🦷 Dental Bridges in Fairhope: How Dr. Greer Restores Strength and Beauty to Every Smile
Bringing Confidence Back to Fairhope, One Bridge at a Time
A missing tooth can affect more than your smile — it can change how you chew, speak, and even how confident you feel around others. But modern dentistry offers a natural-looking, lasting solution: dental bridges.
At Sweet Water Dentistry in Fairhope, Alabama, Dr. Phillip Greer and his team specialize in restoring smiles with precision, comfort, and care. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several, Dr. Greer’s experience and technology make him one of the most trusted Fairhope dentists for those seeking strength, beauty, and function in every smile.
🌿 What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom restoration designed to “bridge” the gap left by one or more missing teeth. The bridge anchors to your surrounding natural teeth or dental implants, creating a seamless replacement that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.
A bridge not only replaces missing teeth but also:
- Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting
- Maintains facial shape and bite alignment
- Restores normal chewing and speech
- Protects long-term oral health
When crafted with precision and artistry, bridges can restore the beauty and balance of your smile — and your confidence.
💎 The Types of Dental Bridges Dr. Greer Offers
At Sweet Water Dentistry, Dr. Greer customizes every restoration to meet your unique needs. He offers several types of bridges, each designed for optimal comfort, aesthetics, and durability.
1️⃣ Traditional Dental Bridges
The most common type, anchored by crowns on both sides of the missing tooth. Ideal for patients with healthy surrounding teeth.
2️⃣ Cantilever Bridges
Used when only one neighboring tooth is available for support. Dr. Greer carefully evaluates the bite to ensure lasting stability.
3️⃣ Maryland (Bonded) Bridges
A conservative option that uses a metal or porcelain framework attached behind adjacent teeth. Great for front-tooth replacements.
4️⃣ Implant-Supported Bridges
For the most durable, long-term solution, dental implants can anchor a bridge directly into the jawbone. This prevents bone loss and provides unmatched strength and realism.
“Every smile is unique, and so is every bridge.
My goal is to restore function, beauty, and confidence — all at once.”
— Dr. Phillip Greer
🦷 How the Process Works
With Dr. Greer’s advanced training and state-of-the-art equipment, getting a dental bridge is comfortable and efficient.
Step 1: Consultation & Digital Imaging
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation. Using advanced 3D imaging, Dr. Greer assesses your bite, bone structure, and overall oral health to create a precise treatment plan.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation (if needed)
For traditional bridges, the surrounding teeth are gently shaped to hold the crowns.
Step 3: Digital Scanning & Design
No messy impressions here — Sweet Water Dentistry uses digital scanners for perfect accuracy and comfort.
Step 4: Custom Fabrication or Same-Day Crown Milling
Using CEREC® technology, Dr. Greer can often craft your crowns in a single visit, matching your natural color and shape beautifully.
Step 5: Placement & Final Fit
Your custom bridge is bonded securely in place. The result? A strong, natural smile that restores your confidence instantly.

💚 Bridges vs. Dental Implants — What’s the Difference?
While dental bridges and dental implants both restore missing teeth, they differ in approach.
| Feature | Dental Bridges | Dental Implants |
| Support | Anchored to neighboring teeth | Anchored directly to the jawbone |
| Longevity | 10–15 years on average | 20+ years (often permanent) |
| Invasiveness | Less invasive, faster process | Surgical placement required |
| Bone Preservation | Does not prevent bone loss | Prevents bone loss |
| Cost | More affordable initially | Higher upfront, long-term value |
Many patients in Fairhope choose a bridge first, then upgrade to implants later. Dr. Greer offers both — allowing patients to restore their smile in the way that best fits their needs and goals.
