New York Dental Bridges Dentists

When missing a tooth or two, a goal is to have the tooth replacement as natural looking as possible. One method is having a dental bridge. Advanced Dentistry & Implantology are specialists in dental bridge work. We have two convenient locations in New York; Long Beach, Long Island and Brooklyn, NY.

Two dental crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth in between, is what makes a dental bridge. Support for dental bridges can be natural teeth, or dental implants. Costs for dental bridges vary, depending upon the type of dental bridge you use, and whether it is a temporary or permanent solution.

Fixed Bridge:
Consist of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap with a false tooth in between, and are the most commonly used type, and are made of ceramic or porcelain-fused to metal. Dental implants can be used to keep the bridge in place in the absence of surrounding teeth to support the crowns.

Bonded Bridge:
They are only offered to patients whose surrounding teeth are healthy and filling-free. The bridge is affixed to the natural teeth with metal wings, permanently fastened in place on either side of the bridge.

Cantilever Bridge:
Often applied to the front teeth. These are used when a patient only has a natural tooth on one side of the bridge, instead of both sides. Unlike the other bridges, Cantilever bridges are designed to adhere just to the one natural tooth beside the bridge.
