Overview

Enhancing Your Smile with Expert Dental Bridges

At Fresh Smile Dental Studio, we offer dental bridges to replace missing teeth and restore your smile’s natural look and function. Under the expert care of Dr. Elle Belfer, each bridge is custom-crafted to match your existing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Securely bonded to natural teeth or implants, our bridges are durable, comfortable, and designed to blend seamlessly. When done correctly, they are not noticeable at all and become virtually indistinguishable from your real teeth. For those seeking a long-lasting, fixed solution, implant-supported bridges can also be an excellent option. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please call 212-874-3322.

Key Takeaways

Dental bridges restore missing teeth, improve oral function, and enhance your smile.


Dental bridges are a trusted alternative when dental implants or partial dentures aren’t the best option.


Patients can choose from traditional, cantilever, Maryland, or implant-supported dental bridges.


With proper oral care and regular dental visits, bridges can last 5–15 years or longer.

When Is a Dental Bridge Recommended?

A dental bridge is typically recommended if you’ve lost one or more teeth and the remaining teeth are healthy enough to support the restoration. Dr. Belfer may suggest a bridge instead of an implant when:

  • Bone density is insufficient for implant placement
  • You want a faster, non-surgical restoration
  • You prefer a fixed option over removable partial dentures

Unlike removable dentures, bridges offer a secure and natural-feeling solution for chewing, speaking, and smiling confidently.

Types of Dental Bridges

We offer several types of bridges to suit different needs:

  1. Traditional Bridges – The most common type, using crowns on both sides of the gap with a false tooth (pontic) in the middle.
  2. Cantilever Bridges – Used when only one adjacent tooth is available to support the bridge.
  3. Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridges – A metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of existing teeth, preserving more natural tooth structure.
  4. Implant-Supported Bridges – Anchored to dental implants for maximum strength, stability, and longevity.

Dr. Belfer will recommend the most suitable type based on your dental health and goals.

The Dental Bridge Process

Getting a dental bridge usually takes two to three visits:

  1. Consultation and Exam: Dr. Belfer evaluates your teeth and discusses the best options.
  2. Tooth Preparation: The supporting teeth are reshaped, and impressions are taken. A temporary bridge is placed.
  3. Final Placement: After about two weeks, your custom bridge is fitted, adjusted, and permanently secured.

This process ensures a comfortable fit and natural-looking result with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

After a long search and a bad experience I am so lucky to find Dr.Belfer recommended to me by Dr Levy who retired. Dr Belfer is a wonderful dentist. She listens and teaches. It's important to have those skills. You never feel anxious and her small staff are polite and patient. I have nothing but compliments. I hope that for all who encounter her and her team have the same experience

Dr. Elle Belfer is a talented, skilled, and seasoned dentist. After more than a decade with my trusted dentist, his retirement left me uncertain—until Dr. Belfer took over the practice. After a moment’s hesitation, I went in for my regular six-month cleaning and check-up. From our very first encounter, it was clear she was an outstanding practitioner. She worked quickly, efficiently, and identified several areas needing attention. What impressed me most at that first visit was the way she combined advanced dental technology with time-honored techniques. Over the course of three follow-up appointments, I experienced her exceptional skill first-hand. While dental procedures are never my favorite activity, Dr. Belfer performed each one with speed, precision, and minimal discomfort. I was especially impressed by new techniques I had never encountered in dentistry before. I recommend Dr. Belfer and her entire team without reservation.

The best dentist I have had in the city by far. I had cleaning and fillings done, extremely comfortable procedure and great results. Dr. Belfer was thorough, communicated very clearly to me what my best options were, and helped me book follow ups in a very timely manner. Fantastic family friendly dental clinic, won’t be going anywhere else.
