Dental bridges are one of several options aimed at improving the appearance and function of your teeth by replacing missing teeth. A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, using the surrounding teeth or dental implants as support.
During your exam, we’ll discuss whether dental bridges are right for you, or whether an alternative like a partial denture or implant may better fit your needs. Bridges are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, helping restore both your bite and your confidence.
Bridges: Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental bridges last?
With proper care, dental bridges typically last 10 to 15 years or longer before needing replacement.
Are dental bridges a good option for multiple missing teeth?
Bridges work well for replacing one or a few missing teeth in a row. For more extensive tooth loss, implants or dentures may be a better fit.
How many visits does getting a bridge require?
Most bridges require two visits: one to prepare the supporting teeth and take impressions, and a second to place your custom bridge.
Do bridges feel natural?
Yes, bridges are custom-fitted and shaded to match your natural teeth, so most patients adjust to the feel quickly.
How do I care for a dental bridge?
Brush and floss around your bridge daily, using floss threaders or specialized tools if needed to clean underneath it, and continue regular checkups.
Is a bridge or an implant better for a missing tooth?
It depends on your oral health and goals. Bridges rely on neighboring teeth for support, while implants stand independently. Our team can help you decide during your consultation.
