Bridge the Gap—Literally
Tooth loss happens, but it doesn’t have to define your smile. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using crowns on either side of the gap as anchors. The replacement tooth or teeth, called pontics, fill the space, creating a seamless and natural look. Our dentist tailors every treatment to the patient’s needs. Whether you lost a tooth to decay, trauma, or gum disease, Dr. LeMonnier designs a bridge that looks and feels just like your natural teeth.
Patients choose bridges because they:
- Restore chewing function
- Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting
- Improve speech clarity
- Enhance facial structure
- Provide a fixed solution that doesn’t move like dentures
A Bridge So Smooth, You’ll Forget It’s There
The dentist blends skill and innovation with your comfort in mind. We use cutting-edge digital impressions instead of goopy trays, making the process fast and mess-free. Our CEREC system and 3D printer allow us to design and fabricate your dental bridge with pinpoint accuracy—often on the same day.
We often combine this process with our CBCT scanner and intraoral camera to capture high-definition images of your mouth. These images help the doctor map out every detail of your bite, tooth alignment, and jaw structure for a precise fit.
Once the bridge is ready, the dentist carefully cements it, ensuring comfort, durability, and aesthetics.
