Dental Bridges
in Orange, CA
Feel self-conscious about the gap where a tooth used to be? Dental bridges in Orange, CA, fill that space with natural-looking teeth that stay firmly in place. We recommend the bridge that suits your smile best so you can laugh and chew with confidence again.
How a Dental Bridge Fills the Space Left by a Missing Tooth
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a false tooth, called a pontic, held in place by anchors on each side of the gap. On a traditional bridge, those anchors are crowns placed on the healthy teeth next to the space.
An implant-supported bridge rests on dental implants, so the neighboring teeth don't need to be reshaped, and it can replace several missing teeth in a row. Both types stay in your mouth day and night, unlike a removable partial denture. A traditional bridge may not be the best fit if the anchor teeth are weak or affected by gum disease, or if they're healthy and you'd prefer to leave them untouched.
The Benefits of Dental Bridges
Easier Eating
A bridge spreads chewing forces more evenly across your teeth and keeps food from collecting in the empty space after meals.
Clearer Speech
A missing front tooth can change how some words sound, and filling the gap usually helps your speech return to normal.
The Dental Bridges Process
A traditional bridge usually takes two visits, while an implant-supported bridge takes longer because the implants need time to heal first.
Book NowExam & Imaging
We examine the gap and nearby teeth with close-up photos, and a CBCT scan shows the available bone if implants are an option.
Your Choice
We explain the pros, cons and costs of each option, and you can take as much time as you need before deciding on a bridge.
Anchor Preparation
For a traditional bridge, we numb and shape the anchor teeth, while implants are placed in our office and usually heal for a few months.
Scan & Temporary
An iTero scan records the area so a dental lab can make your bridge, and a temporary usually covers the space in the meantime.
Final Fitting
We check the fit and bite before securing your bridge, then show you how to clean under it with a floss threader at home.
Our Difference
Natural Look
We choose the shade with you and shape each replacement tooth to match the size and contour of the natural teeth around it.
Gentle Care
We make sure the area is fully numb before preparing the anchor teeth, and we'll pause whenever you signal for a break.
All Options
We offer traditional bridges, implant bridges, single implants and dentures, so we can recommend what truly fits your mouth.
Implant Planning
Dr. Lee, a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, leads our team in planning implant bridges with CBCT 3D imaging and Nobel Biocare implants.

Call (714) 282-2525Kind and understanding staff. I felt like I was really listened to and given appropriate care without any pressure to do procedures I wasn’t ready for. They fixed my chipped tooth without any pain. Quick and professional. Highly recommend.
★★★★★
I broke a tooth early one morning before work. I called the office as soon as it opened and they were able to fit me in a couple of hours later. I left with a temporary fix and a full treatment plan. Every single member of the staff at Dental Spa of Orange is amazing; kind, patient and going the extra mile to accommodate special needs related to a current medical issue. I feel more valued at this office than I did at my previous dentist of over 20 years!
★★★★★
I’m very pleased with this office. Honesty is important to me, and this office is that. One of my biggest issues that I have come across with dentistry is charging the insurance for work not done or having work done that is not needed. My last dentist stated I needed 6 fillings and 2 crowns. I went for a second opinion here, and not one of that was needed!
★★★★★
I've been going to Dental Spa & Implant Center of Orange a couple of times, they have excellent care, great friendly staff, and a nice clean environment! So far I've had a fair amount of work done here, including a crown, a filing, and cleanings. Dr. Martey saved me from needless procedures recommended by other dentists. He did an amazing job fitting a crown that I was told would require surgical removal of my Gum. He spent hours patiently placing the crown in and customized it so that it fit properly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

★★★★★
I had an anchor installed by Dr Desai. He was able to do all the work without feeling any pain. Most of the time. I require a lot of anesthesia. But after I mentioned that he used a stronger anesthesia and it was the best visit to a dentist that I've ever had.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us at (714) 282-2525 to speak with our team.
Do I really need to replace a missing tooth?
It's usually a good idea, because the teeth beside a gap can drift or tilt into the space over time. The tooth above or below the gap may shift too, which can change your bite and make the area harder to clean. This happens at different speeds for different people, so it's worth discussing early.
What goes into the cost of a bridge?
The cost mainly depends on how many teeth are replaced and whether the bridge rests on natural teeth or implants. Any treatment needed first, such as an extraction or bone graft, adds to the total, and your insurance affects your share. You'll get the full amount before work begins, and financing options can spread payments out with up to 6 months interest-free.
Is a bridge covered by dental insurance?
Often in part, since most plans treat a traditional bridge as major work, while coverage for implant-supported bridges varies more. If your coverage is through Tricare, Delta Dental or a Connection Dental plan, we're in network. We'll check your bridge benefits before you commit to treatment.
How long do dental bridges last?
Many bridges last for years with daily cleaning and regular checkups. Cleaning under the false tooth matters most, since decay or gum disease in the anchor teeth is a common reason bridges fail. If your bridge ever feels loose or food starts catching around it, call us so we can check it.
Should I get a bridge, an implant or a partial denture?
The best choice depends on the health of your teeth, gums and bone. A bridge is often quicker and makes sense when the neighboring teeth already need crowns, while an implant leaves those teeth untouched and helps maintain the jawbone but needs healthy bone and a few months of healing. A partial denture usually costs less up front, though it comes out at night.
