Gentle Front Tooth Replacement
Losing a front tooth can impact your appearance, confidence, and even your ability to speak or eat comfortably. At Luxe Dental Arts in Missouri City, TX, we provide Maryland bridges—a conservative, non-surgical solution that restores your smile naturally and comfortably. Our custom-designed Maryland bridges blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, giving you a beautiful, functional smile without extensive dental work.
Understanding Maryland Bridges
A Maryland bridge, also called a resin-bonded bridge, is a modern dental restoration primarily used to replace missing front teeth. Unlike traditional bridges that require reshaping neighboring teeth for crowns, a Maryland bridge uses thin metal or porcelain “wings” that are bonded to the back of adjacent teeth with a strong dental adhesive.
This technique preserves your healthy tooth structure while providing a secure, natural-looking replacement tooth. The procedure is typically completed in just two visits and offers a long-lasting, minimally invasive alternative to more complex options like implants.
At your consultation at Luxe Dental Arts, our team will assess your smile and determine if a Maryland bridge is the right solution for your specific needs and goals.
Advantages of a Maryland Bridge
Opting for a Maryland bridge provides several distinct benefits:
- Minimally Invasive: No drilling or reshaping of healthy teeth required.
- Natural Appearance: Color-matched to your existing teeth for a seamless look.
- Quick Treatment: Usually completed in just two comfortable appointments.
- Functional and Comfortable: Restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
- Protects Healthy Teeth: Preserves the natural structure of adjacent teeth.
Since the Maryland bridge is bonded rather than supported by crowns or implants, it’s an ideal choice for patients seeking a simple, effective solution with minimal impact on their natural teeth.
Could a Maryland Bridge Be the Right Choice for You?
A Maryland bridge is ideal for patients missing a single front tooth with healthy neighboring teeth and gums. It’s an excellent option for teens or adults who aren’t ready for dental implants or prefer a non-surgical solution.
Patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism) may need extra protection, such as a night guard, to ensure the bridge lasts. At Luxe Dental Arts, our team assesses your bite and overall oral health to create a personalized plan that maximizes both comfort and durability.
