If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can help you smile, speak, and eat with confidence again. At Friendly Smiles Center in Mount Laurel, we offer custom bridges designed to look and feel like your natural teeth.
Dr. Robert Chase and our team take time to explain your options in clear, simple language, so you know exactly what to expect and can choose the treatment that feels right for you and your smile.
A gap in your smile can affect much more than your appearance. It can change the way you chew, put extra stress on surrounding teeth, and even impact your confidence in social or professional settings. A dental bridge fills that space with a lifelike replacement tooth, supported by the teeth or implants on either side.
At Friendly Smiles Center, every bridge is carefully planned for comfort, function, and appearance. With our in-house dental lab and advanced digital technology, your restoration is crafted with close attention to detail so it blends naturally with your smile.
Benefits of a custom dental bridge can include:
Many patients appreciate that a bridge is a fixed solution, which means it stays in place and you do not remove it at home.
Your visit begins with a thorough exam and conversation with Dr. Chase. He will review your teeth, gums, and bite, discuss your goals, and explain whether a dental bridge is a good option for you or if another treatment may better fit your needs.
If you decide to move forward with a bridge, we will gently prepare the supporting teeth, take precise digital impressions, and work closely with our in-house lab to create a bridge that matches the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Once it is ready, Dr. Chase will check the fit, make any needed adjustments, and securely place your bridge so it feels comfortable and looks natural. Our team will go over simple home care steps to help you keep your bridge and supporting teeth healthy.
Patients visit Friendly Smiles Center for dental bridges because they want high-quality care in a comfortable, friendly setting. Our office is designed to help you feel relaxed, with amenities like blankets and in-chair TVs, and we offer sedation options for patients who feel anxious about dental treatment.
A dental bridge uses the teeth or dental implants on either side of a gap to support one or more replacement teeth in the middle. The entire piece is cemented into place so it stays fixed and feels like part of your natural smile.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. We thoroughly numb the area before any work begins and check in with you throughout your visit. If you are especially nervous, we can discuss sedation options to help you relax.
With good home care and regular dental visits, a bridge can last many years. Brushing, flossing around and under the bridge as instructed, and routine checkups help keep the supporting teeth and gums healthy.
Yes, that is always our goal. Your bridge is custom made to match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth. Our in-house lab and digital technology allow for detailed customization so your bridge blends in with your smile.
You care for a bridge much like your natural teeth: brush twice a day, clean around and under the bridge as shown by our team, and keep up with regular professional cleanings. We will show you simple tools and techniques to make this easy.
Many patients missing several teeth in a row can be helped with a dental bridge, depending on the health of the supporting teeth or implants. Dr. Chase will evaluate your specific situation and explain whether a bridge, implants, dentures, or a combination is recommended for you.
