Restore Your Smile With Custom Dental Bridges
Missing teeth can make everyday things like eating your favorite foods or speaking clearly feel frustrating — and they can also affect your confidence. Alatorre Dental of Las Vegas provides custom dental bridges to restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Dental bridges effectively fill the spaces left by missing teeth, helping you chew comfortably, speak naturally, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of alignment.
Dr. Alatorre and her experienced team carefully designs each bridge to match the shape, size, and shade of your natural teeth for a seamless, comfortable fit. Whether you’re replacing one tooth or several, dental bridges at our Las Vegas office offer a reliable, long-lasting solution to help you regain a healthy, confident smile.
How Bridges Work
A dental bridge is a set of artificial teeth, known as pontics, that fill the space left by missing teeth. These are supported by the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. Each bridge is precisely crafted for a secure, natural fit—making it easier to eat, speak, and smile confidently. It also helps prevent neighboring teeth from shifting and preserves the natural shape of your face.
Different Types of Dental Bridges
Depending on your specific needs, your dentist may recommend one of several types of dental bridges:
Traditional Bridge
This type of bridge uses crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap to anchor the artificial tooth securely. It’s a durable and popular choice for patients who have healthy natural teeth on both sides of the missing tooth.
Cantilever Bridge
This option is ideal when only one natural tooth is next to the gap. The artificial tooth is securely attached to that single supporting tooth for a stable restoration.
Maryland Bridge
This type of bridge features a metal or porcelain framework that supports the artificial tooth. The framework is bonded to the backs of the adjacent teeth, requiring little to no alteration of your natural tooth structure.
