What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges” the gap between healthy teeth by anchoring to natural teeth or implants on either side.
A bridge typically includes:
- Abutment teeth: the healthy teeth (or implants) on either side of the gap
- Pontic: the artificial tooth or teeth that replace the missing ones
Bridges are cemented in place and do not need to be removed. They restore chewing function, support facial structure, and prevent other teeth from shifting out of alignment.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
Traditional Bridges
- Anchored by two dental crowns placed on natural teeth
- Best for patients with healthy teeth adjacent to the missing tooth
- Often made of ceramic or porcelain fused to metal
Implant-Supported Bridges
- Secured by one or more dental implants instead of natural teeth
- Ideal for patients missing several teeth in a row
- More stable and bone-supportive than traditional bridges
Ceramic & Porcelain Options
- Designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency
- Durable and metal-free for superior esthetics
- Great for visible areas of the smile
If a supporting tooth is compromised, we may recommend a dental crown before placing the bridge.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
Digital Exam & Imaging
We assess the missing tooth area and adjacent teeth using digital X-rays and 3D scans.
Tooth Preparation (Traditional Bridges)
The abutment teeth are shaped to accommodate crowns. If you're receiving an implant-supported bridge, implants will be placed first.
Impressions & Temporary Bridge
We take a digital scan to custom-design your bridge and place a temporary bridge for comfort.
Final Bridge Placement
Once ready, we bond your permanent bridge and make any final adjustments for fit, function, and bite alignment.
Bridges are often part of a complete restorative treatment plan, especially in cases involving multiple missing or damaged teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restores full chewing function
- Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting
- Improves bite and facial structure
- Enhances speech clarity
- Natural-looking, fixed solution
- Faster than full implant replacement for certain cases
FAQs About Dental Bridges
How long does a dental bridge last?
With good care, a bridge can last 10–15 years or longer. Regular hygiene and professional cleanings are essential.
Is a bridge better than a partial denture?
Bridges are fixed and offer better stability, chewing ability, and aesthetics compared to removable partial dentures.
Do bridges require special care?
Yes. While they don’t come out, bridges require daily flossing beneath the pontic and routine dental visits for maintenance.
Can I get a bridge if I’m missing multiple teeth?
Yes. We offer implant-supported bridges to replace several adjacent missing teeth.
Will insurance cover my bridge?
Most insurance plans cover a portion of bridge costs. Visit our Patient Information page for details and financing options.
