Fixed & Natural
Permanently cemented — looks and functions like your own teeth.
A fixed, natural-looking way to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a custom restoration to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
Every appointment in our Century City office is led by Dr. Esfahani — no handoffs, no rushed visits, no surprise treatment recommendations.
A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth (or several in a row) with an artificial tooth held in place by crowns on the neighboring teeth. It's fixed — it doesn't come out — and it restores your bite, your smile, and the way you speak.
A bridge is often the right choice when the teeth beside the gap would benefit from crowns anyway, or when an implant isn't possible. We'll help you weigh a bridge against an implant honestly, based on your specific situation.

Both replace missing teeth well. An implant stands alone and preserves bone but takes longer and involves minor surgery. A bridge is faster and surgery-free but relies on the neighboring teeth for support.
If the adjacent teeth are healthy and untouched, an implant is often the more conservative long-term choice. If they already need crowns, a bridge can solve two problems at once. We'll give you a straight recommendation.
Exam and X-rays to confirm a bridge is the right solution.

A precise scan is taken; a temporary bridge protects the teeth.
Your custom bridge is crafted to match your bite and color.
The final bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented.
