Dental Bridges
A fixed replacement that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored to the teeth on either side.
A dental bridge literally bridges a gap. Replacement teeth are joined to crowns that fit over the healthy teeth next to the space, creating a single fixed restoration. Bridges restore your bite and smile and keep neighboring teeth from drifting out of place.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Patients missing one or a few teeth in a row who have strong, healthy teeth on both sides of the gap and prefer a non-removable option.
What to Expect
Over two visits we prepare the supporting teeth, take a digital scan and place a temporary bridge. Your final bridge is custom-made to match your natural teeth, then checked for fit and bite before it is cemented in place.
