Dental Bridges in Hawthorne, CA

Closing the Gap in Your Smile

When one or more teeth are missing, it can affect your confidence, oral function, and long-term dental health. At Schnierow Dental Care, we restore smiles with custom dental bridges, a reliable solution that fills gaps and helps patients chew, speak, and smile naturally again.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a prosthetic restoration that literally “bridges” the space left by missing teeth. It is anchored to the surrounding natural teeth or dental crowns and supports one or more replacement teeth (pontics). Bridges are a great alternative for patients who may not be ready for dental implants or dentures.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

At Schnierow Dental Care, we personalize every treatment to fit patient needs. Common bridge options include:

  • Traditional Bridges – Supported by crowns on the adjacent teeth.
  • Cantilever Bridges – Anchored on only one side when only a single supporting tooth is available.
  • Maryland Bridges – Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of surrounding teeth for minimal preparation.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges – Anchored by dental implants for superior stability and longevity.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Choosing a bridge to replace missing teeth can provide lasting advantages:

  • Restores chewing and speaking ability
  • Prevents shifting of remaining teeth
  • Maintains facial structure and bite alignment
  • Enhances the appearance of your smile
  • Offers a fixed, durable solution compared to removable prosthetics

The Bridge Placement Process

Your dental bridge treatment is completed in a few visits:

  1. Consultation & Exam – We evaluate your oral health and recommend the best bridge type.
  2. Tooth Preparation – Adjacent teeth are shaped if crowns will be used as anchors.
  3. Impressions/Scans – Digital scans or molds are taken to design your custom bridge.
  4. Temporary Bridge – A temporary is placed to protect your teeth while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
  5. Final Placement – Your permanent bridge is adjusted for fit, comfort, and aesthetics, then securely bonded.

Bridges may also be included as part of a full mouth reconstruction plan for patients with multiple missing or damaged teeth.

How long does a dental bridge last?

With good oral hygiene and regular cleanings and exams, most bridges last 10–15 years or longer.

Is a bridge better than dentures?

Bridges are fixed and feel more natural compared to removable dentures, making them a preferred choice for many patients.

Do dental bridges look natural?

Yes. Our bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in both shape and color.

Can a bridge be used if multiple teeth are missing?

Yes. Implant-supported bridges are an excellent option for patients missing several teeth in a row.

What’s the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A crown covers and protects a single tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants
