Dental Bridges in Henderson, NV

Restore What’s Missing with a Custom Dental Bridge

A dental bridge is a restoration that fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. It’s made up of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are held in place by crowns or implants on either side. Bridges are a strong, reliable option for restoring function and aesthetics—especially when implants aren’t preferred or possible.

At Black Mountain Dental, we design bridges with durable, tooth-colored materials like ceramic or porcelain to blend naturally with your smile. With the use of digital imaging and advanced restorative techniques, your bridge will look, feel, and function like a natural part of your bite.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

We customize your bridge based on your smile, bite, and surrounding teeth. Your options may include:

Traditional Bridges

• Anchored by crowns on natural teeth on both sides of the gap
  
• Ideal for replacing one or two adjacent teeth
  
• Long-lasting and aesthetically matched to your smile
  

Implant-Supported Bridges

• Attached to dental implants instead of natural teeth
  
• Used when multiple teeth are missing in a row
  
• More stable and protective of surrounding natural teeth
  
• Designed with the support of digital surgical technology for precise placement
  

During your consultation, we’ll help you decide which bridge type is best based on your dental health, budget, and long-term goals.

Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters

When a tooth is lost, surrounding teeth naturally begin to shift, and bone in the jaw may begin to shrink. A bridge helps prevent:

• Shifting of adjacent teeth
  
• Changes in bite alignment
  
• Jawbone deterioration (with implant-supported options)
  
• Difficulty chewing or speaking
  
• Visible gaps that affect confidence
  

If you’ve recently lost a tooth—or are planning an extraction—we can often begin planning your bridge right away to prevent further complications.

Our Approach: Efficient, Technology-Driven Care

At Black Mountain Dental, we use modern tools and digital planning to make getting a bridge more efficient and more comfortable than ever:

• Digital scans – No messy impressions
  
• 3D imaging – Used for implant-supported bridge planning
  
• Natural-looking materials – Ceramic or porcelain matched to your smile
  
• Streamlined scheduling – Respectful of your time and comfort
  

Depending on your case, your bridge may be designed in-office using the same technology we use for CEREC same-day crowns, helping reduce the number of visits needed.

Who’s a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?

A bridge may be recommended if you:

• Are missing one or more teeth in a row
  
• Want a non-removable alternative to dentures
  
• Have healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap
  
• Want to restore function and aesthetics quickly
  

For patients looking for a fixed, long-lasting solution but not ready for full implant treatment, bridges offer the perfect middle ground. We’ll walk you through all options, including implant-supported dentures, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs.

We accept most dental insurance and offer CareCredit financing for added flexibility.
