Replace missing teeth with natural-looking dental bridges that restore your smile, confidence, and proper chewing function.
A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between your natural teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are supported by natural teeth or implants on either side, creating a seamless replacement that looks and functions like your natural teeth.
Dental bridges are an excellent solution for patients who want to restore their smile without the longer treatment time and higher cost of dental implants. They are durable, natural-looking, and can last 5-15 years with proper care.
There are several types of dental bridges, each designed for different situations and tooth replacement needs:
Uses two dental crowns to support the artificial tooth. Most common and durable option for replacing teeth.
Uses only one supporting crown. Ideal when there's only one natural tooth next to the gap.
Uses a metal or ceramic wing bonded to the back of supporting teeth. Conservative option with minimal tooth preparation.

With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges typically last between 5 to 15 years. Some bridges can last even longer with excellent oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding hard or sticky foods. The lifespan depends on the type of bridge, the location, and how well you care for it.
The dental bridge procedure is not painful as we use local anesthesia to numb the area. You may feel some pressure and vibration during tooth preparation, but no pain. After the procedure, you might experience slight sensitivity or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days.
Care for your bridge by brushing twice daily, using special floss or a water flosser to clean underneath the bridge, and visiting us for regular check-ups. Avoid chewing on hard objects, sticky foods, and maintain good oral hygiene. A bridge requires special care as food can accumulate under the artificial tooth.
A properly cemented bridge is very secure and shouldn't fall out under normal circumstances. However, poor oral hygiene, decay in supporting teeth, or trauma can compromise the bond. If your bridge feels loose, contact us immediately for repair or re-cementation.
A bridge is supported by adjacent natural teeth, while an implant is supported by a titanium post anchored in the jawbone. Bridges are faster and more affordable but require preparation of supporting teeth. Implants are more expensive and take longer but don't affect adjacent teeth and last longer.
