Bridge the Gap to a Healthy Smile
Much like their name implies dental bridges ‘bridge the gap’ between one or more consecutive missing teeth. A bridge consists of two parts: the abutment crowns which attach to your existing teeth, and the replacement crowns that fill in the gaps created by the missing teeth. These prosthetics look and feel just like your natural teeth, helping to restore your smile and allowing you to enjoy a wider range of foods. Speak to your dentist today about the benefits of dental bridges.

What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic that attaches to your healthy teeth and fills in any gaps created by missing teeth with natural looking crowns. These restorations blend seamlessly with your real teeth, so nobody will know they’re bridges, and they are strong, so you won’t have to give up the foods you love to wear them.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are two types of dental bridges, traditional and implant bridges. Each of these prosthetics work the same way, but which one you receive will depend on how many teeth you need to replace.
Traditional Dental Bridges
Traditional dental bridges are used when you are missing one tooth. Because they must be anchored to the two closest surrounding teeth, they can only be installed if those teeth are in good condition.
Implant Bridge
If you are missing three or more consecutive teeth, an implant bridge is an excellent solution. Implant bridges are attached by installing two permanent implants, and then fitted with the bridge itself. It is important to note that it will take several months for the implants to heal enough to accommodate the weight of the bridge.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge
There are many benefits to getting a dental bridge. These restorations help fill in any gaps in your smile that are caused by missing teeth, making it easier for you to chew a variety of foods, as well as to smile freely without embarrassment. They also help keep your existing teeth in alignment, reducing your risk of jaw pain and bite problems.
Dental bridges are more affordable than other prosthetic solutions, and because they are customized to your individual mouth, they look and feel just like natural teeth!
