Dental Bridges in Ashburn, VA

A bridge improves the appearance and health of your mouth by covering spaces with a false tooth supported by either your natural teeth, dental implants, or a combination of both. At Joanna Claustro DMD & Associates in Ashburn, VA, Dr. Claustro offers dental bridges with high-quality materials to help give you back your smile. If you have missing teeth, please schedule a consultative appointment with a member of our team to get more information about your treatment options with a custom bridge.

People with missing teeth don't merely have an appearance issue — gaps between the teeth may have a powerful impact on the health of your mouth. The fact is: your mouth is carefully balanced, and missing teeth can affect how well you can use it. Over time, a missing tooth can shift teeth, causing problems with your bite (underbite, overbite, crossbite) and atrophy of the gums and jawbone. To place a bridge, the surrounding teeth must be healthy enough to support the restoration, including sufficient density in the jawbone and gums. During your exam and consultation, Dr. Claustro will assess your gums and jaw to help you choose the best bridge type (traditional, cantilever, Maryland bonded, or resin bonded) and material (porcelain, ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, and metal).
