Bridges are dental devices used to substitute one or more missing teeth. They are designed to look just like your natural teeth, restoring the appearance and function of your teeth.

A bridge works by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. A prosthetic tooth fills the gap, maintaining the structure of your smile.

Are dental bridges permanent?

Yes, dental bridges can only be removed by your dentist.

How long can dental bridges last?

Dental bridges typically last 5 to 15 years, sometimes even longer.

Will getting a dental bridge affect how I eat and speak?

A dental bridge can help you chew your food better. Until you become accustomed to having the bridge in your mouth eat soft foods that are cut into small pieces.

Adjusting to speaking with your dental bridge may take some time. You may experience difficulty pronouncing certain words but overtime your speech will improve.

Why should I get a dental bridge instead of an implant?

Dental bridges are a quick, easy and affordable solution to replace missing teeth. Bridges can be completed in 2 appointments. A dental bridge is also more suitable for patients with insufficient jaw bone density.
