Dental Bridges for Greenville Patients

Greenville has a dental school, so we will not pretend patients need to leave Pitt County for dental care. The ones who drive two hours to see us are usually here for a specific reason: a second opinion on a complex plan, continuity with a prosthodontist rather than a rotating faculty and resident team, or a case that has already been treated once without success.

Those reasons are legitimate, and they are the only ones we would encourage. Full mouth reconstruction and full-arch implant work involve a long relationship with whoever plans them, and some patients want that to be the same person from start to finish.

We regularly see patients from Greenville, Winterville, Ayden, and Uptown, and from across the area around East Carolina University, ECU Health Medical Center.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It fills the space by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth or implants on either side.

The result is a complete, natural-looking smile that restores both function and appearance.

Dental Bridges in Greenville — FAQ

Why would I drive to Wilmington when Greenville has a dental school?
Most people should not. The patients who do are usually after continuity with one prosthodontist throughout a long case, or a second opinion on a complex plan.
Can I get a second opinion before starting a large treatment plan?
Yes, and for a case of any size it is a reasonable thing to do. Bring the proposed plan and any imaging. Dr. Pan will give you her honest assessment, including when the original plan is the right one.
How is a dental bridge different from an implant?
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by using the teeth next to the space for support, while an implant replaces the tooth root with a small post placed in the bone.
Do I have to take a bridge out to clean it?
No. A dental bridge is fixed in place. You clean it by brushing and using special floss or tools to clean underneath.
Will my bridge look natural?
Yes. Your bridge is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless smile.
Am I a candidate for a dental bridge?
You may be a good candidate if you are missing one or more teeth and have healthy teeth or implants available to support the bridge.
