What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges not only enhance your smile but also improve your bite and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position.

Our Dental Bridge Procedure
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dentist will examine your teeth and gums, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options.
- Tooth Preparation: If opting for a traditional bridge, the adjacent teeth will be prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crowns.
- Impressions: We will take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fit bridge.
- Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent bridge is being fabricated.
- Fitting the Permanent Bridge: Once ready, your permanent bridge will be adjusted for a perfect fit and then permanently cemented in place.
FAQs
How long do bridges last?
Dental bridges can last five to 15 years and even longer. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, it is not unusual for the life span of a fixed bridge to be over 10 years.
Will it be difficult to eat with a dental bridge?
Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge should actually make eating easier. Until you become accustomed to the bridge, eat soft foods that have been cut into small pieces.
What are the risks of dental bridges?
The risks include :
- An ill fitting bridge can cause decay of the tooth under the crown
- Irreversible reduction of the structures of natural healthy teeth to accommodate the appliance in place
- The restoration can collapse if the supporting teeth are not strong enough
