Dental bridges are a transformative solution for individuals dealing with the discomfort and inconvenience of missing teeth. At Hudson Dental Edge in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, we specialize in crafting custom dental bridges that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by crowns affixed to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. This procedure not only fills the gap left by missing teeth but also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting, ensuring a stable and healthy bite. Our skilled team, led by Dr. Kitty Thomas, utilizes the latest technology and materials to ensure that your dental bridge is durable, comfortable, and visually appealing, giving you the confidence to smile again.
Choosing dental bridges can significantly enhance your quality of life. Missing teeth can lead to a host of issues, including difficulty in chewing, speech impediments, and a decline in self-esteem. Dental bridges address these concerns by providing a sturdy and permanent solution that mimics the look and feel of your natural teeth. Furthermore, they help maintain the structure of your face by preventing bone loss in the jaw, which often occurs when teeth are missing. With dental bridges, you can enjoy your favorite foods without hesitation and speak with clarity and confidence. The procedure is typically less invasive than other restorative options, such as implants, and offers a quicker recovery time, making it an ideal choice for many patients.
Dr. Thomas is passionate about helping her patients to feel confident and happy with their smiles. She knows that many people don’t like visiting the dentist, which is why she works hard to provide excellent, compassionate care and positive experiences for each of her patients.
A dental bridge can last over a decade with proper care and maintenance.

Dental bridges restore full functionality to your mouth, allowing you to chew and speak with ease. By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, they prevent undue stress on your remaining teeth and jaw.
Customized to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, dental bridges enhance your smile's appearance. They provide a seamless look that boosts your confidence and makes social interactions more enjoyable.
A dental bridge prevents adjacent teeth from shifting into the empty space, which can lead to misalignment and bite issues. This helps maintain the integrity of your dental structure and overall oral health.
Your journey to a complete smile begins with a thorough consultation at Hudson Dental Edge. Dr. Kitty Thomas will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental bridges are the right solution for you. This appointment involves a detailed examination, including X-rays and impressions, to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
During the next visit, the teeth adjacent to the gap will be prepared to receive crowns. This involves reshaping these teeth to ensure a perfect fit for the bridge. Impressions of your teeth are then taken to create a model for your custom bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
Once your custom dental bridge is ready, you’ll return to our Englewood Cliffs office for fitting. Dr. Thomas will ensure the bridge fits comfortably and aligns properly with your bite. Adjustments are made as necessary to achieve optimal comfort and function. Once satisfied with the fit, the bridge is permanently cemented into place, restoring your smile and functionality.
