Why Choose Beam Dental
Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Edgewater, NJ, works together to create a convenient dental experience.
Missing teeth can make it challenging to chew and speak normally, but restorative dentistry offers effective solutions to bring back your smile. At our Edgewater office, we provide dental bridges to fill the gaps left by missing teeth. A dental bridge is a fixed device anchored to the two healthy teeth on either side of a gap, which then support an artificial replacement tooth.
Beyond restoring the aesthetics of your smile, a bridge stops your surrounding teeth from shifting and helps maintain your natural facial shape. Bridges are often recommended for patients looking for a quicker, less invasive option to replace a few missing teeth. During your consultation, our team will help you weigh factors like durability and materials—such as porcelain, ceramics, or zirconia—to find the best fit for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I care for my new dental bridge?
We recommend brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and using a floss threader or water flosser to clean under the artificial tooth. It is also important to avoid chewing on hard objects or sticky foods like caramel that could damage the device.
How long can I expect my bridge to last?
Most dental bridges last between five and 15 years. Their lifespan depends on your oral hygiene habits, the materials used, and whether you attend regular professional checkups.
How is a bridge different from a dental implant?
While implants use a titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone, bridges rely on neighboring teeth for support. Because of this, bridges are often faster to install and do not require surgery, though they do require filing down the healthy adjacent teeth to act as anchors.
What exactly is a dental bridge?
It is a restorative treatment that fills a gap by attaching an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on either side.
