What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridges are durable dental restoration made up of two or more dental crowns attached. The two or more anchoring teeth fill the space where teeth are missing. Dental bridges bridge the gap where one or more teeth used to be. They are customized in color, shape, and size, so they blend with the rest of the surrounding natural teeth. An existing crown cannot be used with a dental bridge.
What problems can dental bridges solve?
Even though dental bridges can replace missing teeth which is great for functionality and aesthetics, bridges for teeth also provide other restorative solutions.
- Dental bridges can maintain facial shape.

How long do dental bridges usually last?
While durable, dental bridges aren’t indestructible and will require some care to maintain. On average, bridges for teeth last up to ten years. Good oral hygiene combined with routine dental exams and cleanings can encourage good condition of your dental bridge for years to come. There are fixed bridges and implant-supported bridges. When you visit our office, our team will thoroughly evaluate your oral condition and recommend the best type of bridge for you!
