Dental bridges are a trusted and time-tested solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Whether you've lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or other dental conditions, bridges can help restore both function and aesthetics.

Why Should I Get Dental Bridges?
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. They can lead to shifting teeth, bite issues, and difficulty chewing. Dental bridges offer a reliable way to fill those gaps, bringing back comfort, balance, and a fuller, healthier smile. At Family Dentist Tree, we focus on personalized solutions.
Each dental bridge is crafted to fit your goals and provide a natural appearance, exceptional comfort, and long-lasting durability. With the convenience of seeing your whole family under one roof and the caring support of a locally-rooted practice, you’ll always feel at ease during your dental journey in Rochester.
The Benefits Of Dental Bridges
Restores Function and Comfort
Dental bridges make it easier to chew and speak naturally, especially when missing molars or front teeth. They’re designed for daily function, helping you regain peace of mind and ease with everyday activities.
Prevents Shifting and Misalignment
Gaps in your smile can cause surrounding teeth to shift out of position, which may lead to bite problems over time. Bridges help maintain the natural alignment of your teeth, preserving the structure of your smile.
Blended, Natural Appearance
Each bridge is color-matched and custom-shaped to fit harmoniously with your existing teeth. The result is a beautiful, lifelike restoration that supports your facial structure and your self-confidence.
The Dental Bridges Treatment Process
01
Initial Consultation and Personalized Planning
At your first appointment, our caring dental team takes time to understand your oral health history and aesthetic goals. Using advanced imaging and a gentle approach, we evaluate the best bridge option for your needs. We’ll answer questions, walk you through the plan, and explain how this treatment ties into your long-term dental care, all in a warm, welcoming environment that puts your comfort first.
02
Tooth Preparation and Temporary Bridge
Once your treatment plan is in place, we gently prepare the anchor teeth to support the bridge. An impression is taken to create your custom restoration, and a temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth and maintain functionality while the permanent version is being crafted. Our goal is always to keep you comfortable and informed every step of the way.
03
Permanent Placement and Final Adjustments
On your return visit, we place your new dental bridge using secure, long-lasting dental cement. Your dentist will check bite alignment and fit for both comfort and aesthetics. Minor adjustments are made as needed to ensure a natural, easy feel. We’ll also provide tips tailored to you on how to care for your new bridge, because we’re here not just for your smile today, but for many healthy tomorrows.
With proper care, dental bridges typically last 5 to 15 years or even longer. Factors like good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding hard or sticky foods can extend the lifespan of your bridge.
