes can help keep the area clean.
