Dental Bridges
A fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the surrounding teeth.
What is Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a fixed restoration that is anchored to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. The bridge consists of a replacement tooth (or teeth) fused between two crowns that fit over the supporting teeth, spanning the gap left by your missing tooth. Your dentist prepares the supporting teeth, takes an impression, and fits a temporary bridge while your custom, permanent bridge is crafted to match your natural teeth. This typically requires two visits over a couple of weeks.
Why is this procedure performed?
- One or more missing teeth affecting chewing or speech
- A gap between teeth that is shifting your bite alignment over time
- A desire for a fixed, non-removable tooth replacement option
- Restoring a natural-looking smile after tooth loss
- Sufficient healthy supporting teeth on either side of the gap
How does this procedure help?
A dental bridge restores your ability to chew and speak normally while preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap left by a missing tooth, which can otherwise lead to bite problems over time. Because it is permanently fixed rather than removable, it functions much like your natural teeth in daily use. With good oral hygiene, a well-maintained bridge can last ten to fifteen years or more.
