Dental Bridges · Rocklin, CA
Close the gap from a missing tooth with a fixed, natural-looking bridge.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a custom replacement tooth to crowns on neighboring teeth or implants. It restores your bite, prevents shifting and completes your smile.
Is dental bridges right for you?
It's often a great fit if you:
- One to three missing teeth in a row
- Patients who prefer not to have implant surgery
- Replacing an old, failing bridge

FAQs
Dental Bridges questions, answered.
Is a bridge or an implant better?
Implants don’t require reshaping neighboring teeth and protect bone, but bridges are faster and a great fit for some patients. We’ll walk through both.
How long does a bridge last?
With good hygiene, bridges often last 10–15 years.

I’ve been going to this office for a couple of years now and it’s been the best experience I’ve had with dental services. Giampiero does my cleanings and x-rays every 6 months and he is always so diligent and kind. He makes sure I am comfortable and always gives me great tips.
