What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that literally “bridges” the gap left by a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored in place by crowns on the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. At Dentist of Redlands, we use advanced digital technology to design bridges that fit comfortably and look completely natural. Dr. Munguia takes the time to evaluate your bite, your bone structure, and your overall oral health before recommending the right type of bridge for you.

The Benefits of Dental Bridges

Natural-Looking Results

Bridges are crafted to match your surrounding teeth in shape, size, and color.

Restored Chewing Function

Eat the foods you love again without discomfort or avoidance.

Improved Speech

A bridge fills gaps that can interfere with clear pronunciation.

Prevents Shifting

Keeps neighboring teeth from drifting into the empty space.

Balanced Bite

Distributes chewing forces evenly so your remaining teeth are not overloaded.

Lasting Solution

With proper care, a dental bridge can last ten years or more.

Our Dental Bridge Process

We keep the process straightforward so you can get your smile back without unnecessary stress.

  1. 01

    Consultation & Exam

    Dr. Munguia evaluates your oral health using digital X-rays and CBCT imaging to determine if a bridge is the right fit.

  2. 02

    Tooth Preparation

    The teeth on either side of the gap are gently shaped to accommodate the crowns that will anchor the bridge.

  3. 03

    Digital Impressions

    We use a digital scanner to capture precise impressions, so your bridge is designed for an accurate, comfortable fit.

  4. 04

    Bridge Placement

    Once your custom bridge is ready, Dr. Munguia secures it in place and makes any final adjustments for your bite.

Signs You May Need a Dental Bridge

If any of the following sound familiar, a dental bridge in Redlands, CA, may be the right solution for you.

  • One or More Missing Teeth: A gap in your smile affects how you chew, speak, and feel about your appearance.

  • Shifting Teeth: Teeth near the gap may begin to drift out of position over time, leading to bite problems.

  • Difficulty Chewing: A missing tooth can make it uncomfortable or painful to chew food properly on that side of your mouth.

  • Speech Changes: Tooth loss in certain areas can affect the way you pronounce words or form certain sounds.

  • Uneven Bite: A gap can change how your upper and lower teeth meet, placing extra strain on the teeth around it.

  • Lack of Smile Confidence: If you find yourself hiding your smile or avoiding social situations, it may be time to explore your options.

  • ★★★★★ I recently completed orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nomi Lee, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the entire treatment process. She made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and the results exceeded my expectations. I also want to give a big thank you to her office Manager Erika, who helped me with my first appointment, linking my insurance and making every appointment smooth. Erika is a huge help when it comes to getting started with my dental treatment. If you’re looking for a general dentist and orthodontist who is skilled, kind, and has an amazing staff, I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team. Five stars all the way!

  • I had another great experience at Dr. Nomi Lee’s office. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dr. Lee is professional, kind, and truly cares about her patients’ well-being. I came in for a check-up and cleaning, and as always, my hygienist Yelena was fantastic—friendly, personable, and incredibly thoughtful. She always checks in to make sure I’m comfortable and takes extra care to ensure nothing is painful. It really makes a difference to be treated with that level of attentiveness. Erika in the front office is always looking out for my best interest. She never fails to have a positive demeanor. The entire staff is accommodating and kind, and they make going to the dentist a positive and stress-free experience. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and her team to anyone looking for excellent dental care with a personal touch.

  • Been going here for several months now and wow, love the friendly, warm staff and professional work. Initially, I came here for a simple tooth extraction but after further examination, the dentist saw 2 cavities and a cracked tooth. This led to several trips to their office, each one with a friendly text notification of an upcoming appointment the day prior to the procedure. Each experience has been a pleasant & professional one with the utmost concern for any pain or discomfort. The tooth extraction was a breeze and I barely felt anything. Elena did deep cleaning on my dentures 3 times and is such a sweetheart per experience, concerned for any pain and answering all my questions. This place has definitely helped me lose fear in going to the dentist 🙏
