Beautifully Crafted Dental Bridges to Complete Your Smile
MISSING TEETH? YOU DON’T WANT A DENTAL BRIDGE, YOU WANT TO RESTORE FUNCTION AND HAVE A GREAT SMILE
To properly restore function AND have a great smile, you need to find an excellent cosmetic dentist & amazing dental team to work with.
Whether you need to replace all your teeth or just a few, we can make that happen. See what is possible today with a FREE Consultation!
When you have missing teeth one way to replace them is to have a fixed dental bridge. Like the George Washington Bridge that is anchored on two sides and spans across the Hudson River, a dental bridge is attached to two teeth on either side of the missing tooth with dental crowns on the natural teeth and has a “replacement ” crown attached. This is cemented onto the patient’s natural teeth and looks and feels almost the same as the original tooth. Depending on the condition of the patient’s mouth a dental bridge might consist of three crowns or many crowns joined together.
At Dental Care of Stamford, we understand that a dental bridge is more than just a dental procedure—it’s a crucial step toward regaining the full functionality and beauty of your smile. Our team of specialists is dedicated to providing personalized care that ensures your bridge fits perfectly and looks natural. We take the time to explain your options in detail and answer all your questions, ensuring you feel confident and informed throughout the process.
Our commitment to excellence goes beyond just placing a bridge. We are passionate about the art of creating stunning smiles that enhance your confidence and comfort. With all our experts available under one roof, you receive comprehensive care tailored specifically to your needs, making your journey to a flawless smile seamless and effective.
COUNT ON US TO restore YOUR TEETH'S FUNCTIONALITY AND give YOU A great SMILE.
Just like we have for all our wonderful patients! Below is an example of a patient who was missing a tooth and needed a replacement. We used a dental bridge to restore function, improve their dental health, and enhance their smile.
1. X-ray reveals severe decay, unfortunately leaving the tooth too damaged to be saved.
2. Severe decay developed beneath the existing crown, compromising the tooth's structure
3. Black areas show recurrent decay, emphasizing the need for regular dental check-ups.
4. The area of the missing teeth has been prepped and is now ready for cementing.
5. The bridge is tested in a clay mold of the patient's smile before being placed in the mouth.
6. The bridge fits perfectly and is cemented, giving the patient a beautiful, functional smile.
Here's the truth about dental bridges
- Dental bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, restoring your ability to chew and speak comfortably while enhancing your overall smile.
- Bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural appearance that improves your smile and boosts your confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Questions
Some of the common types of dental bridges include:
Traditional bridges: These are the most common option, and they have one or more false teeth supported by crowns on each side
Maryland bridges: This type of bridge functions by fixing the pontic to only one side of the adjacent teeth, often the back. The adjacent teeth require no filing, making it more conservative
Cantilever bridges: These are usually used when there are healthy teeth on only one side of the gap or missing tooth. This option is not advisable for areas of the mouth that face high stress or pressure, such as the back molars
The dentist will help patients choose the most suitable option for them.
Patients looking to get a dental bridge should prepare for at least two appointments. After the initial appointment, the dentist will prepare the nearby teeth for the crown process. A small layer of the tooth enamel will be removed to connect the bridge structure. The process may take about an hour since the teeth need to be shaped with the utmost precision. The dentist will take impressions of the teeth and provide a temporary bridge to wear before the final bridge is ready.
At the second appointment, the dentist will remove the temporary bridge and place the permanent bridge. This appointment may occur about three weeks after the first appointment to allow enough time to produce a fitting bridgework.
The bridge should feel normal in the mouth after the procedure. The bite should be aligned, but it may take some time to get used to the shape of the bridge. The dentist will recommend eating only soft foods at first until the mouth recovers from any initial sensitivity.
To maximize the lifespan of the bridge, it is necessary to take oral hygiene seriously. Aside from flossing the natural teeth, patients also need to floss under the fake tooth, as well. Flossing can be difficult with a dental bridge, so the dentist might provide special cleaning tools and instructions on how to properly clean the teeth. Regular dental appointments are also important for checkups and cleaning. With proper care, a dental bridge can last up to 10 years or more on average.
A dental bridge is a method of teeth replacement that involves the attachment of dental crowns to abutment teeth. This is an appropriate solution for those who have either one missing tooth or a section of missing teeth. For a fixed bridge, which is when the bridge is supported by natural teeth, the patient must have healthy adjacent teeth, although the dentist can restore damaged teeth with dental crowns.
No, the dental bridge placement process is not an invasive experience. This is in contrast to dental implants, which may require a minor surgical procedure for the placement of the dental implants. The process for a fixed dental bridge that is not supported by a dental implant involves preparing the abutment teeth, placing the dental crowns, and attaching the dental bridge.

Answers to Your Questions
Stamford, CT, named for Stamford, Lincolnshire, England, is located on the Long Island Sound and was a popular place for New Yorkers to build summer homes in the late 1800s. Many loved the area so much that they moved here permanently and commuted to the city by train to work and conduct their business. Just as those new residents found the quaint town of the day to have a unique charm, we join the other Stamford residents of today who love this city for its special flair. Many people find this surprising because New Haven and Bridgeport are the only cities in Connecticut with higher populations than Stamford. Still, its long history has helped it develop into a truly unique modern municipality. Seated about halfway between New York City and New Haven, this city of around 130,000 is considered to be part of the New York metropolitan area, but offers residents more of a hometown feel.
Part of the reason for that small-town charm and comfort level in Stamford is its low crime rate. FBI statistics show that our city is the 16th safest of the 269 cities in the country. This is quite an achievement for an area that is part of the largest metropolis in the country. Crime control is one of the many things that contribute to residents choosing Stamford as their home. Compared with similar-sized cities, both in Connecticut and in the rest of the country, it is rare to find a safe haven like this. There is certainly a direct correlation between the city’s economic growth in recent years and the low crime rate that our citizens enjoy.
Stamford is a thriving economy in and of itself, with the largest financial district in the metropolitan area, aside from Manhattan. As the home of nine Fortune 500 companies, Stamford features one of the most concentrated centers of corporations in the entire country. Norwalk Community College and UConn Stamford are located here, along with several other popular schools, bringing new minds to the city and encouraging the local economy’s growth. Some of the dominant sectors of the current economy include retail, transportation, telecommunications, health care, information technology, tourism, and financial services. There is no other place for our office to make its home with a vibrant urban pulse like this.

To Whom it May Concern,
I have been going to Dental Care of Stamford for 15 years. I had previously been going to a dentist elsewhere in Fairfield county for six years until a filling was overfilled and … More split my moler.
The team at Dental Care is unsurpassed. They combine consummate professionalism with welcoming warmth.
Over the years I have interacted with many there. My first contact was with Dr. Simon, the indefatigable leader of this thriving practice. At every juncture of my evolving needs, Dr. Simon brought together the right team for me: Paula, Mimi, and Doctor Rools, among other highly competent members of the Dental Care team – too numerous to mention. They are like family.
When a more serious need required two surgeries, Dr. Simon conferred with the dental surgeon, Dr. Rools, to formulate my plan. Dr. Rools is one of the most gentle, calming doctors I have ever met. He carefully explained the procedures and invited my husband to join discussions of the operations so that he could answer any questions we had, also attending to my fears.
I feel grateful to live near enough to Dental Care of Stamford to be able to be in their unparalleled care.

I need to give a shout out to 3 amazing people that helped me through an extraction of my Molar. Dr Rools was the man. A beast! He calmly got that dam tooth out with a great bed side manner. But … More he didn’t do it alone… there was dear ‘ole Nelly that provided confidence that all will be ok.. especially the nitrous oxide! Amazing. Lastly there was Mimi.. she was awesome. She stood by my side and even held my hand when they were literally jack hammering my tooth. If felt like a rock quarry in my mouth. But I couldn’t have asked for a better 3 person crew. I hope you never need a tooth extraction .. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy ..( maybe ). But If you do then make sure it’s these 3 superstars ! J

My first time at Dental Care and the experience was so great! Joanne did an amazing job with cleaning and Dr. Patel did my fillings in the front to perfection. Oh and Mimi you did an incredible job with … More budgeting, we worked out my financing so smooth. Thank you so much Mimi, you really made me feel comfortable, customer service was beyond top tier. Finally found a Dental home.
