Who Needs Dental Bridges and How Do They Work?

Dental bridges are typically recommended for people with one or more missing teeth to restore appearance and chewing function.

A dental bridge literally bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) and a false tooth (pontic) in between.

Leaving a gap unfilled can cause neighboring teeth to drift out of position, leading to bite imbalances, jaw joint stress, and increased risk of gum disease.

If you are seeking a reliable, fixed non-surgical replacement for missing teeth, a custom dental bridge can restore your smile in as few as two comfortable appointments.
