Insurance & Payment Info
We strive to help our patients take care of their financial obligations at the time of their appointment. If you have dental insurance, our office will do everything possible to help you understand and optimize your benefits. We realize that insurance can be complex and difficult to understand. As a courtesy, we can complete and immediately submit insurance at the time of your visit. We will work hard to achieve the maximum reimbursement from your insurance company.
Please remember that insurance companies rarely cover all dental care costs. We will not compromise your care based on the restraints of your insurance plan, so we offer many convenient financing options. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and CareCredit. We also have access to reputable healthcare financing institutions. Our administrative staff will be happy to confidentially assist you in selecting the best option for your budget. |

Fixed Bridges
A Stable Solution that Renews Your Smile
If you've lost teeth due to accident, injury, or gum disease, we can create a permanent bridge to restore your solid smile. A bridge not only fills the gap, but it also prevents repositioning of remaining teeth. It can also correct a misaligned bite, improve chewing function and speech articulation, and provide internal structure for the face to give you a more youthful appearance.
What is a Fixed Bridge?
First of all, a bridge is a prosthetic tooth (or teeth) that attaches on one or both sides to teeth prepared with dental crowns. A fixed bridge is permanently joined onto the neighboring abutment teeth (crowned teeth) and consists of three basic units: the false tooth or teeth (called a pontic) and two abutment crowns. The style of bridge we suggest will depend upon the strength and health the abutment teeth, as well as the location of the gap in relation to the rest of your dentition. If healthy adjacent abutment teeth aren't available, a surgically-implanted metal post, known as a dental implant, may offer a solid alternative. For a bridge that replaces many teeth, we may recommend a removable partial denture or implant-supported prosthesis. With proper care, a fixed bridge may last at least 8 to10 years.
If you have questions about crown and bridgework or any other dental prosthetic, call our dental office in Phoenix, AZ. We will be happy to discuss the options and schedule your evaluation.
