Most dental offices need two visits and a temporary for a bridge. At Laveen Smiles the entire bridge is completed in one same-day appointment.

Dr. Evans examines the gap, takes X-rays, and confirms a bridge is the right fit.

The area is numbed and the neighboring teeth are shaped to anchor the bridge.
A digital scan designs your bridge, and our Coritec One+ mills it from zirconia in a couple of hours.
Fit and bite are checked, then the bridge is bonded in place. No temporary, no second visit.

Zirconia is one of the strongest materials in dentistry and resists chipping and staining far better than older porcelain-fused-to-metal bridges.
Both are excellent options. An implant replaces the tooth root and does not involve the neighboring teeth, but takes several months to complete. A same-day bridge is finished in one visit, is often less expensive up front, and is a great choice when the teeth next to the gap already need crowns. Dr. Evans will go over both so you can choose what fits your health, timeline, and budget.
Yes. Because we design and mill the bridge in our own office, the prep, scan, milling, and final placement all happen in a single appointment. There is no temporary bridge and no return visit for placement. Plan on a few hours in the chair.
With good home care and regular checkups, a zirconia bridge commonly lasts 10 to 15 years or more. Keeping the gums and anchor teeth healthy is the key to a long-lasting bridge.
Brush twice a day as usual and clean under the replacement tooth once a day with a floss threader, super floss, or a water flosser. We will show you exactly how at your placement visit.
Most dental plans cover a portion of a bridge as a major restorative service, often around 50 percent. We will verify your benefits and give you a clear estimate before treatment. Financing and our in-house membership plan are also available.
