Dental bridges can help restore the look and function of your teeth. It bridges the gap where the missing tooth is.
If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap with one or more artificial (false) teeth. A bridge is typically made of crowns on either side of the missing tooth or teeth supporting the pontic (false tooth) and is cemented in place.

If you have a missing tooth or teeth, dental bridges can be a great option for you. The most common causes of missing teeth are tooth decay, gum disease, injury, or a congenital condition. To get a dental bridge, you need healthy teeth on either side of the missing ones.

Your mouth and teeth work together as a team. When a tooth is missing, your other teeth can start to shift. This causes Bite problems,chewing difficulties, pain from the stress on your teeth and jaw, and in most cases, self-consciousness about the way you look or your smile.

Dental bridges can last at least five to seven years. With good oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings, the bridge may last more than 10 years.

You can either get a partial denture, which are removable false teeth. Or, you can get a dental implant, which is surgically placed.
