Why Choose Park City Dentistry for Dental Bridges?
- Custom-Crafted to Match Your Natural Smile

- Focused on Long-Term Comfort and Oral Health
An empty space in your smile rarely stays hidden for long. It quickly finds its way into everyday moments, reminding you it's there when you're taking photos with family or catching yourself covering your laugh before it has the chance to escape.
Dr. Cody Calderwood and the Park City Dentistry team believe replacing your smile's empty space should give you more than just another tooth to chew with. It should give you one less thing to think about when you're just busy being you. That's why every dental bridge we create is a bridge back to the version of you that laughs without thinking, helping you feel like yourself again, naturally and completely.
Every Tooth Has a Purpose
A missing tooth is never just about your gap. It's about the way the rest of your mouth starts to lean into that emptiness, searching for the support that used to be there. The truth is your teeth are more social than you might think. They depend on their neighbors to stay in line. When one goes, the others start to wander, tilting and shifting in ways they were never designed to do.
You might not notice it today or tomorrow, but over time, chewing your favorite foods becomes harder, and the extra strain can leave your jaw feeling fatigued. Before long, your smile starts to feel like a puzzle with missing pieces.
Putting Your Smile Back Together
A custom dental bridge is a way to tell your smile that it's safe to stay exactly as it is. It quite literally "bridges" the gap, using your healthy teeth on either side or dental implants for support. Every bridge is also created specifically for your unique smile, blending with your surrounding teeth in both shape and color.
Once it's in place, you'll be able to smile with greater comfort and protect the long-term health of your bite. If you're missing a single tooth or several teeth in a row, Dr. Calderwood will recommend the specific type of bridge that best suits your needs and your goals for oral health.
Finding The Right Dental Bridge For You
Your smile is unique, so the way you replace your missing tooth should be too. The location of your gap and the condition of your surrounding teeth all play a role in finding the right bridge for your smile.
Traditional Dental Bridges
If the teeth neighboring your gap are healthy and strong, they can serve as anchors for your dental bridge. Your custom bridge is crafted from durable, natural-looking materials chosen to withstand everyday chewing while blending seamlessly with your smile. Once secured, it restores your gap with a tooth that looks and functions much like your natural one. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, your bridge can provide dependable results for years.
Implant-Supported Dental Bridges
If you're missing several teeth or you're looking for added stability, an implant-supported bridge may be a better fit. Instead of relying on your neighboring teeth for support, your bridge is anchored to dental implants placed within your jawbone. This creates a strong foundation while helping preserve the bone beneath your missing teeth. If this option is right for you, you'll enjoy a restoration designed to feel stable and look natural.
Bridging The Gap To Your Smile
- We Get To Know Your Smile: Every dental bridge visit begins with understanding your smile. Dr. Calderwood will examine your teeth and determine whether a traditional or implant-supported bridge is the right fit for you. Once your treatment plan is in place, detailed impressions of your teeth are taken so your custom bridge can be crafted to fit comfortably and blend naturally.
- We Create A Secure Foundation: When your bridge is ready, it'll be carefully secured using the approach that's best for your smile. For some of our patients, the bridge is attached to dental crowns placed on the healthy neighboring teeth. For others, it's supported by dental implants. Dr. Calderwood will recommend the design that provides the greatest comfort and long-term success for your unique needs.
- We Help You Enjoy a Complete Smile: Once your bridge is in place, you'll leave with a smile that's designed to look natural and function comfortably. Everyday moments become easier again. With good oral hygiene at home and regular dental exams and cleanings, your bridge can continue supporting your smile for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the downside of having a dental bridge?
Dental bridges are an excellent way to replace your missing teeth, but they aren't the right solution for everyone. Traditional dental bridges rely on the healthy teeth beside your gap for support, which means those teeth must be prepared before the bridge is placed. During your consultation, Dr. Calderwood will explain whether a dental bridge or another tooth restoration option is the better fit for your smile.
How much do dental bridges usually cost?
The cost of a dental bridge varies depending on the type of bridge you need, the number of missing teeth being replaced, the materials used, and whether additional treatment is required beforehand. Before treatment begins, our team will provide a personalized treatment plan outlining the expected costs and our available financing options.
Who is not a candidate for a bridge?
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for a dental bridge. If the teeth next to your gap aren't healthy enough to support the restoration, or if you have untreated gum disease, tooth decay, or significant bone loss, those concerns may need to be addressed before you begin treatment.
How long will a dental bridge last?
With good oral hygiene and routine dental checkups, many dental bridges last 10 to 15 years or longer. The lifespan of your bridge depends on factors such as the health of the supporting teeth and how well you care for your smile at home. Regular professional cleanings also help keep both your bridge and the surrounding teeth in excellent condition.
What do dentists use to hold a bridge in place?
The way your dental bridge is secured depends on the type of bridge you receive. Traditional dental bridges are attached to custom dental crowns placed over your healthy teeth on either side of your gap. Implant-supported bridges are attached directly to dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing exceptional stability.
