Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Comprising artificial teeth, called pontics, supported by dental crowns affixed to the neighboring teeth or implants, bridges restore the smile's function and aesthetics.
Bridges help maintain proper alignment, prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, and improve chewing ability and speech clarity by filling in the empty spaces left by missing teeth. Custom-designed to match the color, shape, and size of natural teeth, dental bridges seamlessly blend in with the surrounding dentition, providing a durable and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement.
Did you know that dental bridges typically last between five and 15 years or longer with good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups?

Traditional dental bridges are the most common type and consist of pontics (artificial teeth) suspended between two dental crowns anchored to adjacent natural teeth. These adjacent teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to accommodate the crowns, providing stability and support to the bridge. Traditional bridges are suitable for replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth and offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration.
Did you know that according to the American College of Prosthodontists, an estimated 15 million people in the United States have crowns or bridges to replace missing teeth?
