Dental Bridges in Fairport, NY

A dental bridge is a restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) between neighboring teeth or dental implants. Bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

  • Restored Functionality — Bridges allow you to chew and speak naturally.
  • Improved Appearance — Custom-made to match your natural teeth, bridges close gaps in your smile.
  • Preventing Shifting Teeth — Replacing missing teeth keeps neighboring teeth from drifting out of position.
  • Long-Lasting Results — With proper care, bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

1. Traditional Bridges — supported by dental crowns placed on the natural teeth adjacent to the gap. Ideal for patients with healthy surrounding teeth.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges — for patients missing multiple teeth, anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth. Learn more on our Dental Implant Restoration page.

3. Cantilever Bridges — used when there's only one natural tooth adjacent to the missing teeth.

The Dental Bridge Process

  1. Consultation — We'll begin with a thorough exam to assess your oral health and determine the best type of bridge for your situation.
  2. Preparation — For traditional bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared to receive dental crowns. For implant-supported bridges, implants are placed and allowed to heal before the bridge is attached.
  3. Custom Fabrication — Your bridge is custom-designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
  4. Placement — Once your bridge is ready, we'll bond it in place and make any necessary adjustments.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

Brush twice a day and floss daily, using a floss threader to clean under the bridge. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice. Schedule regular checkups and cleanings at Spruce Grove Dental to keep your oral health in top shape.

“Awesome office! Awesome dentist! Awesome staff!”

— Carole S.

“I switched dental providers because of insurance policy needs and I am so incredibly happy!... Dr. Adler did a very comprehensive evaluation of my teeth ... never before completed to that level...and he spotted areas of concern that my former dentist never caught. I am almost 79 years old and I have never experienced a dentist of his competence and skill! I'd recommend him to everyone... young and old!!”
