Bridge the Gap in Your Smile
Dental bridges fill the gaps in your smile caused by missing teeth. If you are missing one tooth or up to three teeth in a row, a dental bridge could be the dental solution you need. Our dentist in Cedar City, UT, offers two types of dental bridges:
A traditional bridge is made up of a pontic, or replacement tooth, supported by neighboring abutment teeth. This type of bridge requires us to crown the teeth on both sides of the gap in your smile. Traditional bridges are a quick and easy way to restore your smile after tooth loss. It typically takes only two office visits for patients to achieve full dental functionality. In some cases, we can provide same-day bridges.
An implant-supported bridge is attached to dental implants embedded in your jaw. Dental implants prevent jawbone atrophy after tooth loss and provide a secure base for the bridge, making it a prime choice for tooth replacement. Dental implants require a few appointments at our Cedar City dental office, but Dr. Tavoian can perform every step of the dental implant placement process without referrals.
The Far-Reaching
Benefits of Bridges
Implant-supported and traditional dental bridges look just like
natural teeth and can:
- Restore your ability to chew and speak
- Enhance the aesthetics of your smile
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Restore proper distribution of force in your bite

Can't Wait for
Your Bridge?
We Have a CEREC Machine
Depending on your case, our dental team may be able to create your bridge using our in-office CEREC® machine. This machine makes dental restorations in a single appointment, without us having to send impressions to a lab. Ask if you qualify for a CEREC bridge during your consultation.
Caring for Your Bridge
You can care for your new bridge the same way you care for your natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss once a day (including under your pontic), and attend regular cleanings and exams at our Cedar City office. This will go a long way in maintaining your oral health and your bridge. Dental bridges can last up to 10 years with proper care.
