Missing a tooth can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. At Nova Dental Care in Mundelein, IL, we use custom dental bridges to comfortably fill the gap, restore function, and bring back a natural, confident look.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with lifelike “pontics” (replacement teeth) that are secured to neighboring teeth (abutments) with crowns. Your bridge is color-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your smile, so it looks and feels natural when you talk and chew.
You can brush normally around your bridge and use a floss threader, interdental brush, or water flosser to clean under the pontic. With good home care and routine checkups, bridges commonly last 10–15+ years.
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a bridge may be a comfortable, reliable way to restore your smile.

Our cosmetic dental treatments are designed to improve the aesthetics of your smile.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the
healthy teeth on either side of the gap. It literally “bridges” the space, restoring your smile’s function and
appearance. At Nova Dental Care in Mundelein, we custom design each bridge for a secure, natural-
looking fit so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence again.
There are several types, including traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, and implant-supported
bridges. Traditional bridges are most common and use crowns on neighboring teeth for support, while
implant-supported bridges attach directly to dental implants for added stability. Our dentist will review
your options and help you choose the one that fits your needs and budget best.
With proper care, most bridges last 10 to 15 years or more. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits,
and avoiding very hard or sticky foods help your bridge stay in great shape for years. At Nova Dental
Care, we’ll show you how to care for it properly at home.
Not at all. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to keep you comfortable throughout the
process. You might experience mild sensitivity for a day or two after the procedure, but it goes away
quickly. Most of our patients are surprised by how smooth the process feels.
Brush twice a day, floss daily (using a floss threader or special bridge floss), and come in for regular
cleanings. Keeping the area around your bridge clean helps prevent decay and gum disease under the
supporting teeth. Our hygienists can show you easy techniques to keep your bridge spotless.
Because we take a personal, precision-focused approach. Every bridge is custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and fit. Patients from Mundelein, Libertyville, Vernon Hills, and all across Lake County choose us because we make tooth replacement comfortable, reliable, and beautifully natural-
looking.
Our philosophy for dentistry is simple and straightforward. We aim to provide care that is in your best interest. This means we are transparent and non judgemental, kind and empathetic. We have multiple specialists in house as we feel that this is the best way to provide comprehensive care to our patients.
Our office is relaxing and spa-like because let’s face it, no one loves going to the dentist. We’re trying to change that by providing a soothing environment for oral care.
