Restore the function and appearance of your smile with fixed dental bridges at Small Dental. A fixed bridge is a durable and permanent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, bridges are securely anchored in place using adjacent natural teeth or dental implants for support.
Our custom-designed bridges not only fill the gaps left by missing teeth but also help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth, prevent bite issues, and improve your ability to chew and speak with confidence. Crafted from high-quality materials like porcelain or ceramic, our bridges blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a cohesive and natural-looking smile.
We focus on precision and personalization. During your initial consultation, we evaluate your unique needs and develop a treatment plan tailored to your oral health and aesthetic goals. Our experienced team will ensure your fixed bridge is comfortable, functional, and long-lasting.
At Small Dental in Lawrenceville, NJ, we believe in providing comprehensive care that includes advanced restorative treatments through prosthodontics. This specialized area of dentistry focuses on restoring natural teeth or replacing missing ones with solutions like crowns, bridges, and dentures. It is also essential for patients recovering from oral cancer surgery, helping them regain comfort, a natural appearance, and normal oral function. If you have any questions about prosthodontics or need assistance with oral restorations, we welcome you to reach out to our team or explore additional information at ADA.org.

5 Star Review on Google
Even though I am out of network for Dr. Small, I love coming to this practice because the staff treats me like family. My kids grew up at this practice! Meticulous cleaning and detailed explanation of the underlying teeth issues are exceptional.
I highly recommend Dr Kaitlin Small and her friendly, professional staff at Small Dental. My husband and I have gone there for dental visits for many years.
Have been going to this practice every six months since moving to the Princeton area of New Jersey in 1996 and recommend it for perfect dental attention every time.
FAQ’s About Fixed Dental Bridges at Small Dental
What are fixed dental bridges?
Fixed dental bridges are restorative devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are securely anchored to neighboring teeth or dental implants and provide a permanent solution for restoring your smile.
How do fixed dental bridges differ from dentures?
Unlike dentures, which are removable, fixed dental bridges are permanently secured in your mouth. This provides greater stability, functionality, and a more natural feel when speaking and eating.

Bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination. At Small Dental, we focus on using high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while ensuring durability.
Who is a good candidate for a fixed dental bridge?
Candidates for fixed dental bridges typically have one or more missing teeth and healthy surrounding teeth or implants to support the bridge. A consultation with our dental team will determine if this solution is right for you.
