A Complete Smile
Filling the gap with lifelike teeth restores the look of a full, even smile, so a missing tooth no longer draws the eye.
Has a missing tooth started to change how you eat, speak, and smile? Dental bridges in Long Beach, CA, fill that space with lifelike replacement teeth anchored securely to the ones beside it. At Tammy N. Tran, D.D.S., Inc., we close the gap so completely that your smile and your bite feel whole again.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap with natural-looking artificial teeth. The replacement teeth are secured to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, which anchor the bridge in place. We prepare the area, take a precise impression, and fit a temporary bridge while your custom one is crafted. Made from porcelain and ceramic, the finished bridge is custom-crafted to sit securely and comfortably in your smile. Once it is set, you can bite, chew, and smile as though the tooth had never been lost.
Filling the gap with lifelike teeth restores the look of a full, even smile, so a missing tooth no longer draws the eye.
With the space closed, you can bite and chew a wider range of foods comfortably, without favoring one side of your mouth.
Gaps can affect how certain sounds come out, and replacing the missing tooth helps you speak more clearly and naturally.
A bridge keeps your remaining teeth from drifting into the empty space, protecting your bite and alignment over time.
A bridge is usually placed over two comfortable visits, with care at every step.
Schedule AppointmentOur dental team examines the gap and the teeth around it, then maps out a bridge that fits your smile and bite.
We gently prepare the teeth on each side so they can support the bridge securely and comfortably.
A detailed digital impression records the exact shape of your teeth, so the finished bridge sits just right.
You wear a comfortable temporary bridge that fills the gap while your permanent one is crafted at the lab.
At your second visit, we check the color and fit, then secure the new bridge into position.
A Missing Tooth — You have lost a tooth to decay, injury, or extraction and want to fill the gap with a natural-looking replacement.
Trouble Chewing on One Side — You find yourself avoiding certain foods or chewing only on one side because of a gap in your teeth.
Shifting Nearby Teeth — The teeth around an empty space have started to lean or drift, which a bridge can stop by filling the gap.
Self-Conscious About the Space — You have grown self-conscious about a visible gap when you talk or smile and want to fill it with something natural.
Your dentist shades and shapes each bridge to match your natural teeth, so the replacements are impossible to distinguish.
We take the time to get the fit exactly right, so your bridge feels stable and comfortable for the long haul.
We look at your bite, your gums, and your goals together, choosing a bridge that protects your whole mouth, not just the gap.
From numbing to placement, every step is handled gently and without rushing, so the whole process stays comfortable.

4.9 from 232 Google reviewsI was referred to Dr. Tran by an oral surgeon. I had lost a front tooth and thought I needed an implant. I entered Dr. Tran's office hesitant as I was unsure if this is the route I wanted to take. Dr. Tran very quickly put me at ease. She is extremely thorough. She took the time to expertly evaluate my situation and came up with a solution that I did not know was even possible. Not to mention she executed my new bridge perfectly. It was a difficult place in the mouth to place a bridge — in the front. But her skill and artistry is unmatched. I could not be happier with my new smile. She restored not only my teeth, but also restored my self confidence. I am able to smile without thinking if my once missing tooth is visible.
I avoided dentist offices pretty heavily after being traumatized as a kid. I've been going to Dr. Tammy Tran for almost 4 years when I needed all my major work finally planned out and done. Dr. Tran and her entire office are very welcoming and thoughtful from the first intake appointment. Creating a treatment plan, finding specialists when needed for other work and all the payments/scheduling is a lot easier with this team. I'm beyond happy to have completed my treatment plan with her, thanks to their openness to working around my insurance and work schedule. Love love love this office and I wouldn't have wanted my treatment done by anyone else. Also happy to say that I don't have nearly as much anxiety sitting in a dentist chair :)
I feel very comfortable going to Dr. Tran's office. The staff and everyone there have treated me and my husband with respect. They always give me information on how the health of my gums and teeth are doing and feedback on ways I can maintain or improve my oral care. My husband has a lot of issues with his teeth and has felt embarrassed in other offices due to his complicated situation but with Dr. Tran and her staff he has felt very comfortable and has not been made to feel bad or guilty about the condition of his teeth. He has had to get a lot of work done but we were able to get a convenient payment plan that works with our budget. I highly recommend this office.
The dentist office is very clean, bright, and comfortable with wonderful receptionists who are very professional and friendly. When I went to the dentist the first time, the assistant who took me to my seat in the back was very friendly and calmed me down since I get very nervous at the dentist. Dr. Tran was amazing and very informative about everything that I could do about my teeth. She understands that people are not always fans of going to the dentist and is very patient. The staff recognize me and know who I am, even though I have not been there long, and it is a very welcoming experience. I will not be going to any other dentist office but this one.
I was lucky enough to find Dr Tran when I was dealing with excruciating pain from a cavity. I called and was able to book a consultation where she explained to me what was going on and where the pain came from. She even showed me pictures. I told her I needed to get it fixed ASAP or else I wouldn't be able to eat. She worked through her lunch to fill my cavity!! I was and still am so grateful. The best thing about Dr Tran is she makes numbing shots painless! And I'm the worst with shots and/or needles. She always makes me feel comfortable. I used to hate going to the dentist and she makes it bearable. And front staff is just as great!
I've been visiting Dr. Tran's office for a little over a year now and have had nothing but the best experiences. I tend to be a nervous patient when it comes to dental work. But from the friendly ladies at the front desk to the dental technicians who take the time to hold normal conversations and check in with me, I now actually look forward to my biannual visits. Last year, I had to get my first root canal, and Dr. Tran was amazing. She walked me through the procedure step by step and really helped put me at ease. If you're looking for a local dental office that's both professional and personable, I couldn't recommend them more!
As someone who HATES going to the dentist, this office has been changing the way I view my dental experience. The staff here is absolutely fantastic and consistently provide great service with a smile. The receptionists, the assistants, the finance coordinator and the dentists have always been kind and supportive; which goes a LONG way when you get anxious in a dental setting. The office itself is very modern/clean in a plaza that has plentiful parking. One of my favorite aspects of this office is the communication. They do a great job at explaining why the suggested work needs to be done without making you feel bad about asking!
I had originally gone for an emergency appointment during Covid lockdown and were so amazing but didn't take my dental insurance. Im also terrified of going to the dentist and they were amazing. I ended up switching my dental insurance just so I could come here. Was just there a few days ago and the technician was amazing and explained everything in detail and always asked if I was ok or had any questions. The oral hygienist was amazing and kind. My teeth were not in the best shape and not once did I feel judged. They've been so amazing. I have some work coming up in a week and I know I'm in good hands.
Absolutely loved having this place be my dentist and teeth care. I have lived all over the country and found this place literally to be the best dentist office I've ever been to. It's a bright cheery clean office. They all are kind, and explained everything I needed. They use state of the art xray maps of your mouth showing and backing up problem areas, while the doctor and assistants explain your needs. I felt they really cared to explain insurance coverage and the lack of insurance coverage with the dollar amounts to avoid shock. I am happy to recommend this office to my friends and anyone who asks.
I've had several visits with Dr. Tammy Tran over the past year, and every experience has been excellent. The entire team provides a welcoming and comforting environment, always attentive to my comfort and concerns. The procedures are quick, thorough, and handled with great care. I especially appreciate how effective they are at numbing my gums—something that has been an issue for me at other offices in the past, but never here. Their attention to detail and patient care stands out, and I always leave feeling well taken care of. Thank you to Dr. Tran and the staff for the consistently great work!
All of my experiences have been phenomenal! I love the atmosphere in the office, as well as how the staff treats and looks after me while I'm there. They definitely get the highest recommendation from me as a patient. Donta is an awesome hygienist who cares about every patient he gets the honor to assist. He's thorough as well as detailed during my cleanings. He offers great information on how to keep my teeth healthy and clean. Doctor Tran is an awesome dentist who gives you nothing but excellent care. 10/10 for Tammy N Tran DDS.
Dr. Tran is absolutely the best dentist we've ever been to! They are incredibly gentle and always take the time to explain every step of the procedure clearly, which really helped ease my husband's dental anxiety. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, and we always leave feeling confident about our oral health. We recently had our maintenance done for the entire family of 4 with minimal discomfort, and the results are perfect. I would highly recommend Dr. Tran's to anyone looking for a top-notch dental experience.
I have been coming to this office for cleanings for a while now, and I have to say their service is exceptional! The entire staff is always so friendly, caring, and thoughtful. The girls at the reception are always on top of your appointments, and they make sure to call or text a day or two before your appointment. Donta has been cleaning my teeth for a while now, and he is AWESOME!! I wouldn't trust anyone else to clean my teeth. He is thorough and gentle. Thank you for taking such good care of me!
I have always had problems with my gums and with cavities but since Dr. Tran recommended cleanings three times a year instead of two, it has been a game changer. My gums and teeth are the healthiest they have ever been. The third cleaning isn't covered by insurance but the price is reasonable and fair and I am actually saving money by not having to pay for extensive dental work that isn't covered (crowns, etc) that I was always paying for years.
Came to my appointment and they took care of me on time. No wasting time. I love that. And everyone gave me a great smile and warm welcome. They just moved to a new place it is bigger place. Has new machines and everything is clean. I am glad they were able to make an appointment non urgent but called like 3 days before. I am a busy person and I am glad they took me for appointment in short notice. This is 3rd time I go there.
Definitely the best dental office I've ever visited. Been coming in for one thing or another every 2-4 months for the last couple of years and have always received extremely professional and friendly care. Dr. Tran is amazing, and I've been treated by at least five of her hygienists and every single one has been both professional and friendly as well. Even if I moved further away, I think I would keep going back to Dr. Tran.
Dr. Tammy N. Tran is highly skilled in dentistry. The results of my every visit exceeded my expectations, and the entire process was smooth and comfortable. Always fixed my dental issues and showed genuine care and compassion. With their highly skilled team, dental health management has never been easier. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality dental health care. Thank you for giving me the confidence to smile again.
Dr Tammy Tran is the best dentist that I know of. Me and my family have been her patients for over 20 years. She's great at tooth extractions, replacing crowns and fillings. Very thorough exams, including x-rays and cleanings, as well as deep cleanings. She's best at making it all very painless. Her staff is very professional and courteous. I hope she remains my go to dentist for the rest of my life. Thank you, Dr Tran!

A bridge here does more than fill a gap; it gives back the comfort of eating freely, the ease of speaking clearly, and the confidence of a complete smile.

With good care, a bridge can last a decade or more before it needs replacing. Daily brushing, flossing under the bridge, and regular checkups all help it last.
A floss threader or a small interdental brush lets you clean beneath the replacement teeth, where regular floss cannot reach. Your hygienist will show you a simple routine that keeps the bridge and your gums healthy.
