What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by literally bridging the gap. The bridge consists of artificial teeth called pontics, supported by dental crowns placed on the natural teeth next to the gap (called abutment teeth). Once cemented in place, the bridge becomes a permanent part of your smile. It functions just like natural teeth.
At Best Dental in Richmond, TX, Dr. Jasmine Naderi and Dr. Sonny Naderi design custom, affordable bridges as part of comprehensive restorative dentistry. Each bridge is precisely crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. Made from high-quality porcelain, ceramic, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. With flat-rate pricing so you know exactly what you will pay before any work starts.
Bridges solve multiple problems caused by missing teeth at once. Difficulty chewing. Speech problems. Adjacent teeth drifting out of position. Jawbone deterioration. And gaps that affect your confidence. Whether you are missing one tooth or several consecutive teeth, our affordable dental bridges provide reliable, long-lasting replacement that looks and feels completely natural.
"The 5-year survival rates were 92.9% for veneered densely sintered zirconia, 91.3% for metal-ceramic. The frequencies of material fractures were significantly higher for all-ceramic FDPs compared with those of metal-ceramic FDPs."
This 2025 meta-analysis, the most comprehensive analysis of bridge survival data to date, confirms that modern dental bridges are a highly reliable tooth replacement. Porcelain-fused-to-metal bridges (the type most commonly placed at Best Dental) achieve over 91% survival at five years, while newer zirconia-based bridges perform even higher at nearly 93%. Dr. Naderi selects the right material for each patient’s specific situation, balancing strength, aesthetics, and affordability.

Benefits of Dental Bridges
Replacing missing teeth is not just cosmetic. It protects your oral health, bite, and long-term well-being in ways that compound over time.
Restore Your Smile
Fill gaps with natural-looking teeth. Custom color matching ensures your bridge blends seamlessly. Most people cannot tell which teeth are the bridge.
Full Chewing Function
Eat your favorite foods again without restriction. Missing teeth make chewing inefficient and force other teeth to compensate. Bridges restore normal bite distribution.
Clearer Speech
Missing front teeth affect pronunciation and speech clarity. Bridges remove the slurring or lisping caused by tooth gaps, restoring natural speech patterns immediately.
Prevent Teeth Shifting
Adjacent teeth drift into gaps over time, causing bite problems, crowding, and higher cavity risk. Bridges maintain proper tooth alignment permanently.
Faster Than Implants
New teeth in 2 to 3 weeks versus 3 to 6 months for implants. No surgery or lengthy healing period. A practical, time-efficient solution for missing teeth.
Maintain Face Shape
Missing teeth cause facial muscles to sag over time. Bridges provide the structural support that maintains your natural facial contours and a more youthful appearance.
The Bridge Process
Getting an affordable dental bridge at Best Dental requires two appointments over 2 to 3 weeks. The process is straightforward with minimal discomfort at each stage.
Preparation Appointment

30 to 60 minutesYour bridge may feel slightly unusual for a few days as your mouth adjusts. This is completely normal. Mild temperature sensitivity typically resolves within 1 to 2 weeks. Contact Best Dental if discomfort persists. Minor adjustments easily resolve most issues.
Bridges vs Dental Implants
Both replace missing teeth, but through fundamentally different approaches. Here is an honest comparison to help you decide.
Which Is Right for You?
Affordable dental bridges are the better choice when you want results quickly, the adjacent teeth already need crowns, or you are not a candidate for implant surgery. Implants are typically the smarter long-term choice when adjacent teeth are healthy, preventing bone loss is a priority, or you want a permanent lifetime solution. At Best Dental, both options are flat-priced ($2,850 for a 3-unit bridge or $1,995 for a single complete implant). So the decision is about your clinical situation, not your budget. View our full pricing page.
Dr. Naderi will discuss both options at your consultation, explaining the pros and cons based on your specific situation. For a deeper dive, read our article on dental implants vs dental bridges.
Bridge Care & Longevity
With proper daily care and regular checkups, affordable dental bridges routinely last 15 to 20 years. Protect your investment with these simple habits.
Brush Twice Daily
Soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Clean all bridge surfaces including where it meets the gumline.
Floss Under the Bridge
Use floss threaders, super floss, or a water flosser to clean under the pontic and around abutment teeth daily.
Avoid Hard & Sticky Foods
Ice, hard candy, and sticky caramel can dislodge or damage bridges. Cut corn off the cob rather than biting directly.
Regular Checkups
Visit Best Dental every 6 months for professional cleanings and examination of abutment teeth.
Address Problems Early
Contact Dr. Naderi immediately if the bridge feels loose or uncomfortable. Early intervention prevents costly full replacement.
Do Not Use Teeth as Tools
Never open packages or bite non-food items. Excess force on any angle risks dislodging or cracking the bridge.

💡 Why a bridge now costs less than waiting: Delaying tooth replacement lets adjacent teeth shift (requiring orthodontics later), opposing teeth over-erupt, cavities develop in shifted teeth, and jawbone deteriorate. An affordable dental bridge in Richmond, TX today almost always costs far less than treating the cascade of problems that follow a long-term gap.
