If one or more of your teeth are missing, a dental bridge may be a viable option. A dental bridge consists of prosthetic teeth which serve to bridge any gaps in your smile. When installed, a dental bridge provides a permanent anchor to adjacent and nearby teeth using either a dental implant or dental crown. Like dental crowns, dental bridges are manufactured from durable tooth-like material and produce healthy, natural-looking results.
At Vassey Dental Partners in Peachtree City, GA, we are your source for exceptional quality dental bridges to achieve your desired appearance and oral health.
Dental Bridges for a Great Smile
The process of having a dental bridge installed in your mouth can take anywhere from 2 to 3 visits. During the initial visit, we will perform a complete dental examination to evaluate your teeth, gums, mouth, jaw muscles, and joints.
Afterwards, we will create a treatment plan and design your dental bridge restoration. While your permanent restoration is being made, we may fit you with a temporary dental bridge. At your final visit, we will secure your permanent dental bridge in place. During that time, we will also explain any special care techniques for your dental bridge moving forward.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Other than restoring a natural look to your smile, dental bridges also restore normal facial structure and prevent bone loss in the jaw around the location of the missing tooth or teeth. They also help recover the ability to enunciate and speak normally. Dental bridges restore the ability to chew food normally and efficiently as well.

Options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation.
Follow Up & Long Term Care. Our goal is to take care of any necessary treatment and then to have you on scheduled recall visits to have your teeth cleaned. At this visit, we will monitor your periodontal health, complete periodic exams and annual xrays, so that we can diagnose conservative treatment.
My experience was one of the best experiences ever, the workers are all nice, friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely recommend Vassey good people thank y’all for helping me out with my tooth pain. Sincerely, Khadija Fofanah
Always a wonderful and comfortable experience at Vassey Dental Partners. Their entire staff is just awesome, start to finish. I would never go anywhere else!!!
I’m an Army veteran who has experienced a head trauma. I have a lot of dental issues going on inside of my mouth! I was looking for a dental office who would listen to my concerns and help. Dr. Morgan was excellent! During my consultation, he took the time to understand what issues I was having and explained, in details, my treatment plan. Some of my issues can be solved with easy tasks outside of the dentistry. He suggested massages and physical therapy to help with my TMJ. He also explained what could be causing my sleep apnea and teeth clinching. I totally trust this office with the care of my teeth!
I saw this practice back in 2013 when I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter and I had a tooth abscess on me out of the blue. Of course it was nearly 5pm on a Friday evening, and my dentist at the time was nowhere to be found. Out of desperation I ended up finding Vassey by chance online, and I called their on call number (they are one of the ONLY PRACTITIONERS WITH AN ONCALL NUMBER LISTED!) and within minutes I had a provider calling me back. Keep in mind—I was NOT an established patient, but that did not matter to them at all. I had antibiotics called in, and something for the pain to hold me over until Monday where they had an emergency appointment waiting for me. Turns out, I needed a root canal and they worked with Dr. Brown (who also an excellent endodontist) to get me in that same day. The care they provide here is second to none. Vassey truly takes dentistry beyond a “once every six months” for your annual cleanings and makes it into a relationship. It’s a partnership, and I appreciate the heck out of it!! I was so sad that my insurance changed and I couldn’t swap over to them—but I was finally able to make the move, and I’m never looking back! If you’re new to the area, or if you need a new dentist to call “home”—your search is over. Make the call today 🫶🏻.
Always a great experience. I've been a patient here over twenty five years and would not hesitate to have work done by anyone at this practice. The front desk staff is always a pleasure to deal with. The hygienists take the time to get to know you as a person, not just a patient, and the dentists all go above and beyond to make sure that you are expertly taken care of. Exceptional care from exceptional people.
Always great friendly staff. They have been taking care of my dental needs for over 30 years.

Dental bridges can be traditional or implant supported. Traditional dental bridges are made from a crown (a false tooth top) which is supported by a wire that connects to the two surrounding teeth. An implant-supported bridge uses an implanted post to attach the tooth or teeth in place.
The time it takes to get a dental bridge depends on the type of bridge selected and if the tooth or a part of the tooth has to be extracted. Traditional bridges take a few weeks if no extraction is required, while implant-supported bridges will take months until the final bridge can be installed.
There are four different categories or types of dental bridges. These include traditional and implant-supported, which are the most common, as well as a cantilever and Maryland type. Cantilever types required only one abutment tooth. The Maryland bridge is bonded to the back part of the two abutment teeth.
Implant-supported bridges help to prevent gum and bone loss while also providing a permanent option and better support for the bridge when more than one tooth is being replaced.
This is a multi-step process that is customized for each patient. All patients will need to have a mold to create the porcelain crowns, the posts implanted in the jaw, and time for the bone to fuse with the implants. The patient will then have the temporary crowns removed and the permanent bridge installed.
The implant-supported bridge offers a permanent solution for a missing tooth, prevents damage to surrounding teeth, helps reduce bone loss, and provides a stable, solid surface for chewing.
No, once installed in the mouth, the implant-supported dental bridge is maintained the same way as other teeth. Brushing and flossing on a daily basis is important to avoid staining, which is similar to any other dental work.
