Dental Bridges

A missing tooth can affect your appearance and oral function. Dr. Nickolas Felten offers dental bridges to patients in Maplewood.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth, or pontic, to the healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap. This fixed solution restores your appearance and bite while helping prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space left behind by a missing tooth.

Our Dental Bridge Options

Traditional Fixed Bridges

Supported by crowns placed on the natural teeth next to the gap, creating a secure, fixed replacement.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Anchored by dental implants rather than natural teeth, ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth in a row.

Gap & Bite Correction

Bridges restore your bite alignment and help prevent nearby teeth from shifting into the empty space.

Natural-Looking Materials

Bridges are shade-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Bridge Fit & Placement

Dr. Felten carefully fits and places your bridge for a comfortable, secure result.

Long-Term Bridge Care

With proper care, a bridge can restore your smile's function and appearance for many years.

The Importance of Dental Bridges

A gap left by a missing tooth affects more than appearance. Preventing Teeth from Shifting: A bridge fills the space left by a missing tooth, helping keep neighboring teeth from drifting out of position. Restoring Your Bite: Bridges help distribute your bite force evenly, making chewing more comfortable. Protecting Your Facial Structure: Replacing a missing tooth helps maintain the natural shape and support of your face and jaw.

I used to drive 45 minutes to my dentist for years, I wish I would’ve called them sooner.  They don’t disappoint

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a senior citizen who had a troublesome wisdom tooth that needed to come out. My experience was good and the results are great so far. To say I was cautious about the whole procedure is an understatement; but Dr. Felton and his assistant went above board to assure my comfort. Many,  many thanks.
