Missing teeth can affect your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. At Carey V. Lasley, D.D.S., we offer custom dental bridges to replace missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of your smile. Our bridges are designed to be durable, natural-looking, and long-lasting, helping you regain full dental function and confidence.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or dental implants. It fills gaps, prevents remaining teeth from shifting, and restores proper bite alignment.
- Restores a full, functional smile
- Prevents shifting of surrounding teeth
- Improves chewing, speech, and facial structure
- Provides a long-lasting, natural-looking solution
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
1. Traditional Dental Bridges

2. Implant-Supported Bridges

- Prevents bone loss by stimulating the jawbone
- Best option for long-term durability and stability
3. Cantilever Bridges
- Used when only one natural tooth is available for support
- Less common but effective in specific cases
- A great solution when back teeth are missing

The Dental Bridge Process
Getting a custom dental bridge at Carey V. Lasley, D.D.S. is a straightforward and painless process:
- Consultation & Smile Evaluation – We assess your missing teeth and recommend the best bridge option.
- Tooth Preparation (if needed) – Adjacent teeth may be reshaped to support the bridge.
- Impressions & Temporary Bridge – Custom impressions ensure a perfect fit, and a temporary bridge is placed for protection.
- Custom Bridge Fabrication – Your permanent bridge is created for optimal comfort and aesthetics.
- Final Placement & Adjustments – The bridge is securely bonded for a natural feel and long-term durability.
How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?
With proper care, dental bridges can last 10-15 years or more. To ensure longevity:
- Brush & floss daily to maintain gum and tooth health
- Avoid chewing on hard foods (ice, hard candy) that could damage the bridge
- Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor the bridge’s condition
