Take a Closer Look at Our Dental Bridges
Lucie Dental uses zirconia to make dental crowns and dental bridges that are as natural-looking as they are strong.
Restore Your Smile
Missing teeth can cause more problems than just poor appearance. Patients with gaps can often find speaking and chewing difficult. Dental bridges fill in gaps with replacement teeth, restoring your smile and allowing you to eat and speak comfortably. Dr. Scott Azari in Port St. Lucie, FL, can provide you with a beautiful custom bridge.
Enhance Your Smile
Dental bridges are an effective solution to replace one tooth or multiple consecutive teeth. A traditional fixed bridge consists of two dental crowns supporting one or more replacement teeth between them. You can also choose to receive an implant-supported bridge that will not require crowning the teeth on either side of the gap.

Restore Your Dental Function
Lucie Dental is committed to providing the residents of Port St. Lucie and beyond with effective dental care that improves function and allows them to smile proudly. Dr. Scott Azari is a board-certified dentist who can restore your ability to eat and speak confidently. He offers different solutions to fill the gaps in your smile. If you think you could benefit from a traditional or implant-supported dental bridge, we invite you to request a consultation at our Port St. Lucie office.
With Dental Bridges Port St. Lucie patients who want either a traditional bridge or a bridge supported by dental implants must first meet certain requirements. They must be:
The abutment teeth that will support the pontic (flase tooth) must be strong and free of decay. Your mouth must be free of gum disease and you must follow a good oral hygiene routine. If you have conditions like gum disease that require treatment, our dentist can review your options with you.
Creating your dental bridge will take a few weeks and healing from dental implant placement surgery can add several months to your treatment timeline. Patients must understand the process and be committed to their treatment before choosing this life-changing dental solution.
If you need to undergo dental implant placement surgery, you must be healthy enough to recover from it. During your consultation for Dental Bridges Port St. Lucie dentist at Lucie Dental, Dr. Scott Azari, will inquire about your dental and medical histories before proceeding with treatment.
At our practice in Port St. Lucie Dental Bridge candidacy won't cost you a thing. Our experienced dentist will gladly examine your teeth to determine if a dental bridge is the right solution for you, and this initial assessment comes at no charge.
Dr. Scott Azari will determine if you’re a good candidate for a dental bridge. He’ll answer all your questions and develop a plan for placing the dental bridge. He’ll also determine the size of your bridge. Dental bridges can generally replace one tooth or up to four missing teeth in a row.
During this first appointment, our dentist will take state-of-the-art digital impressions. This process is much more comfortable for patients than traditional impressions and makes the process of developing your dental bridge quicker and more accurate.
After your impressions, we will send your information to a lab where the dental bridge will be created. We offer zirconia dental bridges made of premium ceramic material that blends in with the enamel of your natural teeth.
In a few weeks, you’ll have your second appointment. Our dentist will shape the abutment teeth on either side of the gap to prepare them for crowns. The crowned abutment teeth will provide support for the dental bridge. Your permanent bridge will be cemented to the prepared teeth, giving you a full, functional smile.
Exploring Tooth Replacement Options
With traditional bridges, the replacement teeth (pontics) are secured in place using the adjacent natural teeth. With implant-supported bridges, the pontics are supported by dental implants. A dental implant is a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. Dental Bridges require at least two implants to support the pontics.
Although this option requires oral surgery and several months of recovery as the implant fuses to the bone tissue, it provides two distinct benefits. First, it eliminates the need to crown healthy teeth. Second, implants are the only restorative treatment that can prevent bone atrophy after tooth loss. Our dentist can help you determine which option is best for your needs.
