Contact UsWhat Are Dental Bridges?
When one or many of your teeth are missing, it is more than just a problem with appearance as having gaps can cause your remaining teeth to shift. This can result in unnecessary tension in your bite, pain when you chew, or a speech impairment. A dental bridge improves the health and appearance of your mouth by covering spaces with a false tooth that is supported by either crowns, dental implants, or a combination of both. At Washington Elite Dentistry, our team offers dental bridges with top-quality materials to help restore your beautiful smile. If you have gaps in your smile, please schedule an appointment at our Washington, D.C. office to learn about your treatment options with dental bridges.

Am I A Candidate For A Dental Bridge?
Missing teeth are not just an aesthetic issue — spaces between your smile can heavily impact the health of your mouth. Your mouth is balanced carefully, and a gap can affect how well you use it. With time, a missing tooth can lead to teeth shifting, creating bite problems (overbite, underbite, crossbite) and atrophy of the gums and jawbone. A dental bridge requires the surrounding teeth to be strong enough to hold the restoration, including sufficient jawbone density and gum tissue. Dr. Bernan will assess your mouth at your consultation to help you select the best bridge type and material.
What Can I Expect from Dental Bridges?
Once your teeth are filed down to prepare them, we will take digital x-rays and dental impressions so your custom bridge can be created. A temporary bridge 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. Stronger sedation methods may be used if you have anxiety or trouble with a gag reflex so you will stay calm during the placement. Your bridge will either be glued in place or connected to implants based on the support you elected to have during your consultation. A member of our team will adjust the fit of the bridge so it is comfortable in your mouth and stable.
Washington Elite Dentistry Reviews
Great dentist and hygienists here! The whole office is very high tech and the people are very personable.
Amazing staff from front desk to dentist. And Marina is the BEST hygentist I've ever experienced. Literally retaught me how to take care of my teeth and gums. Highly recommend!
As someone who’s been a returning customer of theirs for a few years, I can say with complete confidence that WED continues to be the best of its kind! First, I’ll say that the location is convenient & easily accessible with it being right near Metro Center Station. Dr. Berman remains the best at her job, always being friendly & having a positive attitude while ensuring every procedure is completed without issues. One of their awesome staff members by the name of Marina handled my deep cleaning & is very passionate about her job. You can tell as soon as you meet her & she has this very creative way of holding you accountable for your oral hygiene that I very much like. I also have to mention Michelle, their receptionist as well. She’s very kind, knowledgeable on everything they do & will share her own personal experiences that can help ease your anxiety so when you leave, you’ll be reassured and in a much better mood than when you came in. They’re also very flexible on payment options so you don’t have to worry about paying unreasonably large amounts of money right away. To anyone who’s wants a clean, welcoming, & affordable dentistry with an overall amazing staff, I heavily encourage you to try WED!
Very professional. Nice location. Honest doctors. Reasonable prices. Dr. Berman made me feel like at home. Thank you
I had my dental work done in Serbia recently. I had a couple of issues and had to get it checked by the dentist ASAP ! Made my appointment through a friend! She highly recommended the Washington Elite Dentistry ! The front desk was able to squeeze me on the same day since it was emergency-thank you, Michelle! Dr Berman took a first look, and she was very clear about what was going on and what should be done. We did x-rays and ct scan on site. After her, Dr. Khashayar checked me as well, and he clarified situations about my implants. Any future work from now on I am doing here! Thank you
