Front Tooth Restoration – Minimally Invasive
Losing a front tooth can affect your smile, confidence, and speech. Maryland bridges offer a conservative solution to restore front teeth. At Luxe Dental Arts in Pearland, TX, we create custom bridges that look natural, feel comfortable, and restore your smile.
Understanding Maryland Bridges
A Maryland bridge, also called a resin-bonded bridge, is a minimally invasive way to replace a missing front tooth. Instead of altering neighboring teeth for crowns, it uses ultra-thin metal or ceramic “wings” bonded to the back of adjacent teeth with strong dental adhesive. This technique preserves healthy tooth structure while delivering a natural-looking result.
Maryland bridges can often be completed in just two appointments. During your consultation at Luxe Dental Arts, we’ll assess your dental needs and determine if this conservative, non-surgical option is right for you.
Advantages of a Maryland Bridge
- 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.
Patients with habits such as teeth grinding (bruxism) may need additional protection to ensure the longevity of their Maryland bridge. At Luxe Dental Arts, we assess your oral health and bite to provide personalized recommendations that safeguard your restoration and enhance its durability.
Is a Maryland Bridge the Right Choice for You?
A Maryland bridge is ideal for patients missing a single front tooth who have healthy adjacent teeth and gums. It’s a great 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 additional protection, such as a night guard, to help preserve the bridge. At Luxe Dental Arts, our team assesses your bite and overall oral health to create a personalized plan that ensures both comfort and long-lasting results.
