It’s funny how one missing tooth can sneak into so many moments. You may have to change the way you chew, the way you smile in photos, even the way you laugh. A dental bridge from our dentist in Nesconset can bring ease and balance back to those everyday details.
Plus, at Smith Haven Dental, you’re never just checking a box on a treatment plan. You’re working with neighbors who want the very best for you. We’re here to help you enjoy those little moments again.
Tooth bridges literally bridge the gap left by missing teeth. They’re anchored to your natural teeth or dental implants and fill the space with a prosthetic tooth (or teeth), giving you a complete, functional smile. We offer custom bridges made precisely for your mouth, bite, and lifestyle.
We reshape your supporting teeth to make room for the bridge. Then we take precise impressions for the perfect fit.
We place dental crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge.
If same-day options aren’t available, we may place a temporary bridge until your permanent one is ready.
The process typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on your needs.
Once your final bridge is ready, we place it, check your bite, and make adjustments for a finished smile.
With proper care, most bridges last 10-15 years or even more.

When you’re missing a tooth, it’s completely normal to explore every replacement option to find the one that will feel and look the most natural. Both bridges and Lake Grove dental implants can restore missing teeth, but they work a little differently:
Fast, reliable, and supported by neighboring teeth. Great when you’re looking for a quicker solution with minimal surgery.
Surgically placed into the jawbone for a permanent, standalone solution. Ideal for long-term durability and preserving jawbone structure.
At Smith Haven Dental, we’ll sit down with you, walk you through both options, and help you figure out what truly fits your smile, lifestyle, and goals.
A dental bridge from our St. James dentist does more than simply fill an empty space in your smile. It keeps everything working in harmony. It can:
By addressing missing teeth, you’re investing in your oral health, overall comfort, and self-assurance.
We don’t believe in “hopeless cases.” No matter where you’re starting from, we’ll find a way to help you eat, talk, and smile with confidence. Because every smile deserves a second chance.
You don’t have to power through anxiety. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help you feel calm, relaxed, and in control throughout your visit. It’s safe, quick, and wears off fast, so you can get on with your day.
From same-day crowns to 3D printing, we use the latest tech to make visits faster, easier, and more precise. But don’t worry, we never lose that old-fashioned personal touch.
If a missing tooth has been holding you back, a dental bridge from Smith Haven Dental may be the solution. And with a dental team that treats you like family, getting your smile back on track has never felt easier. Explore your tooth replacement options at our Lake Grove dental office today.
