What Is Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a natural-looking replacement tooth to the healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Made from tooth-colored materials, a bridge restores your ability to chew and speak comfortably while keeping your remaining teeth from drifting out of place. The result is a complete, natural-looking smile.

- 5 out of 5 stars. “I’ve been really happy with Dr. Zhang. I just finished getting two crowns and it was the easiest procedure I’ve ever gone through and I have anxiety of the dentist and a low pain tolerance. No pain or discomfort at all and my new teeth look amazing! Dr. Zhang clearly describes what he’s doing and why. I trust his opinion and recommended action plan to protect my teeth. He’s clearly very knowledgeable.” — Jerry
- 5 out of 5 stars. “Dr. Berbos is the BEST! Her father was my ophthalmologist and after he retired, her brother (Dr. Nicholas James Berbos) became my ophthalmologist. Several years ago I was not happy with my dentist and after having my eyes checked, I asked her brother if he was related to the dentist, Dr. Elizabeth Berbos. He told me he was her brother and I immediately made an appointment. The 2 dental hygienists, Denise and Kim, are thorough and gentle and informative. Dr. Berbos is a perfectionist, explains every procedure and does everything possible to avoid unnecessary dental work. She is understanding, warm and kind. She truly puts the patient first. And as an added bonus, her office looks like a spa. She feels it's important for her patients to be in a pleasant atmosphere and I agree completely. I will remain loyal always to Dr. Berbos (and to her brother). Dental health affects the entire body. Having a dentist as accomplished and understanding as Dr. Berbos helps keep me well.UPDATE, FEBRUARY 2026: I was a little nervous when Dr. Berbos told me she was going to retire. But she assured me she would never refer her patients to anyone she didn't trust. She was so right! Dr. Zhang is extremely professional, kind and gentle. Last Fall I needed a crown and his work went smoothly and was pain free. His hygienist, Jane, cleaned my teeth beautifully and was so very gentle and considerate. I will certainly continue seeing Dr. Zhang as my dentist.” — Alida

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers

How long does a dental bridge last?
With good care, a dental bridge can last many years. Brushing, flossing, and regular checkups help protect both the bridge and the teeth that support it.
Is getting a bridge painful?
No. We numb the area before preparing your teeth, so the process is comfortable. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and usually fades quickly.
How do I clean under my bridge?
We will show you how to clean beneath your bridge using floss threaders or small interdental brushes. Keeping this area clean is important for the health of the supporting teeth and gums.
Bridge or implant, which is right for me?
Both are excellent options for replacing missing teeth. A bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support, while an implant stands on its own. Dr. Zhang will help you weigh the options and choose what fits your needs and budget.
Should you replace your old dental bridge in Fullerton, CA?
If you’ve had a dental bridge for several years, you may be wondering when it’s time for a replacement. A bridge that’s still secure, well-fitted, and free from damage doesn’t necessarily need to be replaced right away. However, replacement is typically recommended when a bridge becomes loose, shows visible wear or discoloration, develops decay around the supporting teeth, or if the underlying bone has shifted significantly over time. You may also choose to replace an older bridge simply for aesthetic reasons—modern materials often look and feel more natural. The team at Fullerton Smile Dentistry can examine your bridge and help you determine the best path forward.
Why is your tooth sensitive after getting a dental bridge?
Some sensitivity after bridge placement is normal and usually temporary. The supporting teeth and surrounding tissues can be slightly irritated from the preparation and fitting process, leading to mild sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure. This typically resolves within a few days to a couple of weeks as your mouth adjusts. If your bite feels uncomfortable or uneven, a simple adjustment often resolves the issue. Should sensitivity be sharp, intensify, or persist beyond a couple of weeks, contact Fullerton Smile Dentistry so we can ensure your bridge is fitting properly and comfortably.
Can a dental bridge come loose?
Yes, although it’s uncommon, a dental bridge can become loose or fail over time. This may happen due to decay forming around the supporting teeth, normal wear and tear, an injury or impact to the mouth, or the cement bond gradually weakening. If your bridge feels loose or comes out, try to keep it safe, avoid chewing on that side, and keep the area clean. Contact Fullerton Smile Dentistry right away—our team can help restore your dental bridge in Fullerton, CA, with re-cementing or a complete replacement before bacteria reach the supporting teeth and cause decay or additional complications.
How much does dental bridges in Fullerton, CA cost?
The cost of dental bridges depends on a few factors, including the scope of your treatment plan and whether additional imaging or procedures are needed. During your visit, we'll walk you through a clear, itemized estimate before anything begins — no surprises. At Fullerton Smile Dentistry, we work closely with most insurance providers to maximize your benefits, and we offer flexible financing options and new patient specials to make quality care comfortable for every budget.
