Associations and Accreditations
A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the space of a missing tooth. They are permanent solutions for missing teeth, and unlike dentures, they cannot be taken out and put in at will. They are often compared to dental implants, but are unique because they depend on supporting teeth for their structure instead of an implant into the jawbone. The bridge keeps surrounding teeth from moving by filling in the gap, much like how a keystone keeps an arch from collapsing.
If a dental bridge or other restorative solution is recommended by a professional and you choose not to move forward, there are several possible outcomes. It may not have severe consequences for your health, but it often creates ongoing discomfort and inconvenience for many patients. These can include:
There are a number of wonderful benefits to getting a dental bridge. In addition to replacing a missing tooth and restoring the appearance of your smile, you will regain the ability to eat and speak as you normally would. Bridges will help you to maintain your dental health by preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of place. Dental bridges are durable and can last for many years with proper care. This solution is also cost-effective and is typically a more affordable option for patients as opposed to dental implants.
The compassionate team at Vida Dental has the knowledge and training required to help you restore your smile with the cosmetic solution of dental bridges. We’ve been serving patients in the South Austin area since 2016, and are eager to help you too. If you’re curious about dental bridges or another one of our many services, contact us today and we’d be more than happy to assist you.

"I've been seeing Dr. Patel for a few years now because Vida Dental has provided the best dental care I have experienced. He has always been very honest and straight forward with me, I truly feel like he cares about my health more than he does receiving my money. I also trust his knowledge and advice fully. Everyone else on the staff has also always been very lovely and genuine."

"I’ve been seeing Dr. Ryan for years, and wouldn’t trust my teeth with anyone else!! She’s the best dentist I’ve ever had—we’ve done clear care, whitening, cavity filling and cleanings and it’s always a pleasant experience. She cares deeply but is fun. I always enjoy going into the office and literally fly from New York to Austin to see her now! It’s totally worth the trip :)"
