Dental Bridges
Replace missing teeth with a natural-looking, fixed bridge that restores your smile and bite.
Overview
Bridge the Gap in Your Smile
A missing tooth affects more than your appearance — it can change the way you chew, speak, and even cause surrounding teeth to shift out of position. Dental bridges are a proven, time-tested solution that literally bridges the gap left by one or more missing teeth, using the adjacent teeth as anchors for a natural-looking replacement.
At Gateway Family Dentistry in Chandler, AZ, Dr. Gailey designs custom dental bridges using high-quality porcelain and ceramic materials that match the color and shape of your natural teeth. The result is a seamless restoration that feels comfortable and looks completely natural.
Bridges are a great option for patients who want a fixed (non-removable) solution without the surgical component of dental implants. During your consultation, Dr. Gailey will discuss whether a bridge, implant, or other option is the best fit for your situation.

Process
What to Expect
Evaluation & Treatment Planning
Dr. Gailey examines the area, takes X-rays, and evaluates the health of the anchor teeth to determine if a bridge is the right solution.
Tooth Preparation
The teeth on either side of the gap are gently reshaped to support the bridge. Impressions are taken and a temporary bridge is placed.
Bridge Fabrication
A dental lab crafts your custom bridge from high-quality materials, matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth.
Final Placement
The permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted for comfort and bite, and cemented into place. You leave with a complete, natural-looking smile.
