Dental Bridgesin Skokie
Dental bridges are a trusted, long-term solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. At Affinity Smiles, Dr. Mansi Raina offers custom-made dental bridges designed to restore natural function and harmony to your smile.
Dental bridges consist of one or more prosthetic teeth that are anchored in place by crowned neighboring teeth or dental implants, filling in the gaps left by missing teeth and helping maintain a natural facial structure.
Because our practice is privately owned and patient-focused, we take the time to ensure every dental bridge we place is tailored for comfort, functionality, and esthetic appeal, giving you the confidence to chew, speak, and smile with ease.

Why Should I Get Dental Bridges?
If you're missing teeth, dental bridges offer a strong, natural-looking replacement that restores full function while protecting your oral health. Gaps caused by missing teeth can allow surrounding teeth to shift, impacting your bite and increasing your risk for further dental concerns.
At Affinity Smiles, Dr. Raina takes a restorative approach backed by advanced training to ensure your bridge perfectly matches the shape and color of your existing teeth. We treat each patient as an individual, developing bridge solutions that suit your unique needs, goals, and budget. With proper care, a dental bridge can last many years and help preserve your overall oral health along the way.
The Benefits Of Dental Bridges
Restores Chewing and Speaking Function
Missing teeth can make even simple acts like eating or talking uncomfortable. A dental bridge helps restore full function so you can enjoy meals and conversations without worry.
Aesthetically Natural Results
Dr. Raina crafts every bridge to match your natural teeth in size, shade, and shape, creating a seamless, natural-looking result that enhances your smile without drawing attention to the restoration.
Prevents Shifting of Teeth
When a tooth is missing, adjacent teeth often drift into the gap over time. A dental bridge preserves proper spacing and alignment, protecting you from bite issues or jaw pain down the road.
The Dental Bridges Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Affinity Smiles in Skokie. Dr. Raina listens carefully to your concerns and evaluates the health of your teeth and gums. With a strong emphasis on education and transparency, she’ll explain your options, helping you understand whether a bridge is the right fit for your goals. From there, a personalized treatment plan is created based on your oral condition, cosmetic preferences, and timeline.
Tooth Preparation and Temporization
To place a traditional dental bridge, the teeth adjacent to the gap are carefully reshaped to support dental crowns. Impressions are then taken and sent to a trusted dental lab to custom-fabricate your bridge. In the meantime, you’ll receive a high-quality temporary bridge to protect your prepared teeth and preserve your smile’s appearance while your permanent restoration is made.
Custom Bridge Placement
Once your custom bridge is ready, you’ll return to our Skokie office for final placement. Dr. Raina will ensure a precise fit and make minor adjustments, if needed, for comfort and aesthetics. The bridge is then securely cemented in place, restoring your ability to bite, chew, and smile confidently. You’ll receive full instructions for caring for your new restoration, helping support long-lasting results and overall oral health.
