Why Choose Fixed Bridges at Total Family Dental Group
Getting a fixed bridge means securing a dental restoration that’s anchored firmly to your existing teeth or implants. This not only looks natural but also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.

When you come in, we’ll assess your oral health and discuss whether a traditional bridge, cantilever bridge, or implant-supported bridge suits your needs best.

FAQs
What is a fixed dental bridge?
A fixed bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. It’s permanently cemented in place and cannot be removed by the patient.
How long do fixed bridges last?
With proper care, fixed bridges can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits at Total Family Dental Group help extend their lifespan.
Is the procedure for getting a fixed bridge painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the preparation and placement of a fixed bridge. Local anesthesia is used to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the process.
Can a fixed bridge improve chewing and speaking?
Yes, replacing missing teeth with a fixed bridge restores your bite and helps improve speech clarity. It also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting, which can affect how you chew and speak.
How do I care for my fixed bridge?
Brushing twice daily, flossing around the bridge, and visiting Total Family Dental Group in Torrance, CA regularly are key to keeping your fixed bridge in great shape. We can provide specific cleaning tips to protect your restoration.
