Dental Bridges
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge consists of one or more replacement teeth supported at both ends by either natural teeth or dental implants. If you are looking to restore your smile, a dental bridge is a reliable and versatile option. You can replace just one tooth or a row of teeth.
The skilled dentists at My Mouth Dental/My Kidz Mouth Dental in Rowlett, TX, design dental bridges out of high-quality material that lets you smile confidently and eat the foods you love.
We Offer All Types of Dental Bridges

Dr. José Montoya at My Mouth Dental/My Kidz Mouth Dental in Rowlett has the training that allows him to offer patients a choice of either traditional or implant-supported bridges.
Traditional Bridges
With a traditional dental bridge, the natural teeth on either side of the gap are used to support the dental bridge.
A Fast, Affordable Solution
A traditional dental bridge consists of two dental crowns or "caps" that attach to natural teeth on either side of the gap and support artificial teeth (called pontics) that replace your missing teeth. The natural teeth supporting the crowns must be reshaped to allow the crowns to fit over them. In most cases, a traditional bridge can have up to three pontics.
Traditional dental bridges are the fast and affordable solution when you have a missing tooth or a few missing teeth in a row. The skilled dentists at My Mouth Dental/My Kidz Mouth Dental partner with a lab that uses advanced dental materials that allow them to design bridges that blend in with your other teeth while restoring your bite.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are inserted into the jaw. They act like tooth roots and encourage your body to replenish bone in the jaw.
Implants Provide Incredible Advantages
An implant-supported bridge does not need natural teeth to support it. Instead, small titanium posts called dental implants are inserted into the jaw where they fuse with the bone. The dental bridge is then attached to these artificial tooth roots, which provide a secure foundation for decades, or even a lifetime. Implants provide important and unique benefits:
- With implants, you won't need an entire bridge if you are missing just one tooth. That's because a single dental implant can hold the artificial tooth that will fill the gap. However, if you have several consecutive missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge is capable of supporting more pontics than a traditional bridge. In fact, implants can support an entire denture.
- Implant-supported bridges take more time and do cost more, but the health benefits are well worth the investment. Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent the deterioration of the jaw that accompanies tooth loss. Implants provide an incredibly secure foundation for bridges and dentures alike, solving many problems with missing teeth.
