Bridges in Katy, TX

A missing tooth affects more than your smile — it can shift the way you bite and chew. A dental bridge fills that gap with a custom-made replacement tooth anchored securely to the teeth on either side.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A bridge uses crowns placed on the healthy teeth next to a gap to support a false tooth (or teeth) in between, “bridging” the space left by a missing tooth. It’s a fixed solution — unlike a removable partial denture, a bridge stays in place and is cared for just like your natural teeth.

Benefits of a Dental Bridge

Fills the gap left by a missing tooth so eating and speaking feel natural again
Helps prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of position
Stays fixed in place, rather than being removable
Is custom-shaded to blend with your smile

The Bridge Process

Dr. Nalwala prepares the supporting teeth on either side of the gap
A digital scan captures the exact shape needed for a natural fit
A temporary bridge protects the area while your custom bridge is made
Your permanent bridge is fitted, checked, and adjusted for comfort

If you are missing several teeth or need a removable option, dentures may be a better fit — we’ll walk through both during your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a bridge better than a denture?

Each has its place. A bridge is fixed and works well for one or a few missing teeth next to healthy ones; dentures may suit larger gaps. Dr. Nalwala can help you decide.

How do I care for a dental bridge?

Brush and floss around a bridge just as you would your natural teeth, using a floss threader or water flosser to clean underneath it.
