Dental bridges are a proven solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring the natural beauty of your smile. They are custom-made dental prosthetics that literally bridge the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges are anchored on either side by healthy teeth or dental implants, providing a secure and stable solution. With a dental bridge, you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence again. At RH Dentistry, Dr. Michelle Boecker-Riviere and Dr. Courtney Kleiber use their expertise to provide high-quality dental bridges in Houston, TX and the surrounding areas.

Dental bridges are a reliable and effective treatment that can prevent these issues. They restore the function of your teeth and improve your oral health. Plus, they bring back your confident smile. Dental bridges are a long-lasting solution that can enhance your quality of life.

The Benefits Of Dental Bridges
Restored Functionality
Dental bridges restore functionality to your mouth. With a dental bridge, you can eat and speak as you normally would. They distribute the forces in your bite properly, which is something that missing teeth can't do. You'll be able to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.
Prevents Further Dental Problems
When you have missing teeth, your remaining teeth can shift out of place, leading to misalignment. A dental bridge fills the gap and keeps your other teeth in their correct positions. This prevents further dental problems such as gum disease and tooth decay.
Enhances Your Appearance
A missing tooth can alter your appearance and make you feel self-conscious. Dental bridges help maintain the shape of your face, preventing the sagging that can occur with missing teeth. They also restore your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
Find Out if No prep Veneers are Right for You
If you're looking a minimally invasive treatment to enhance your smile, no prep veneers offer a cutting-edge solution. These are custom-designed to fit seamlessly over your natural teeth—no shaving and often no enamel removal required. No prep veneers deliver a brighter, more balanced smile with minimal impact on your existing tooth structure.
Night Guards
Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common issue that tends to happen at night while patients are asleep. However, night guards can help patients alleviate symptoms of bruxism by creating a barrier between your teeth that protects them from grinding-related damage. Depending on the severity of the case, night guards can be made from several different materials with varying degrees of softness.
TMJ Relief with Botox
If you’re dealing with jaw pain, tension headaches, or teeth grinding from TMJ, Botox could offer the relief you’ve been looking for. We use Botox as a targeted, non-surgical treatment to relax overactive jaw muscles and ease TMJ symptoms. Most patients notice significant improvement in comfort, mobility, and sleep within days. Treatment is quick, comfortable, and performed right here in our office.

The Dental Bridges Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Planning
The first step in getting a dental bridge is a consultation with Dr. Boecker or Dr. Kleiber. They will examine your teeth and determine if a dental bridge is the best solution for you. They will discuss your options and answer any questions you may have.
Preparation and Impressions
The next step involves preparing the teeth that will support the bridge. These teeth are reshaped to make room for the bridge. Then, an impression of your teeth is taken. This will be used to create a bridge that perfectly fits your mouth.
Placement of the Dental Bridge
Once your dental bridge is ready, you'll come back to our office for the final step. The bridge is carefully placed and adjusted to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite. It is then cemented into place, providing a long-lasting solution for your missing teeth.
