Will my dental bridge look natural?
Yes. At New Mexico Smile Center, we design each bridge to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Most patients find that their bridge looks and feels just like their natural smile.
What if I don’t have dental insurance?
We accept most insurance plans, and for patients without coverage, we offer a no-cost Dental Benefits Program with built-in discounts. This makes restorative care, including bridges, more affordable.
Is getting a dental bridge painful?
The procedure is typically comfortable. Our team uses gentle techniques and local anesthetic to ensure you remain at ease during treatment.
Do I need to replace a missing tooth right away?
Yes, it is recommended to restore a missing tooth promptly. A bridge not only improves your smile but also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.

Helping Albuquerque Smile
“I can’t speak highly enough of NM Smile Center! Coming from being with a previous dentist for 10+ years in Kentucky, I had a lot of anxiety in finding a new dentist when I relocated to Albuquerque. Thankfully, a coworker referred me to Dr Steve and he and his staff have not disappointed! From routine cleanings to now two dental emergencies, all the staff are incredibly friendly, flexible and dedicated to providing an excellent patient experience!”
