Fixed Dental Bridges in Irvine
Missing a tooth or two? At Sand Canyon Dental in Irvine, we offer fixed dental bridges to restore your smile, support your bite, and prevent shifting teeth.
What Is a Fixed Dental Bridge?
A fixed bridge is a non-removable restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) anchored in place by crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth.
This solution “bridges” the gap left by missing teeth, restoring appearance and function.
When Is a Bridge the Right Choice?
We may recommend a bridge if you:
Are missing one or more teeth in a row
Have healthy teeth adjacent to the gap
Want a non-removable alternative to partial dentures
Prefer a more affordable option than implants
A bridge helps prevent surrounding teeth from shifting and maintains the natural shape of your face.
Benefits of a Fixed Bridge
Restores your ability to chew and speak normally
Prevents surrounding teeth from drifting
Enhances the appearance of your smile
Fixed in place—no need to remove
Custom-designed to match your natural teeth
Types of Bridges We Offer
Traditional bridges – Supported by crowns on both sides
