Dental Bridges
One or more missing teeth can make speaking and eating more difficult than they should be. They can also leave room for nearby teeth to shift out of alignment. Our prosthodontists may be able to solve this problem with a custom dental bridge. Call our office at 720-784-8984 to schedule an appointment with our doctors and team.

Replace Missing Teeth With Custom Dental Bridges
A dental bridge literally bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth, called a pontic, held in place by crowns cemented onto the natural teeth on either side of the space. The result is a restoration that looks, feels and functions like your natural teeth.
As prosthodontists, our doctors have specialized training in designing and placing dental bridges with precise fit and natural aesthetics. We use high-quality materials such as porcelain and ceramic that are custom-matched to the color and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring your bridge blends seamlessly into your smile.
