Dental Bridges in Woodbridge, VA
Replace Missing Teeth with a Natural-Looking Bridge
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth in a row.
The replacement teeth, called pontics, are held in place by dental crowns on the healthy teeth on each side of the gap, or by dental implants when there aren’t healthy teeth to support them.
If you’re considering a dental bridge in Woodbridge, VA, our team will custom-make yours to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth, so it looks and feels like part of your smile.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
- NFills the gap left by one or more missing teeth
- NRestores comfortable chewing and clear speech
- NKeeps nearby teeth from shifting out of place
- NSpreads bite pressure evenly to protect your natural teeth
- NCustom-shaded to blend in with your smile
Types of Dental Bridges
The right bridge depends on how many teeth are missing, where the gap is and the health of the surrounding teeth. We’ll recommend the option that fits your smile best.
Traditional Bridge
The most common type of bridge. Replacement teeth are held in place by crowns on the healthy teeth on both sides of the gap. It’s strong and reliable, making it a good fit for back teeth that handle heavy chewing.
Maryland Bridge
A conservative option often used for front teeth. The replacement tooth is attached with small wings bonded to the back of the neighboring teeth, so little to no reshaping of those teeth is needed.
Cantilever Bridge
Used when there’s a healthy tooth on only one side of the gap. The bridge is supported by a single crown, so it works best in areas of the mouth that take less bite pressure.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Anchored by dental implants instead of natural teeth. It’s the most stable option when several teeth in a row are missing, and it doesn’t require crowns on your healthy teeth.

Materials to Fit Your Smile
Our team works with trusted dental labs to create bridges that fit precisely and match your natural teeth. We’ll help you choose the material that best suits the location of the gap, your bite and your budget.
- NPorcelain: the most natural-looking option, ideal for front teeth
- NZirconia: very strong and tooth-colored, great for back teeth
- NPorcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): combines strength with a natural appearance
- NGold: highly durable and gentle on the opposing teeth
Our Woodbridge Dental Bridge Process
- 1. Consultation and exam: We examine your teeth and gums, take X-rays and discuss the bridge type and material that fit your needs.
- 2. Preparation and 3D scan: We gently prepare the supporting teeth and take a precise iTero 3D scan instead of traditional impressions. You'll leave with a temporary bridge.
- 3. Fitting your new bridge: Once your custom bridge arrives from the lab, we check the fit, bite and shade, then bond it securely in place.
- 4. Follow-up care: We check your bridge at your regular visits and show you how to clean around it, so it lasts for years.
Most traditional bridges are completed in two visits, about 2-3 weeks apart. Implant-supported bridges take longer, since the implants need time to heal first. Ready to fill the gap? Book your consultation today.

Dental Bridge FAQs
Got more questions? We’re a phone call away: (703) 580-8181
How much does a dental bridge cost?
The cost depends on how many teeth are being replaced, the type of bridge and the material you choose. Many PPO plans cover part of the cost, and our in-office discount plan can help if you don’t have insurance. We’ll give you an upfront estimate before treatment, so there are no surprises.
Is a dental bridge or a dental implant better?
Both are excellent ways to replace missing teeth. A bridge is usually faster and relies on the neighboring teeth for support. An implant replaces the tooth root, doesn’t affect nearby teeth and can last a lifetime with good care. We’ll help you compare both options at your consultation.
How long do dental bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, most bridges last 10 to 15 years, and often longer. Avoiding very hard or sticky foods helps protect your bridge.
Does getting a dental bridge hurt?
No. We numb the area before preparing the supporting teeth, so you’ll feel pressure but not pain. Some patients have mild sensitivity for a few days. If you’re anxious, ask us about our sedation options.
How do I care for my dental bridge?
Brush twice a day and clean under the bridge daily with a floss threader, interdental brush or water flosser. Regular cleanings and checkups help keep your bridge and supporting teeth healthy.
What happens if I don't replace a missing tooth?
Over time, nearby teeth can shift into the gap, which can affect your bite, make cleaning harder and put extra stress on your remaining teeth. Replacing the tooth early helps prevent these problems.
