If you're missing one or more teeth, you know how much it can affect your daily life. Eating, speaking, and smiling all become more difficult, and you may even feel self-conscious in social settings.

Dental bridge treatments enhance your oral health, restore a complete smile, and blend naturally with your existing teeth.
Dental bridges offer both functional and cosmetic benefits, restoring oral health and improving confidence:
Most patients with one or more missing teeth can benefit from dental bridges in Stuart. Ideal candidates typically:
Your journey starts with a consultation at our Stuart office. Dr. Sohl performs a thorough evaluation, including X-rays and digital impressions, to determine the best type of bridge for your mouth. Whether you're receiving a traditional bridge, resin-bonded bridge, or implant-supported bridge, we will tailor your treatment to your needs. In many cases, preparation includes reshaping the supporting teeth or planning for implant placement. Temporary crowns or a temporary bridge may be placed to protect your mouth while your permanent restoration is being created.
The procedure typically requires two visits. In the first visit, Dr. Sohl prepares the supporting teeth, takes precise digital impressions, and places a temporary bridge to safeguard the area. Your final bridge, crafted from porcelain or porcelain fused to metal, is created in our dental lab for optimal fit and function. On your second visit, the new bridge is fitted, adjusted, and securely placed with dental cement or implant attachments. Local anesthesia is used to ensure a comfortable experience.
Most patients notice a significant improvement in function and appearance immediately after placement. Recovery is minimal, with most returning to normal activity within a day. To maintain your restoration and overall dental health, follow a consistent oral hygiene routine and visit our office for cleanings and exams every few months. Flossing under the bridge using a threader or water flosser is essential to prevent gum disease and keep supporting teeth strong. With proper care, a dental bridge can last 10–15 years or longer.
The cost of dental bridges in Stuart varies depending on the number of teeth replaced, the materials used (such as porcelain or porcelain fused to metal), and whether implants are part of your treatment. Traditional bridges and implant-supported bridges are priced differently due to the surgical component. Most dental bridge treatments include consultation, temporary crowns, impressions, final placement, and follow-up visits. We work with many dental insurances and offer financing options to help manage treatment costs.
