Dental Bridges in Wylie for a Missing Tooth
A fixed, no-surgery way to close the gap when you're missing one to three teeth in a row.
What is the difference between a bridge and an implant?
A bridge uses your existing teeth on either side of the gap to hold a replacement tooth in place. An implant is a standalone post placed in your jawbone. Bridges are faster and do not require surgery. Implants do not affect neighboring teeth. Dr. Jeong at Willow Family Dentistry can help you decide which option fits your situation.

Dental Bridges
A missing tooth doesn't stay a one-tooth problem for long. The teeth around the gap start to shift, your bite changes, and chewing gets harder on that side. A bridge closes the gap using your existing teeth as anchors, so there's no surgery and no months-long healing period. Dr. Jeong will tell you honestly whether a bridge or an implant fits your case better before you commit to either.

Common questions, answered.
A floss threader or water flosser gets underneath the bridge where a regular floss strand can't reach. Dr. Jeong will show you exactly how at your fitting appointment, so plaque doesn't build up under the false tooth.
