Dental Bridges in Midtown NYC

Close the gap, restore your confidence. Missing teeth can affect more than your smile. They impact your ability to eat, speak, and maintain proper dental alignment. At Rozenberg Dental NYC, Dr. Lana Rozenberg creates custom dental bridges that seamlessly fill gaps, restore function, and give you back a complete, natural looking smile.

About the Treatment

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap where teeth are missing by anchoring artificial teeth (called pontics) to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the space.

At Rozenberg Dental NYC, Dr. Rozenberg uses premium materials including high quality porcelain and advanced ceramics to create bridges that are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Each bridge is custom designed to match your unique tooth color, shape, and bite alignment.

Unlike removable partial dentures, dental bridges are permanently cemented in place, offering a stable, comfortable solution that feels and functions just like your natural teeth. With proper care, a well crafted bridge can last well over a decade.

Bridge Options

Types of Dental Bridges

Dr. Rozenberg offers several types of dental bridges to suit different needs and situations. She will recommend the best option based on your oral health and goals.

01

Traditional Bridge

The most common type, consisting of one or more pontics (artificial teeth) held in place by dental crowns cemented onto the teeth on either side of the gap.

02

Cantilever Bridge

Similar to a traditional bridge but anchored on only one side. Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth.

03

Maryland Bridge

A conservative option that uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth, requiring minimal alteration to existing teeth.

04

Implant Supported Bridge

The strongest and most stable option, supported by dental implants rather than natural teeth. Ideal for patients missing three or more consecutive teeth.

Step by Step

The Dental Bridge Procedure

1

Consultation & Planning

Dr. Rozenberg examines your oral health, takes digital impressions, and discusses the best bridge option based on your specific needs and goals.

2

Tooth Preparation

The abutment teeth (teeth on either side of the gap) are carefully reshaped to accommodate the dental crowns that will anchor the bridge in place.

3

Temporary Bridge

A temporary bridge is placed to protect your prepared teeth and maintain your appearance while your custom permanent bridge is crafted in the lab.

4

Final Placement

Your custom bridge is checked for fit, bite alignment, and color match, then permanently cemented for a secure, natural looking restoration.

Why Choose Us

Why Bridges vs. Other Options?

While dental implants are an excellent option for many patients, dental bridges offer unique advantages. They require no surgery, have a shorter treatment time, and are often more affordable. For patients with healthy teeth adjacent to the gap, a bridge provides a proven, reliable restoration.

Dr. Rozenberg works closely with master dental ceramists to ensure every bridge is crafted with exceptional attention to detail. The result is a restoration that not only functions perfectly but also looks entirely natural.

During your consultation, Dr. Rozenberg will evaluate your specific situation and help you choose between a bridge, implant, or other options based on your oral health, goals, and lifestyle.

Fixed Bridge vs. Removable Dentures

  • Permanently secured — removable dentures can slip or shift
  • No adhesive needed — dentures often require adhesive
  • Brush like natural teeth — dentures must be removed for cleaning
  • Natural speech — dentures may affect speech
  • Comfortable & stable — dentures have a less natural feel

The skill with which she placed my implant has turned an eyesore around. Even more importantly it has given me back a healthy mouth.

So it’s common to have a missing tooth. That doesn’t mean it is comfortable or attractive. Dr. Rozenberg’s placement of my implant solved the comfort and the esthetic issues brilliantly. You can’t challenge her with a cosmetic issue she doesn’t have the right answer for.

I had a front tooth extraction that was broke; to be followed by an implant. I have been a patient for over 25 years. The procedure went great; the temporary tooth installed was gorgeous.
