The Life-Changing Benefits Of Dental Bridges
Tooth loss can make eating and speaking a daily challenge. By replacing missing teeth, your dental bridge can restore the function of your smile, allowing you to perform these essential activities without difficulty.
A smile restored with a dental bridge doesn't just provide improved function—it looks much better, too! We will carefully craft your new dental bridge to look entirely natural among neighboring teeth.
Gaps in your bite leave room for existing teeth to shift out of position, which may lead to a need for corrective dental work. Replacing missing teeth with a bridge helps prevent movement and the possibility of further tooth loss.
With good care, your bridge can remain strong and beautiful for 10 years or more. By keeping up with your regular checkups and following our instructions, you can experience many years of valuable benefits.

"Every Time I Go, I'm Treated Like Family" 5-Star Reviews From Our Patients
Laura Peterson
Dr. Hecht’s office offers exceptional care and personalized service. Jackie and the other staff members immediately put you at ease, and you know your family members will be treated as members of their own families. The phones are always answered in a pleasant and professional tone, and the office is impeccably clean. I would easily recommend this office to friends who need dental care. It was worth the trip to the South Shore! :)

Over the years I’ve had minor dental work such as a couple inlay fillings last week as well as major work like a full upper cosmetic rehabilitation. Every time I go I’m greeted and treated like family. My teeth look better than when I was 18 and I can’t recommend this office enough. If you’ve been putting off getting dental work done, replacing missing teeth.... THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!!
View on GoogleKeeping Costs Affordable With Insurance and Financing
The cost of a dental bridge can vary depending on the number of pontics in the restoration, the material used to craft them, and options such as dental implants. Fortunately, most dental insurance providers will cover at least part of the cost of a traditional bridge. Basic insurance does not contribute to the cost of dental implants.
To help our patients manage out-of-pocket costs, we work with several third-party healthcare lenders that can break the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments. We also offer personalized payment plans and in-house financing based on prior credit approval.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a customized solution used in restorative dentistry to replace one to three consecutive missing teeth. The traditional bridge is made of pontics (replacements for natural teeth) held in place by dental crowns placed on neighboring teeth, or abutment teeth. An implant-supported bridge uses dental implants instead of crowns for support.
Our Staten Island, NY, team uses zirconia to craft lifelike dental restorations, ensuring that each pontic and dental crown in your dental bridge will blend in with your natural teeth.
Who Is a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge may be the right solution if you have one to three consecutive missing teeth and want a natural-looking, functional replacement. Ideal candidates typically have:
Good Oral Health – Healthy gums and teeth to support the bridge or dental implants.
Stable Adjacent Teeth or Sufficient Bone Density – Strong teeth or adequate jawbone for an implant-supported bridge.
Commitment to Oral Hygiene – Willingness to brush, floss, and schedule regular dental visits to maintain the restoration.
A Desire to Restore Function and Appearance – Looking to improve your bite, speech, and smile aesthetics.
If you’re unsure whether a bridge or another option is best for you, our Staten Island dentists can evaluate your needs during a personalized consultation.

The Traditional Dental Bridge Timeline
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
After fitting your bridge, your dentist will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your restored smile. Here are some helpful tips that every patient who chooses a dental bridge should know:
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Regular brushing and flossing are key to preventing your bridge from failing. Without proper care, the abutment teeth underneath your dental crowns can decay. And although dental implants cannot decay, they can fail due to gum disease. Thoroughly brush twice a day and use a floss threader to maintain your bridge and oral health.
Schedule Regular Checkups
It is important for everyone to receive regular dental care, but especially so for patients with dental restorations. Schedule regular appointments at our Staten Island office so your dentist can provide a thorough cleaning and check the stability of your bridgework.
