Contact UsWhat Are Dental Bridges?
If one or a few of your teeth are missing, it's more than just a cosmetic problem — gaps in your teeth may cause your remaining teeth to shift out of place. This can lead to unnecessary tension when you bite, pain when chewing, or even difficulty speaking. A bridge restores the appearance and health of your mouth by filling in spaces with a false tooth that is supported by crowns, dental implants, or both. The Dentist of Allen in Allen, TX offers bridges that are custom-made with high-quality materials to help restore your beautiful smile. If you have one or more teeth missing, please schedule a consultation to get more information about your treatment options with a custom dental bridge.

Dental bridges offer numerous benefits for patients needing to replace missing teeth and refresh their appearance and oral wellness. Dental bridges from The Dentist Of Allen in Allen, TX may:
- Reinstate improved speaking and chewing proficiency
- Optimize your smile's look by covering gaps

What Should I Expect from Dental Bridges?
After your teeth are filed down, we will take digital x-rays and dental impressions so your custom bridge can be created. If needed, a temporary bridge or restoration can be placed while your custom one is crafted. As soon as your dental bridge is ready, your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia. Other anesthesia or sedation options may be used for anxiety or trouble with a gag reflex to keep you calm during the procedure. Your custom bridge can be glued into place or attached to dental implants based on the method you chose at your consult. We then adjust the fit of your bridge so it is comfortable in your mouth and remains in place.
Once your bridge is in place, you should see a noticeable improvement in the appearance and function of your teeth. You may need a second visit at The Dentist of Allen to adjust the fit of your bridge if it becomes loose or uncomfortable. Our team will give you tips for caring for your bridge. It is critical that you keep your bridge and mouth clean to prevent cavities. With proper care, your custom bridge may last for many years. We will check the wear and health of your bridge during routine visits.
The Dentist Of Allen Reviews
I've been a patient since I was a kid and enjoy coming in for my appointments. The hygienists, dentists and front desk are always really friendly and easy to talk to. Check in/out is easy and I love that you can text the front desk for appointments.
I have been going to The Dentist of Allen for 10+ years now. Before that I bounced around to probably about 10 different dentist for the 10 years before I found them. The staff is always great, they communicate well, and the doctors have always taken great care of me. When I met my wife she switched over to The Dentist of Allen and she refuses to go anywhere else. Great place that has been serving the residents of Allen for a very long time.

Very welcoming environment. Emily is the best hygienist ever! She always provides a very thorough cleaning. She is so personable, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciate the care and honesty from all staff I’ve interacted with. They are also flexible and have easily accommodated me when I’ve needed to reschedule or push an appointment back. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend!
Dr. Koelker & Patsy are the best!! I am confident & comfortable with Dr. Koelker & his team. The whole office works well together and as a patient you are informed of treatment options & treatment cost. Will continue to come here for dental care.
