Dental bridges in Woodbridge, VA
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to crowns on the teeth either side of the gap. Unlike a denture, it is fixed in place and does not come out.
At 703 Dental, Dr. Bilal Ali makes bridges from tooth-colored ceramic matched to your smile. We offer traditional bridges, supported by your natural teeth, and implant-supported bridges, which use dental implants instead and do not involve the neighboring teeth.
Filling a gap restores your ability to chew evenly, keeps the surrounding teeth from tilting into the space and supports your face and smile. A well-cared-for bridge often lasts 10 to 15 years or more.
What's included

Step by step
How a dental bridge is made
Step 1
Consultation
Exam, X-rays and a comparison of bridge, implant and denture options.
Step 2
Preparation
The supporting teeth are numbed and shaped for crowns.
Step 3
Scan and temporary
A digital scan records your bite, and a temporary bridge protects the teeth.
Step 4
Fitting
The final bridge is checked for fit and color and cemented in place.
Dental bridge cost and insurance
The cost of a bridge depends on how many teeth it replaces and whether it is supported by natural teeth or implants. Most PPO plans cover bridges as a major service.
We accept all major PPO plans, Virginia Medicaid, FAMIS and Medicare Advantage dental benefits, and we confirm your coverage and give you a written estimate before treatment. Without insurance, our membership plan discounts treatment, and payment plans spread the cost.

Bridges, implants and partial dentures compared
There are three main ways to replace missing teeth, and each has advantages. A bridge is fixed and usually completed in a few weeks, but it needs crowns on the neighboring teeth. An implant replaces the tooth root and does not involve the neighbors, but it takes a few months to heal. A partial denture is removable and usually the lowest-cost option, especially when several teeth are missing in different places.
The right choice depends on the health of the nearby teeth, the bone in the area, your budget and how long you want the result to last. At your free consultation, Dr. Ali will explain which options suit your mouth and give you a written estimate for each.
- Bridge: fixed, fast, uses neighboring teeth for support
- Implant bridge: fixed, preserves bone, does not affect neighboring teeth
- Partial denture: removable, lowest cost, easy to add teeth later
Caring for your bridge
- Clean under the bridge daily with a floss threader, super floss or water flosser
- Brush twice a day, paying attention to where the bridge meets the gum
- Avoid very hard or sticky foods
- Keep regular checkups so we can check the supporting teeth
