Bridge the Gap for a Confident Smile
Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. At Andrew Sheng Dental, our custom dental bridges are designed to restore the appearance and function of your smile. By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, a dental bridge helps you regain both your smile and oral health, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) anchored by crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap, also known as abutment teeth. The bridge fills the space left by the missing tooth, restoring your smile’s appearance and functionality.
Dental bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Maintaining Your Dental Bridge
Caring for your dental bridge is simple and essential for its longevity. Brush and floss your teeth regularly to prevent plaque buildup and keep the bridge in good condition. We may also recommend using a special floss threader to clean under the bridge. Avoid biting down on hard foods or objects to protect your bridge from damage.

Why Choose a Dental Bridge?
Restores Functionality
Dental bridges restore the ability to chew and speak normally, improving your daily life.
Maintains Your Smile
By filling the gap, dental bridges prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, keeping your smile aligned and healthy.
Natural Appearance
Custom-made bridges match the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless look.
Durable & Long-Lasting
With proper care, dental bridges can last 10-15 years, providing a reliable solution to missing teeth.
Non-Surgical Alternative
Unlike dental implants, dental bridges require no surgery, making them a less invasive option for tooth replacement.
The Dental Bridge Process
Getting a dental bridge is a straightforward procedure that typically involves two visits to our San Pedro office:
Consultation & Preparation
During your first visit, we will take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to design your custom bridge. The adjacent teeth (abutments) will be prepared to securely hold the bridge.

Temporary Bridge & Final Bridge Placement
While your permanent bridge is being crafted, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect the area. After a couple of weeks, we will place the final bridge, ensuring it fits comfortably and matches the natural shape and color of your teeth.
