State of The Art Implant Bridge Technology
At Valley Dental, we empathize with the struggles faced by individuals with missing teeth. A gap in your smile can affect your self-confidence, eating habits, and even speech.
Thankfully, our dental bridge solutions, made with state-of-the-art Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, can restore your smile to its former glory. Our precision-driven process provides a fit so natural that you’ll forget you ever had a missing tooth.
Are Dental Bridge Solutions for You?
Missing teeth are more than a cosmetic issue, they can also lead to functional problems. Dental bridges are an excellent solution, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional restoration. If you’re eager to regain your smile and the joy of biting into your favourite foods without worry, dental bridges may be an excellent choice for you.
Dental Bridges are Durable & Reliable
Dental bridges are not only aesthetically pleasing but are durable and reliable, providing long-lasting solutions for missing teeth. They restore your natural bite and prevent other teeth from shifting, preserving the integrity of your facial structure. With our cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology, we provide you with custom-designed bridges that perfectly fit your dental anatomy.
Did you know that dental bridges have been used for centuries to replace missing teeth?
Some of the earliest examples date back to ancient Egypt where they used gold and silver wire to create crude dental bridges! Today, the technology has come a long way, but the fundamental concept remains the same.
Alternative Options to Dental Bridges
While dental bridges are a fantastic solution, it’s important to know there are other options as well. Singular same day dental implants offer a permanent solution that replaces the tooth root, providing excellent stability. Partial dentures are another alternative that can be removed for easy cleaning. Discussing these options with your dentist will help determine the best fit for your lifestyle and oral health.
Questions & Answers About Dental Bridge Implants
Get the answers you need to know if dental bridges are right for you
What exactly is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that fills a gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth/teeth in between. It’s like a bridge in your mouth – but, thankfully, no tolls!
How long do dental bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or even longer. So, they’re less like a drawbridge and more like a sturdy, dependable overpass!
Do dental bridges look natural?
Absolutely! Our CAD/CAM technology allows us to design bridges that match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. You could say they’re like an undercover agent in your mouth, blending in perfectly.
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes! After a short adjustment period, you can eat normally. Just be sure to cut hard foods into smaller pieces to avoid putting too much pressure on the bridge. It’s not a food fight, after all!
Is getting a dental bridge painful?
The procedure itself is typically performed under local anesthesia, so it should be painless. Any discomfort after the procedure can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Dental bridges: less painful than a real bridge construction!
How do I care for my dental bridge?
Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will keep your bridge in great shape. Think of it as maintaining a shiny, new car – but for your mouth!
What are the alternatives to dental bridges?
Dental implants and partial dentures are two common alternatives. They each have their advantages, so it’s like choosing between an ocean view or a mountain view. Both are great, but it depends on what you fancy!
Will a dental bridge affect my speech?
Initially, you may notice a slight difference, but your speech should return to normal as your tongue and mouth adjust to the bridge. It’s like learning a new language, the language of a confident smile!

I’ve had a lot of dental anxiety my entire life and recently decided to try changing dental offices. I am so happy I chose Valley Dental!
Dr. McCracken is so kind, funny and gentle. I was not shamed in any way for not coming in soon enough. The front desk staff and all the dental assistants are also so kind. It’s such a nice, calming atmosphere. I am no longer scared to go to the dentist! Thank you!
