Bite and Chew Comfortably
Bridges restore a stable chewing surface and evenly distribute bite pressure, so you can eat normally without strain or discomfort.
01
Understanding Dental Bridges
A dental bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth (or a few in a row). It anchors to the teeth—or implants—on either side and holds a custom replacement tooth in between. With modern materials and digital planning, bridges look natural, feel comfortable, and help keep neighboring teeth from shifting, which protects your bite over time.
Why choose Credible Dental For Dental Bridge?
At Credible Dental in Barker Cypress, Dr. Dutt takes a modern, detail-oriented approach to replacing missing teeth with natural-looking bridges. Using digital scanning and 3D imaging, she designs a precise fit that restores your bite, protects neighboring teeth, and blends seamlessly with your smile. Technology makes the process smoother and more comfortable—and helps your bridge last.
Benefits of Dental Bridge
Keep Teeth from Shifting
A bridge fills the gap to prevent nearby teeth from drifting or misaligning, keeping your bite balanced and healthy.
02
Natural Look
Digitally crafted to match your teeth and gumline, your bridge blends in seamlessly for a natural, confident smile.
03
What To Expect
STEP 01
Bridge consultation and evaluation
Meet with Dr. Dutt to review your goals, medical history, and bite. We’ll take digital scans and necessary X-rays to confirm that a bridge is the most appropriate way to replace the missing tooth (or teeth) and protect adjacent structures.
STEP 02
Prepare the supporting teeth
If a traditional bridge is recommended, the neighboring teeth are conservatively shaped to receive protective crowns that will anchor the bridge. If implants will serve as anchors, we’ll align the surgical and restorative timelines.
STEP 03
Digital impressions and design
Using high-accuracy digital impressions, we design the bridge to match your natural shade, contour, and bite dynamics. This step ensures a precise fit and comfortable function.
STEP 04
Temporary bridge
A well-fitting temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth, maintain space, and preserve your smile aesthetics while the final restoration is fabricated by our partner lab.
STEP 05
Final placement and bite check
Your custom bridge is bonded securely. We verify contacts and occlusion, then fine-tune the bite so chewing feels stable and natural from the first day.
STEP 06
Maintenance and follow-up
We provide tailored hygiene instructions, including how to clean under the pontic, and schedule routine checks to monitor fit, function, and gum health—helping your bridge last for years.

No nonsense dentist facility. Extremely punctual. The facility is very clean and new. Their cleaning technique is fast and doesn’t waste time. I also liked that Dr. Dutt does the cleanings herself.
FAQs
Got any questions?
A dental bridge is a custom restoration that bridges the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It’s anchored to the neighboring teeth or dental implants and topped with natural-looking crowns. At Credible Dental, our bridges are crafted with lifelike materials that restore appearance and function.
You may need a bridge if you’re missing one or several teeth in a row and want a fixed, non-removable solution. Bridges prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, protect your bite, and help maintain your facial shape. We’ll evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite to determine whether a bridge or an implant-supported option is best.
We offer traditional bridges supported by crowns on neighboring teeth, implant-supported bridges anchored by dental implants, and cantilever or Maryland bridges for select cases with minimal tooth preparation. We’ll recommend the right design based on your smile, bone health, and long-term goals.
Most bridges are completed in two appointments, about two weeks apart. Visit 1: We prepare the anchor teeth, take digital scans, and place a temporary bridge. Visit 2: We fit and bond your custom bridge permanently, adjusting your bite for comfort and balance.
With proper care, bridges usually last 10 years or more. Brushing, flossing with a bridge threader or water flosser, and regular checkups help protect both your bridge and supporting teeth. Avoid biting hard objects to extend its life.
The procedure is gentle and done under local anesthesia. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during or after treatment. You may notice mild sensitivity for a few days, but it fades quickly.
The cost varies depending on the type of bridge and the number of missing teeth. Most PPO insurance plans cover 50–80 percent of the treatment. We’ll check your insurance, explain all costs upfront, and offer flexible payment options.
