Overcome Your “Gappy” Smile with Beautiful and Functional Dental Bridges
Have you lost one or a few teeth because of an accident, decay, or other reasons? Fixed dental bridges in Homewood, Illinois, provide an effective, non-surgical solution to missing teeth. At Park Avenue Dental Care, Drs James Kreuz, Gregory Duffner, and Alexander J. Dolinar offer custom-crafted bridges that restore your smile’s function and aesthetics with near perfection. Visit our office today and rediscover your beautiful smile with high-quality bridges that last.
How does a dental bridge work?
A traditional dental bridge uses a series of crowns to span the gap left by one or multiple missing teeth. A bridge uses the surrounding teeth as anchors and always remains fixed. Although dental bridges are artificial, they are created with life-like materials for a seamless appearance. Many patients describe dental bridges as an extension of the existing teeth.
Dental bridges are an effective alternative to dental implants. They are firmly secured in the mouth, restoring your chewing and biting power. When expertly placed, dental bridges feel and work like natural teeth.
How are dental bridges placed?
Our team places traditional bridges over two appointments. First, the dentist will prepare the support teeth by reshaping the enamel to accommodate dental crowns. Then, we take digital scans of your teeth and send the digital images to our partner lab to custom-create your bridge. In the meantime, we’ll protect your prepped teeth with provisional restorations.
During the second visit, we’ll try your bridge and make several adjustments to achieve optimal fit and alignment. Once everything feels right, we’ll secure your bridge with durable adhesives. It takes a few days/weeks to adjust to your restoration, but before long, it will feel like a seamless, natural part of your smile.

Dental bridges are more than getting your teeth back. With Homewood Dental Bridges, everything feels refreshed, from confident smiles to comfortable chewing.
Here are the benefits of dental bridges.
- Natural aesthetics: We fabricate your bridges with the finest materials. They look realistic and virtually indistinguishable from other teeth. Our dental bridges look so natural that they can replace teeth in the front without obvious signs of dental work.
- Durability: They are crafted from resilient materials that last many years with proper upkeep.
- Stabilize remaining teeth: Dental bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth to prevent the nearby teeth from shifting.
- Enhanced oral function: Dental bridges restore your ability to speak clearly and chew most of your favorite foods.
- Stabilize your facial features: When you lose teeth, the jawbone and surrounding facial muscles shrink, leading to a sunken-in, aged appearance. A well-crafted dental bridge fills those gaps and restores your face’s natural shape and structure for a youthful appearance.
- Quick, non-surgical solution: Bridges are typically quicker to complete than implants and don’t require surgery. Bridges are ideal for those seeking a faster fix for missing teeth.
