Dental Bridges in Scottsdale, AZ: Filling Gaps and Restoring Smiles
At The Mini Dental Implant Centers of America in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dr. Seerat Mann and Dr. Todd Shatkin offer dental bridges to help fill the gaps left by missing teeth. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, a dental bridge is a durable and natural-looking solution that restores both function and appearance.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed dental prosthetics that replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between your existing teeth. The bridge is anchored to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants, and a false tooth (or teeth) is placed in the gap to restore your smile.
At The Mini Dental Implant Centers of America, Dr. Mann and Dr. Shatkin create custom bridges designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a solution that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Why You Might Need a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges are an excellent option for patients who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease. Replacing missing teeth is crucial for several reasons:
1. Restoring Function
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food or speak properly. A bridge restores your ability to eat and speak with ease.
2. Preventing Teeth from Shifting
When there’s a gap in your smile, the surrounding teeth can shift out of place, leading to bite problems and further dental issues. A bridge prevents this by keeping your teeth in their correct positions.
3. Maintaining Facial Shape
Missing teeth can cause your facial structure to collapse or appear sunken. A bridge helps maintain your facial shape by filling the gap.
4. Enhancing Your Smile
A dental bridge restores the appearance of your smile, giving you confidence in your looks.

Our Process for Dental Bridges
At The Mini Dental Implant Centers of America, Dr. Mann and Dr. Shatkin will thoroughly evaluate your oral health and discuss your options for replacing missing teeth with a bridge. The process generally involves:
