What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or restorations on either side of the gap.
Bridges are a common solution within restorative dentistry, helping restore balance and prevent shifting of surrounding teeth.
How Dental Bridges Work
A bridge is made up of two main components:
- Anchor teeth (abutments) that support the bridge
- One or more artificial teeth (pontics) that fill the space
The restoration is securely placed to restore both appearance and function, allowing you to eat and speak more comfortably.
When Is a Dental Bridge Recommended?
Dental bridges may be recommended if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth in a row
- Want a fixed, non-removable solution
- Have healthy teeth adjacent to the gap
- Want to prevent shifting or bite changes
Replacing missing teeth early helps maintain proper alignment and oral health.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges provide both functional and cosmetic improvements:
- Restores your ability to chew effectively
- Maintains facial structure and smile alignment
- Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting
- Provides a natural-looking appearance
- Fixed in place for convenience and stability
They are a dependable option for restoring your smile.
The Dental Bridge Process
The process is carefully planned to ensure a secure and precise fit.
Evaluation and Preparation
The surrounding teeth are assessed and prepared to support the bridge.
Digital Impressions
Accurate scans are taken using advanced dental technology to ensure proper fit and alignment.
Temporary Restoration
A temporary bridge may be placed while the final restoration is created.
Final Placement
The custom bridge is secured and adjusted for comfort and function.
Each step is designed to provide a stable and natural result.
How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?

Factors that affect longevity include:
- Daily oral hygiene habits
