Minimally Invasive Front Tooth
Losing a front tooth affects more than just your smile—it can impact confidence, speech, and daily function. Maryland bridges offer a conservative solution to restore your front teeth without extensive dental work. At Luxe Dental Arts in Alvin, TX, we provide custom Maryland bridges that look natural, feel comfortable, and help you regain your full smile confidence.
What is a Maryland Bridge?
A Maryland bridge, also known as a resin-bonded bridge, is a minimally invasive option for replacing missing front teeth. Instead of reshaping neighboring teeth for crowns, this bridge uses ultra-thin metal or ceramic “wings” that are bonded to the back of adjacent teeth with a high-strength dental adhesive. This approach preserves your healthy tooth structure while creating a seamless, natural-looking result.
Typically, Maryland bridges can be placed in just two appointments. During your consultation at Luxe Dental Arts, we’ll evaluate your dental needs and determine if this conservative, non-surgical option is right for you.
Benefits of Choosing 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 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.
