Dental Bridges in Woodbridge NJ

A space left by a missing tooth can affect your chewing and make you self-conscious about your smile. At Lumen Dental in Woodbridge, we plan dental bridges around the teeth supporting the restoration, your bite, and the appearance you want to achieve. A bridge connects one or more replacement teeth to suitable supporting teeth or implants.

Digital records for a restoration that fits your smile

Our 3D scanning technology can capture the tooth surfaces used to plan your restoration. Digital records help the dentist assess the available space and communicate the proposed design. The material and fabrication method are selected for the bridge; not every bridge uses the same milling process as a single crown.

Choosing between a bridge and an implant

The condition of neighboring teeth matters. A conventional bridge generally relies on those teeth for support, while an implant-supported replacement relies on implants in the jaw. We evaluate your oral health and discuss the treatment steps, maintenance, and costs so you can understand the practical differences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a bridge feel like my natural teeth?

A bridge is designed to restore comfortable function, but it can take time to adjust. Your dentist checks the bite and explains how to clean around and beneath the replacement tooth.

Can a bridge replace several teeth?

In some cases. The number of missing teeth, the length of the space, and the strength of the available support determine whether a bridge is appropriate.
