Thinking About Bridges?
Consult with Our Top-Rated Dentist in Ventura County
Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is a prosthetic device made of materials such as porcelain, gold, or alloy, and will be attached to the gum line or nearby teeth to anchor the device. It is often considered to be a more cost-effective and durable alternative to other forms of tooth replacement. Because it is implanted directly onto your gum line, there is no need for you to constantly remove the device for cleaning, as is true with a partial denture.
Some of the other benefits that dental bridges offer include:
- Smile restoration
- Easier time chewing and speaking
- Improve face shape
- Better overall dental health

Understanding the Different Types of Dental Bridges
When it comes to dental bridges, there are three main categories: traditional bridges, cantilever bridges and Maryland bonded bridges. Each can be used to address different dental issues.
- Traditional bridges: a traditional bridge can be used to replace a missing tooth by creating a crown for the tooth or placing an implant on either side of the missing tooth.
- Cantilever bridges: a cantilever bridge can be used when there is only one tooth next to the missing tooth. They are not recommended for use in the back of the mouth.
- Maryland bonded bridges: a Maryland bonded bridge can be used to replace a missing tooth by using metal or porcelain wings that bond to existing, adjacent teeth.

I recently went to Dr. Mark for a broken molar repair. Upon arrival I was impressed with the updated office and it's sterile feel. Dr. Mark took my impressions and decided what to do for the repair.

Great guy, great dentist. Dr. Mark does a fabulous job and I would highly recommend him to anyone.- Chris Van Son -
“Best Hygienist”
Hi Mark, your hygienist is great. VERY good bedside manner; was sensitive to my sensitivities with regard to those hook things" she uses to scrape plaque. Let's get together over this implant issue. No hurry, and sooner the better, huh? Would you ask someone there to email me an estimate for the work still to be done, please. We're in our "slow" time, and Vic is asking that we pay some meager attention to budgeting, so...Thanks, and have a great vacation.- Ren Adam -
