Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. These bridges “bridge” the gap, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently while maintaining facial structure.

Choosing the Right Dental Bridge

Dental bridges are a flexible solution for replacing missing teeth, offering different options based on your needs. A traditional bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring it to natural teeth or implants on either side. A cantilever bridge requires only one adjacent tooth for support, while a Maryland bridge utilizes a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth for stabilization.

Factors to Consider with Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer a faster alternative to implants and help prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place. However, they do require reshaping adjacent teeth to secure the anchors and may need periodic repair or replacement. Additionally, bridges do not prevent bone loss in the area of the missing tooth.
