What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed, non-removable prosthesis used to fill gaps left by one or more missing teeth. It is designed to restore function and appearance, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.

Purposes of Dental Bridges

• Replacing missing teeth
• Preventing surrounding teeth from shifting
• Improving the appearance of your smile
• Maintaining proper bite and oral function

How Is a Dental Bridge Prepared?

The process begins by preparing the teeth adjacent to the gap to support the bridge. An impression of these teeth is taken and sent to a dental laboratory where the custom bridge is made. A temporary bridge may be placed in the meantime to protect the teeth and maintain alignment. Once the bridge is ready, it is checked for fit and then secured in place.

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

Replacing missing teeth is important to prevent issues such as:

• Increased risk of tooth decay
• Uneven wear and changes in bite
• Impact on the appearance and function of your smile
