Overview

What are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is an option for filling the space created by a missing tooth. It is formed to look like the missing tooth and takes its place in the mouth, using the two surrounding teeth for support. A bridge replaces the missing tooth both functionally and cosmetically — and it’s important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible to prevent the chain reaction of problems that follows.

Learn More About Dental Bridges

Bridge work is as much an art as it is an exact science. The materials used may be gold alloys, porcelain bonded to metal alloy, or all-ceramic material. The choice of material depends on requirements for strength, wear, and aesthetics.

It is critical that a missing tooth be replaced as soon as possible. If not treated, the surrounding teeth begin to shift inward. Teeth use their neighbors for support, and with one missing, they start to ‘fall.’ As this worsens the bite changes, which can eventually result in TMJ problems. Gum disease becomes a serious risk and, with continued neglect, more tooth loss follows.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a dental bridge last?

With proper care — good oral hygiene and regular checkups — a dental bridge can last 10–15 years or longer.

Is a bridge better than an implant?

Both are excellent options. A bridge is faster and typically less expensive, but it requires modifying the adjacent teeth. An implant preserves those teeth and the jawbone but takes longer. We'll help you weigh the pros and cons.

How do I clean under a bridge?

Flossing under a bridge requires a floss threader or water flosser to clean beneath the pontic (the artificial tooth). We'll show you the technique at your appointment.

Is getting a bridge painful?

No — the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. There may be some sensitivity afterward that resolves within a few days.
