Dental bridges replace missing teeth and restore the natural shape and function of your smile. They’re a dependable option when one or more teeth are lost, helping you chew comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain proper alignment.

What a Bridge Does

A bridge fills the space left by a missing tooth using a custom artificial tooth (a pontic) supported by crowns on the neighboring teeth. Each bridge is designed to blend with your natural enamel so the result looks smooth and balanced.

How the Process Works

Getting a bridge typically takes two visits.

  • First visit:
    The supporting teeth are prepared for crowns, and precise impressions are taken. These impressions guide the creation of your custom bridge.
  • Second visit:
    The finished bridge is placed, adjusted for comfort, and bonded securely. Your bite is checked to ensure everything feels natural and stable.

Caring for Your Bridge

Good home care keeps a bridge healthy for years. Daily brushing, flossing around and under the bridge, and routine cleanings help prevent decay and gum inflammation around the supporting teeth.

A well‑made bridge can last many years with proper care. If you’re considering replacing a missing tooth, we can walk you through your options and help you choose the approach that fits your needs and goals.
