Everything You Need to Know
Our Devoted team answers the most common questions about dental bridges in Highland, MI.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge fills the gap from a missing tooth by anchoring a replacement tooth (called a pontic) to crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the gap. Once bonded in place, it functions as a single, fixed unit, no removing it at night, no adhesive, just your normal brushing and flossing routine, plus a little extra care to clean underneath it.
The Three Types of Bridges
A traditional bridge, the most common type, anchors with crowns on both sides of the gap. A cantilever bridge anchors to just one adjacent tooth when there's only a healthy tooth on one side. A Maryland bridge bonds a metal or porcelain framework to the back of neighboring teeth rather than full crowns, a less invasive option best suited to front teeth. Our Highland team will recommend the type that fits your specific gap and the condition of your surrounding teeth.
The Bridge Process at Devoted Dental Highland
Getting dentures at Devoted Dental Highland starts with a consultation and any necessary extractions, followed by precise impressions of your gums and remaining teeth.

1How much do dentures cost in Highland, MI?
The cost of dentures depends on the type (full vs. partial) and materials used. Devoted Dental Highland offers financing through CareCredit and Cherry Financing to make treatment accessible. Call for a personalized estimate.
2How long does it take to get dentures?
The denture process typically takes several weeks from your initial consultation to your final fitting, allowing time for impressions, fabrication, and any necessary healing after extractions. Our Highland team will walk you through your specific timeline at your consultation.
3Will dentures feel natural?
New dentures take some getting used to, and most patients adjust within a few weeks. Custom-fitted dentures from Devoted Dental Highland are designed to fit your mouth precisely, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.
4Can I get dentures if I still have some natural teeth?
Yes. A partial denture is designed specifically for patients with some remaining natural teeth. It fills in the gaps left by missing teeth while working with your existing teeth to preserve your bite and prevent shifting.
