Restore Your Smile with Natural-Looking Dental Bridges
Missing a tooth doesn’t mean you have to miss out on a confident smile. At Cannon Family Dental, we offer custom dental bridges to restore the appearance and function of your teeth. Our team uses advanced techniques and a compassionate approach to help you chew, speak, and smile with ease again. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several, we’ll guide you through a comfortable and effective solution tailored just for you.
Dental Bridge Process
Consultation & Evaluation
We assess your smile and oral health to determine if a dental bridge is right for you.
Tooth Preparation
If needed, we carefully shape adjacent teeth to support the bridge or prepare for implants.
Impressions
We take detailed impressions to custom-design your bridge for a seamless fit and appearance.
Temporary Bridge
A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth while the final bridge is created.
Final Placement
Once your custom bridge is ready, we fit and secure it, making sure it looks and feels just right.
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional Bridges
Supported by dental crowns on neighboring teeth—ideal for one or more missing teeth in a row.
Cantilever Bridges
Anchored to a single adjacent tooth when two neighboring teeth aren’t available.
Maryland Bridges
A more conservative option using metal or porcelain wings bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Used when multiple teeth are missing—supported by dental implants instead of crowns.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a bridge can last 10–15 years or longer.
Is the dental bridge procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. We use gentle techniques and local anesthetic to keep you comfortable.
Are dental bridges covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover bridges in part or in full. We’ll help verify your benefits before treatment.
What’s the difference between a bridge and an implant?
A bridge is supported by natural teeth or implants. An implant replaces the tooth root and stands alone. We’ll help you decide which is best for your situation.
Can I eat normally with a bridge?
Yes! After a short adjustment period, your bridge will feel natural and allow you to eat with confidence.
