Conservative Front Tooth Replacement
Losing a front tooth can affect your appearance, your confidence, and even how you speak or eat. At Luxe Dental Arts in Beaumont, TX, we offer Maryland bridges—a conservative, non-surgical solution designed to restore your smile naturally and comfortably. Our custom-made Maryland bridges blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth, giving you a beautiful, functional smile without extensive dental work.
What is a Maryland Bridge?
A Maryland bridge, also known as a resin-bonded bridge, is an innovative restoration used primarily to replace missing front teeth. Unlike traditional bridges that require reshaping neighboring teeth for crowns, this restoration uses thin metal or porcelain “wings” that bond securely to the back of the adjacent teeth using a strong dental adhesive.
This approach preserves your healthy tooth structure while providing a secure, natural-looking replacement tooth. The process is quick—typically completed in just two visits—and offers a long-lasting, minimally invasive alternative to more complex procedures like implants.
During your consultation at Luxe Dental Arts, our team will evaluate your smile and discuss whether a Maryland bridge is the right option for your specific needs and goals.
Benefits of Choosing a Maryland Bridge
Choosing a Maryland bridge offers several unique advantages:
- Minimally Invasive: No need for drilling or reshaping healthy teeth.
- Natural Aesthetics: The restoration is color-matched to your existing teeth for a seamless appearance.
- Quick Treatment: Typically completed in just two comfortable appointments.
- Comfortable and Functional: Restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
- Preserves Healthy Teeth: Protects the natural structure of your surrounding teeth.
Because the Maryland bridge is bonded rather than anchored with crowns or implants, it’s ideal for patients who want a simple, effective solution with minimal alteration to their natural teeth.
Is a Maryland Bridge Right for You?
A Maryland bridge is best suited for patients missing a single front tooth with healthy neighboring teeth and gums. It’s an excellent choice for teens or adults who aren’t ready for dental implants or prefer a non-surgical option.
Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) may require additional protection—such as a night guard—to ensure the longevity of their bridge. At Luxe Dental Arts, our team evaluates your bite and overall oral health to design a customized plan that maximizes both comfort and durability.
