Dental Bridges in Metairie, LA
Restore Your Smile with a Custom Dental Bridge
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can also impact your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper oral health. At Frost Family Dental in Metairie, LA, we offer natural-looking, long-lasting dental bridges to help you reclaim your smile and confidence.
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a custom dental bridge may be the right solution to restore function and prevent further dental issues.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. The bridge is made up of one or more prosthetic teeth (called pontics) supported by the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the space.
Bridges are custom-designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and functional result.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
✅ Traditional Dental Bridge
This is the most commonly used type of bridge. It is supported by dental crowns placed over the natural teeth (abutments) on both sides of the gap. The crowns anchor the bridge securely in place and restore the strength and function of your bite.
✅ Implant-Supported Bridge
If multiple teeth are missing in a row, an implant-supported bridge may be the best solution. This type of bridge is anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth, providing exceptional stability, strength, and longevity—without putting stress on adjacent teeth.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
✅ Restore the ability to chew and speak comfortably
✅ Maintain natural face shape and prevent bone loss
✅ Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
✅ Improve your smile’s appearance and function
✅ Long-lasting, durable, and custom-fit to your mouth
Is a Dental Bridge Right for You?
A dental bridge may be the ideal solution if you:
Are missing one or more teeth in a row

During your consultation, Dr. Lawrence Frost will evaluate your needs and help you choose between a traditional or implant-supported bridge based on your oral health and long-term goals.
