A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces missing teeth by anchoring false teeth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. The bridge remains fixed in your mouth and functions like a natural tooth to fill the gap in your smile and allow you to chew more foods comfortably.
How Bridges Compare to Other Options
Unlike dental implants, which require surgery to place a titanium post in your jawbone, a bridge uses your existing teeth for support. There's no surgical procedure, and treatment times are shorter.
Unlike removable dentures, which you take out at night and for cleaning, a dental bridge is cemented in place. You don't remove it. This helps make bridges feel more stable and natural when you eat and speak.
Is a Dental Bridge Right for You?
The ideal candidate for a bridge has healthy, strong teeth on either side of the gap. If you're missing multiple teeth in different areas of your mouth, or the teeth next to the gap are damaged or decayed, our dentists may recommend a different tooth replacement.
