Dental Bridges in Grandville, MI
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak normally, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and maintain the shape of your face.
A traditional dental bridge consists of two crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap, with one or more artificial teeth suspended between them. The bridge is permanently cemented in place and functions just like natural teeth.
Benefits
- Replace missing teeth with a fixed, non-removable restoration
- Restore normal chewing and speaking ability
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting into the gap
- Maintain facial structure and prevent bone loss
- Natural-looking results that blend with your smile
What to Expect
Bridge placement typically requires two appointments. At the first visit, we prepare the abutment teeth, take impressions, and place temporary crowns. At the second visit, we cement the permanent bridge.

How long does a dental bridge last?
With proper care, a dental bridge can last 10–15 years or longer. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene are essential for maximizing the lifespan of your bridge.
Is a bridge or implant better for replacing a missing tooth?
Both are excellent options with different advantages. Implants don't require altering adjacent teeth and can last a lifetime, but require surgery and a longer timeline. Bridges are faster and less invasive. We'll discuss both options.
How do I clean under a dental bridge?
Cleaning under a bridge requires a floss threader or water flosser to clean the area beneath the pontic. We'll show you exactly how to clean your bridge at your placement appointment.
