Dental Bridges in Valley Stream, NY

Restoring Your Smile with Custom Dental Bridges

Missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking more difficult, but custom dental bridges in Valley Stream, NY, can restore both function and confidence in your smile. There is no need to panic when you have Dr. Marc and Dr. Jessica Henner on standby, ready to fix any cracked, chipped, or missing teeth.

At Henner Dental Associates, we’ve helped generations of families achieve lasting oral health. A dental bridge is a natural-looking, fixed appliance that replaces missing teeth, helping you maintain proper bite alignment and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.

How a Dental Bridge Works

A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, anchored by crowns placed on the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. This seamless restoration blends beautifully with your smile while restoring full function to your bite.

Bridges not only enhance your appearance but also help maintain the structure of your face and jaw by preventing bone loss associated with missing teeth. Even if a missing tooth is far back in your smile, it still threatens the overall structure of your smile.

Customized Options for Ultimate Comfort

We offer several types of fixed dental bridges to restore your smile and function in a way that best suits your needs.

Traditional Bridges

A traditional bridge is the most common option for replacing a missing tooth. This type of bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth held in place by crowns cemented onto the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Traditional bridges provide strength and stability while restoring the natural look and function of your bite.

Cantilever Bridges

Cantilever bridges are used when there is only one adjacent supporting tooth available. Instead of being anchored on both sides, this type of bridge is secured to a single tooth, making it a great option for patients who don’t have teeth on both sides of a missing tooth. While they are not as commonly used as traditional bridges, cantilever bridges can be an excellent solution for specific cases.

Resin-Bonded Bridges

Also known as Maryland bridges, resin-bonded bridges are a more conservative option for replacing missing teeth. Instead of using crowns to secure the bridge, this type is bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth with a metal or porcelain framework. This is a good choice for patients who need a minimally invasive option, particularly for missing front teeth where less force is applied during chewing.

Implant-Supported Bridges

For the highest level of stability and durability, implant-supported bridges are an excellent choice. Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, these bridges are secured to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This option helps preserve bone structure and provides long-term reliability while restoring both function and aesthetics. Implant-supported bridges are ideal for patients who have lost multiple teeth and want a more permanent, natural-feeling solution.

Materials Designed for Durability and Aesthetics

Our dental bridges are crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain, gold alloys, and durable composites, allowing us to match the restoration to your natural tooth color and shape. Whether you need a bridge for front or back teeth, we’ll work with you to find the best material for your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

Caring for
Your Dental Bridge

With proper care, a dental bridge can last for many years. Brushing and flossing daily, along with regular dental checkups, will help keep the supporting teeth and gums healthy. We’ll provide you with personalized instructions to maintain your bridge and protect your investment in your smile.

Gain Confidence in Your Smile

If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, a dental bridge may be the perfect solution for restoring your smile. You don’t have to live life hiding your teeth and dreading the next time you have to present or speak in front of a new group. We are here to take quick action.
