A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns placed on the neighboring natural teeth. This “bridge” fills the gap left by missing teeth, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of position.
Replacing missing teeth is important for maintaining proper oral health. When a gap is left untreated, adjacent teeth can drift, leading to bite misalignment and jaw discomfort. A dental bridge helps preserve your natural facial structure and keeps your smile aligned.
Our bridges are crafted from durable, natural-looking materials that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. We carefully match the shade and shape to ensure a comfortable and aesthetic result.
The bridge process typically requires two appointments. During the first visit, we prepare the supporting teeth and take impressions. A temporary bridge may be placed until your custom restoration is ready. At the second visit, the permanent bridge is secured in place.
With proper care, dental bridges can last many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental checkups will help extend the lifespan of your restoration.
