What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a custom restoration anchored to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Those teeth are shaped to support crowns that hold the bridge in place.
How is a bridge different from a dental implant?
A bridge relies on the neighbouring natural teeth for support, while an implant replaces the tooth root directly in the jawbone. Your dentist can help you weigh both options based on the condition of the surrounding teeth.
What does getting a dental bridge involve?
The teeth on either side of the gap are shaped, and a temporary bridge is worn while the custom permanent bridge is made. The final bridge is then bonded in place.
- Anchor teeth shaped to support the bridge
- Temporary bridge worn while the permanent one is made
- Final bridge bonded in place at a follow-up visit
Who is a candidate for a dental bridge?
Good candidates have healthy, strong teeth on either side of the gap, since those teeth support the bridge. Your dentist will confirm suitability at a consultation.
How long do dental bridges last?
With good home care and regular checkups, bridges can last many years before needing replacement.
