Dental Bridges in Boynton Beach, FL
Rebuild Your Smile with Seamless Tooth Replacement
If you’re missing one or more teeth, everyday activities like speaking and chewing can become difficult, and untreated gaps can lead to long-term oral health issues. At South Palm Dental, we provide expertly crafted dental bridges to restore your smile’s function and appearance, offering personalized restorative care to patients in Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Gulf Stream, and Boca Raton—so you can enjoy lasting comfort and renewed confidence.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom appliance used to “bridge” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns placed on natural teeth or dental implants (called abutment teeth) on either side of the gap. The pontic (false tooth or teeth) is then suspended in between to complete your smile.
Dental bridges are a great choice if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth in a row
- Are not a candidate for implants
- Want a fixed, non-removable solution
- Are looking to improve both appearance and oral function
Types of Dental Bridges Offered
At South Palm Dental, we design and place several types of dental bridges depending on your needs:
- Traditional Bridges – Anchored by crowns on both sides of the missing tooth, this is the most common type of bridge.
- Implant-Supported Bridges – Ideal when multiple teeth are missing, these bridges are held in place by dental implants instead of natural teeth.
- Cantilever Bridges – Used when there’s only one adjacent tooth available for support.
- Maryland Bonded Bridges – Feature a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of neighboring teeth, often used for front teeth.
Each option is designed using advanced materials for natural aesthetics, long-term durability, and a comfortable fit.
The Dental Bridge Process
- Consultation & Planning
Our experienced doctors—Dr. Luis Franceschi and Dr. Mary-Helen Habib—will examine your oral health, review X-rays, and determine the best bridge type for you. - Tooth Preparation
The abutment teeth are reshaped to hold crowns (for traditional bridges), or implant placement may be scheduled if you’re receiving an implant-supported bridge. - Impressions & Temporary Bridge
We’ll take precise digital impressions and place a temporary bridge to protect your smile while the permanent one is created in a trusted lab. - Final Placement
Your custom bridge is carefully bonded into place, adjusted for a perfect bite, and polished to blend beautifully with your surrounding teeth.
