A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges” the gap between two healthy teeth or implants, holding one or more artificial teeth (pontics) in place. This restoration doesn’t just improve your smile—it brings back full function and prevents further dental issues caused by missing teeth.

Bridges are custom-designed to match your natural teeth, both in shape and color, offering a stable and aesthetically pleasing result.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution in dentistry. That’s why we choose the type of bridge that best suits your dental structure, number of missing teeth, and long-term goals:

• Traditional Bridge: Anchored on crowns placed over neighboring teeth. A time-tested, strong option for single or multiple tooth gaps.

• Cantilever Bridge: Used when only one adjacent tooth is available to support the structure.

• Maryland Bridge: Bonded with wings to the back of adjacent teeth, often used for front teeth with minimal preparation.

• Implant-Supported Bridge: Ideal when multiple teeth are missing, supported entirely by implants instead of natural teeth.

Dental bridges are an excellent solution if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth

• Want a fast, non-surgical fix

• Have healthy neighboring teeth or implants to support the bridge

• Prefer a permanent option to removable dentures

We’ll help determine the most suitable bridge type for your smile and ensure you’re comfortable every step of the way.

Here is what to expect from dental bridge treatment process:

• Consultation & Imaging: We evaluate your teeth, gums, and bone support to plan your treatment.

• Tooth Preparation (if needed): Supporting teeth are reshaped slightly to hold crowns, or implants are placed in prior visits.

• Digital Scans or Impressions: High-precision imaging is used to craft your custom bridge.

• Temporary Bridge: A short-term bridge is placed while the permanent one is being fabricated.

• Final Fitting: Your new bridge is cemented or fixed in place, adjusted for bite and comfort.

You can return to most daily activities right after the procedure. Some mild sensitivity or soreness is normal during the first few days, especially if abutment teeth were prepared. For implant-supported bridges, recovery time may be longer depending on implant healing.

Good oral hygiene is essential:

• Brush and floss carefully (we recommend water flosser)

• Avoid very hard or sticky foods in the first days

• Attend regular dental check-ups to ensure stability and long-term success

With proper care, bridges can last 10–15 years or more.

Advantages:

• Non-surgical and quick to complete

• Restores full bite and natural smile

• Prevents surrounding teeth from shifting

• No need for bone grafts or long healing times

• More affordable than implants

Considerations:

• Supporting teeth may require preparation

• Not suitable if adjacent teeth are weak or decayed

• May need replacement in 10–15 years

• Good oral hygiene is crucial to prevent decay under crowns

Dental bridges are one of the most reliable restorative treatments in modern dentistry. They offer a fast, affordable, and non-surgical alternative to implants—especially ideal for patients who aren’t suitable candidates for surgery or who prefer a simpler path to recovery.

Thanks to today’s advanced materials and techniques, bridges now look and feel more natural than ever. Whether you need to replace one tooth or several, a bridge can restore function, aesthetics, and your confidence—all without the healing time of surgical alternatives.

Still hesitating? For many, a bridge is the perfect middle ground: more stable than dentures, less invasive than implants, and just as effective in the right cases.
