Dental Bridges In Middletown, CT
Is a missing tooth leaving a gap in your grin? Dental bridges can bridge the gap with an artificial tooth that aligns with the rest of your smile.
Why should I get a dental bridge?
Losing a tooth can put a damper on your smile and self-confidence. But there’s no need to wait to fix your situation — a dental bridge can fortify the healthy teeth that surround your gap and can replace your missing tooth in just two visits. The bridge prevents your surrounding healthy teeth from shifting and reduces the risk of bone loss or bite problems. Plus, this appliance is permanently fixed into your surrounding teeth, which prevents it from moving around like dentures. You’re just one bridge away from getting your grin back!

Restore Your Arch
Missing more than just a couple of teeth? There’s no need to wait in pain and discomfort any longer. Implant-retained bridges can replace multiple missing teeth for a sturdy, seamless smile.
Dental Bridges
You’ve Got Options
Bridges aren’t the only way to restore your missing teeth. Dental implants are one of the most secure dental replacement options available. They can completely mend the functionality of your bite, improve your overall health, and bring back the smile you’ve been hiding.
The Benefits of Dental Bridges
No Surgery Needed
Undergoing a dental bridge treatment is a minimally invasive, non-surgical process. An implant-retained bridge will require surgery.
Durable & Sturdy
Permanently affixed to your surrounding healthy teeth, bridges can last for many years with proper care.
Strengthens Your Smile
Bridges preserve your alignment and keep your other teeth from shifting.
The Dental Bridge Treatment Process
Preparation & Impressions
Preparation & Impressions
After cleaning and numbing your mouth, your dentist will prepare the teeth next to your missing tooth. These “abutment teeth” will hold your crowns, which will be permanently attached to the bridge. Next, your dentist will take impressions or models of your teeth and send them to a lab to build your dental bridge.
Temporary Bridge
Temporary Bridge
Depending on your needs, your dentist will place a temporary resin bridge to protect your prepared abutment teeth, or two temporary dental crowns. Either way, your prepared teeth will be covered and protected until your permanent bridge can be placed.
Permanent Placement
Permanent Placement
Once your permanent bridge is ready, you’ll come into the office to have the bridge checked for proper fit. Minor adjustments may be made to ensure that your bridge looks and feels natural. Your dentist will then use powerful dental cement to attach the dental crowns and bridge permanently to your abutment teeth, restoring your smile and your bite.
What is Perio Protect?
Perio Protect is a non-invasive, at-home treatment that works alongside in-office periodontal care to help manage and prevent gum disease. This system uses custom-fitted trays—called Perio Trays®—designed to deliver a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel deep below the gumline. These trays allow medication to reach the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease in places brushing and flossing simply can’t.
Unlike traditional antibiotic treatments or more aggressive surgical options, Perio Protect is gentle, effective, and designed for long-term use as part of your daily routine. The trays are worn for just minutes a day and are FDA-cleared for use in managing periodontal disease.
