Bridges

Dental Bridges Patient Results

A new patient came to our office to establish a dentist. She was curious to see if there were any options to help her top front bridge look better. After she had whitened her teeth, she felt that her bridge looked more yellow. Dr. Joseph redid the bridge, making it match the rest of her teeth. Notice how it also looks a lot less rounded and bulky! She was thrilled to have such a beautiful smile!
