Why Choose Bay View Dental for a Dental Bridge?
Living with tooth loss does more than just impact the look and utility of your smile. When a tooth is lost, it causes the tissue in your jawbone to begin to deteriorate. If left untreated, missing teeth can ultimately lead to further tooth loss. Dr. Emerson can fill the gap left by missing teeth with a dental bridge to help you maintain your smile and boost your oral health.
A traditional bridge can span the gap left by up to three teeth. If you have four or more consecutive missing teeth, a partial denture may be a better option. Dr. Emerson will develop an individual treatment plan that takes into account your current state of oral health and your ultimate goals. Options include dental bridges, dentures, and dental implant-supported restorations.
Our team of caring professionals serving the needs of Clairemont, Pacific Beach, and the greater San Diego, CA, area provides advanced care with a personal touch to each patient that visits our dental practice. For over 20 years, Dr. Emerson has provided custom treatments tailored to suit the individual patient needs of everyone that visits our dental practice.

It was an absolute pleasure going to this dental office this morning- i don’t think I’ve ever said that about a dentist visit. Everyone was SO kind and friendly, cleaning was gentle & thorough, Dr. Emerson gave understandable explanations & explained the reasoning for his recommendations, and they clearly outlined pricing for recommended future procedures. All in all great!

A Dental Bridge Can Repair Your Smile
Tailored to Meet Your Needs
Traditional bridges can replace missing teeth but require permanent alteration of the teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile. A restoration supported by a dental implant can replace any number of teeth and offers unmatched stability for a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
A Long-Term Solution
Both traditional and dental implant-supported bridges are crafted from advanced porcelain ceramics. Designed to withstand normal biting forces, a porcelain dental bridge can provide over a decade of faithful service with proper care and regular checkups with our dentist serving Clairemont and Pacific Beach, CA.
Incredibly Life-Like Results
The porcelain used for dental bridges is not only incredibly strong but is engineered to mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Dr. Emerson will color match your new dental bridge to match the shade of your surrounding teeth so that you can enjoy a seamlessly restored smile.

New customer. The welcoming of all the staff was very warm and comforting...like a family member being welcomed back. Dr. Mark spent a few minutes getting to know me personally and I was much impressed with his philosophy "do dental work only if needed but give the patient all information." I actually look forward to going again.
