Chandler Park Dental Care provides expert dental bridge treatments in Bowling Green, KY, to restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Bridges are an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, helping you maintain a healthy, confident and complete smile.
Protect Your Smile and Bite
Dental bridges are a vital solution for filling the space left by missing teeth. Here’s why you should consider them:
– Restored Functionality: Bridges help you chew and speak properly by replacing missing teeth with functional alternatives.
– Maintained Appearance: They improve your smile’s appearance and prevent facial sagging.
– Preventative Care: Filling gaps prevents the shifting of adjacent teeth, which can lead to further dental problems.
Dental Bridge Options
Traditional Bridges
These consist of one or more fake teeth held in place by crowns on adjacent teeth. They are ideal for filling gaps between two natural teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
A modern alternative using dental implants to support the bridge structure. They’re secured in the jaw for a more durable and long-term solution.
Cantilever Bridges
Used when teeth are present on only one side of the gap, utilizing a single tooth for support.

Bridging the Gap in Your Smile
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to fill gaps left by missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth held in place by crowns or implants on adjacent teeth.
You may need a dental bridge if you have one or more missing teeth that have created a noticeable gap. Bridges can restore your ability to chew and speak properly, as well as improve the appearance of your smile.
The process typically involves multiple visits. We’ll start with a consultation to assess your oral health and discuss your needs. Next, we prepare the supporting teeth and take impressions. Finally, once your custom bridge is ready, we fit and secure it into place.
With proper care, dental bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are critical to maintaining the bridge.
Many insurance plans cover a portion of restorative dental treatments, including bridges. We recommend checking with your insurance provider, and our office can help verify your benefits.
Proper care includes regular brushing and flossing, using special floss or a proxy brush for cleaning underneath the bridge, and attending regular dental check-ups to monitor the integrity of the bridge and oral health.
