Understanding the Dental Care

What Dental Bridge Is

A dental bridge is a fixed solution used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) between two healthy teeth or dental crowns. The bridge quite literally bridges the gap, restoring your bite and the natural appearance of your smile.

At Method Modern Dentistry in Alpharetta and Roswell, GA, Dr. Alex Franco designs bridges that blend perfectly with your existing teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several in a row, a dental bridge can bring back stability, comfort, and confidence without the need for removable appliances. With the right fit and expert care, your dental bridge can last for years and help maintain long-term oral health.

The Benefits of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges do more than fill a gap — they restore harmony to your entire mouth. By replacing missing teeth, they help prevent shifting, reduce jaw stress, and bring back your smile's natural look and function.

  • Replaces one or more missing teeth

  • Keeps surrounding teeth from shifting out of place

  • Restores ability to chew and speak naturally

Quick steps before your treatment

Preparation for Your Dental Bridges

Getting ready for a dental bridge starts with making sure the teeth that will support the bridge are healthy and strong. Before your appointment, keep up with brushing and flossing so your gums stay clean and the area around the missing tooth is free of inflammation. Dr. Alex Franco may take digital scans or X-rays to understand your bite and make sure your supporting teeth can hold the bridge securely. If you have any tenderness or issues with chewing, mention it during your visit so the team can plan the best approach.

Eating a full meal before your appointment is helpful because you may have temporary numbness afterward. If you grind or clench your teeth, let the office know since it can affect how the bridge is designed and the materials chosen for long term stability.

Aftercare for Your Dental Bridges

Once your dental bridge is placed, your mouth enters an adjustment period while your bite settles into its new rhythm. Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the treated side for a couple of days to prevent early pressure on the bridge. Brush gently around the supporting teeth and clean the area under the artificial tooth, since keeping this spot clear supports gum health. A floss threader or small interdental brush makes this much easier.

Mild soreness or sensitivity is normal and should fade as your bite adapts, though Dr. Alex Franco may recommend a desensitizing toothpaste if needed. If you grind your teeth at night, wearing a night guard can protect the bridge and surrounding teeth. With good hygiene and regular checkups, your dental bridge can stay secure and natural looking for many years.

Dental Bridges 101

Still Got Questions About Dental Bridges?

Here’s everything you need to know before your visit. From how the treatment works to what to expect after your appointment, we’ve got you covered.

A bridge is fixed in place and doesn’t come out, while a denture is removable. Bridges feel more like natural teeth and stay secure while eating and speaking.

We use high-quality porcelain or ceramic that mimics natural tooth color and strength. Dr. Franco will choose a material that fits your bite, smile, and lifestyle.

Getting a dental bridge usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks and involves two visits. During your first appointment, the dentist will prepare the surrounding teeth, take impressions, and fit you with a temporary bridge. On your second visit, the permanent bridge will be placed, adjusted, and securely cemented. We’ll also go over care instructions to make sure everything feels comfortable and fits just right.

Not at all. The process is comfortable with local anesthesia, and most patients say it feels similar to getting a crown. We’ll make sure you’re relaxed every step of the way.

You’ll brush like usual, but we’ll also show you how to floss under the bridge using special tools. With good hygiene and regular cleanings, your bridge can last many years.
