Missing teeth can make eating and smiling harder, but dental bridges are a great way to fix that. A dental bridge fills in the space where a tooth is missing. It’s made of one or more artificial teeth that are held in place by the teeth next to the gap. At Smiles of Bulverde, we custom-make each bridge to match your smile, so it looks and feels natural. With dental bridges in San Antonio TX, you can eat better, speak clearly, and feel more confident.
Dental bridges can last 5 to 15 years and even longer with good oral hygiene and regular checkups.
Sedation dentistry is specifically designed to ease the fear and anxiety that can come with dental procedures. Our sedation options help patients relax, transforming what could be a stressful visit into a calm and serene experience.

One of the most significant benefits of a dental bridge is that it restores the functionality of your teeth. With a dental bridge, you can eat, speak, and chew as you did before you lost your teeth. It fills the gap left by missing teeth, preventing other teeth from shifting out of alignment and causing further problems.
A dental bridge not only improves your oral function but also enhances the aesthetics of your smile. It is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, making your smile complete and attractive. With a dental bridge, you can smile with confidence again.
Dental bridges are a long-lasting solution to missing teeth. Made from durable materials, they can last many years with proper care. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups can extend the lifespan of your dental bridge, making it a cost-effective solution.
The first step in getting a dental bridge is an initial consultation with your San Antonio dentist. During this visit, your dentist will examine your teeth and determine if a dental bridge is the right solution for you. If a dental bridge is deemed appropriate, your dentist will prepare the abutment teeth for crowns by reshaping them to allow room for the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
After the abutment teeth are prepared, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a model for the dental lab to construct your bridge. While waiting for your permanent bridge to be made, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect your prepared teeth.
Once your permanent bridge is ready, you'll return to the dentist's office for the final placement. Your dentist will remove the temporary bridge and check the fit of the permanent one, making adjustments as necessary. Once the fit is perfect, the bridge is cemented into place, restoring your smile and oral function.
Brush, floss, and visit our San Antonio office for regular cleanings to keep your bridge strong.
Yes! After it’s placed, you can eat most foods just like with natural teeth.
The procedure is gentle, and we use local numbing to make sure you stay comfortable.
The process generally involves two or more visits. First, the dentist prepares the abutment teeth by reshaping them to fit the crowns. Then, an impression is taken to create the bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed while the permanent one is being made. Once ready, the permanent bridge is fitted and adjusted for comfort and function.
