Fixed Tooth Replacement
Dental Bridges in Washington, DC

A fixed solution, often in two visits.
Restore Your Smile
What Is a Dental Bridge?
Missing teeth affect how you eat, speak and feel about your smile. A bridge spans the gap with custom-crafted artificial teeth, anchored securely to neighboring teeth or implants — restoring balance, function and confidence. At DC Dental Spa, near Foggy Bottom, Georgetown and Dupont Circle, every bridge is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Options for Every Smile
Types of Dental Bridges
The right bridge depends on where the gap is, how many teeth are missing and the condition of the teeth around it. We will walk you through each option.
Traditional Dental Bridge
The most common option — artificial teeth anchored by crowns placed on the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Cantilever Bridge
Anchored to a single adjacent tooth when only one side of the gap has a supporting tooth available.
Maryland Bridge
A conservative design bonded to the backs of neighboring teeth, often used for front teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Secured by dental implants instead of natural teeth — the most stable, long-lasting solution for several missing teeth.
Comfortable and Precise
The Dental Bridge Procedure
Most bridges are completed in two comfortable appointments — from planning to a strong, seamless final result.
Consultation and Planning
We examine your teeth and gums, discuss your goals and recommend the type of bridge that fits your situation best.
Tooth Preparation
The supporting teeth are gently reshaped and precise impressions are taken so your bridge fits seamlessly.
Temporary Bridge
A temporary bridge protects the prepared teeth and keeps your smile complete while the final restoration is crafted.
Final Placement
Your custom bridge is checked for fit, bite and shade, then securely bonded — a strong, seamless smile restored.

Am I a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?

Compare Every Option
