Dental Bridges in New York City
Replace missing teeth with custom dental bridges that restore bite balance and close gaps for a complete, natural smile.
Restore Your Smile and Bite Function with Natural-Looking Bridges
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge can help you smile with confidence again. At Teeth By Keith, we offer custom dental bridges in NYC designed to restore your bite, improve chewing function, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Led by Dr. Keith R. Marshall, DDS, a general dentist with over 40 years of clinical experience, our East 32nd Street practice delivers highly personalized care using modern materials, advanced imaging, and restorative expertise.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth or implants. The bridge spans the gap where the missing tooth was, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Dental bridges help:
- Prevent shifting of adjacent teeth
- Restore proper bite alignment
- Improve chewing and speech
- Maintain facial structure and jaw support
- Enhance confidence in your appearance
For patients who are not candidates for dental implants or prefer a non-surgical solution, bridges offer a reliable, long-lasting alternative.
Types of Bridges We Offer
At Teeth By Keith, we offer several types of bridges to meet each patient’s unique needs:
Traditional Fixed Bridges
Anchored by crowns placed on healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth. This is the most common option and offers excellent strength and stability.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Used when multiple teeth are missing. These bridges are supported by dental implants, eliminating the need to crown adjacent healthy teeth.
Explore how we use Cone Beam 3D Imaging for precise implant planning.
Same-Day Bridges
For qualifying cases, we can create and place bridges in a single appointment using advanced digital scanning and in-house fabrication — no temporaries, no messy impressions.

The Bridge Placement Process
- Consultation & Evaluation
Dr. Keith performs a full examination to determine the best restorative plan for your missing tooth. This may include digital X-rays or 3D imaging. - Tooth Preparation
If you're receiving a traditional bridge, adjacent teeth are gently reshaped to support crowns. - Digital Impressions
We use digital scanning (no gooey molds) to create accurate models for your custom bridge. - Temporary & Final Placement
In most cases, a temporary bridge is placed until your final restoration is ready. Then, your permanent bridge is cemented or secured.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Bridges?
You may benefit from a bridge if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth in the same area
- Want a non-removable solution
- Are not ready for or cannot receive implants
- Have healthy teeth or implants to support the bridge
During your consultation, Dr. Keith will explain all your options — including dental implants and tooth-colored fillings — to help you make the best decision for your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental bridges last?
With proper care, dental bridges can last 10–15 years or more. We evaluate the health of your bridge at every comprehensive exam.
Do bridges feel like natural teeth?
Yes. Most patients adjust quickly and find that their bridge feels and functions just like a natural tooth.
Are dental bridges painful to get?
The procedure is generally comfortable and performed with local anesthesia. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort.
Are bridges covered by dental insurance?
Many plans do cover bridges, at least partially. We’re happy to help verify your benefits and file claims on your behalf.
What’s the difference between a bridge and an implant?
A bridge uses adjacent teeth for support, while an implant is surgically placed in the jaw. Both have advantages, and we’ll help you choose the best solution.
