A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace missing teeth. It is made of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) attached to supporting crowns on the natural teeth next to the gap.
A dental bridge helps:
* Replace missing teeth
* Restore your ability to chew and speak normally
* Prevent surrounding teeth from drifting
Improve your smile and bite alignment
* Maintain facial shape and appearance
Our bridges are designed from strong, aesthetic materials such as porcelain, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, giving you both durability and a natural look.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
We provide several options depending on your situation:
* Traditional Dental Bridge – Uses crowns on the teeth at each side of the gap
* Cantilever Bridge – Used when only one adjacent tooth is available
* Zirconia or Porcelain Bridge – Highly aesthetic solutions for visible areas
* Implant-Supported Bridges – A stronger, longer-lasting option anchored by dental implants (ideal for multiple missing teeth)
Your dentist will examine your bite, teeth, and overall oral health to recommend the best type for you.
What to Expect During the Bridge Procedure
The dental bridge process typically takes two visits:
1. Preparation Appointment
* The supporting teeth are shaped for crown placement
* An impression or mold is taken for accuracy
* A temporary bridge is placed while your final one is being crafted
2. Final Bridge Placement
* Your permanent bridge is checked for fit, bite, and aesthetics
* The bridge is cemented securely into place
* You leave with a restored, functional smile
Our dental bridges are designed to feel natural and comfortable from day one.
How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?
With proper care, dental bridges often last 10–15 years or longer. Their lifespan depends on oral hygiene, bite stress, and routine dental checkups.
How to Care for Your Dental Bridge
Good home care helps maximize the life of your bridge:
1. Brush twice daily, especially around the supporting crowns
2. Floss underneath the bridge with floss threaders or a water flosser
3. Use fluoride toothpaste to strengthen surrounding teeth
4. Schedule regular cleanings every 6 months
5. Avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens
Our team will show you how to clean around your bridge to help prevent decay and gum issues.
