What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a permanent, non-removable solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Have you lost one or more teeth? You might be a great candidate for a bridge. With this procedure, the bridge is held in place by the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap in your smile. It consists of two crowns for the anchoring teeth and a false tooth (pontic) in between. This restorative treatment not only fills the gap but also restores your ability to chew and speak with confidence while preventing the shifting of other teeth. Our bridges are custom-made from durable materials to match your natural teeth, ensuring a beautiful and functional result.
What to Expect During a
Dental Bridge Procedure
Initial Consultation
We’ll perform a thorough examination, take X-rays, and discuss if a dental bridge is the best option to replace your missing teeth.
Preparation of Abutment Teeth
The teeth on either side of the gap are gently prepared to receive the crowns that will support the bridge.
Impressions & Temporary Bridge
Precise impressions are taken to send to a lab where your custom bridge will be crafted. A temporary bridge may be placed while you wait.
Final Fitting & Placement
Once the permanent bridge is ready, we’ll ensure it fits perfectly and then cement it securely into place.
Did You Know?
The healthy teeth adjacent to the gap are called “abutment teeth” and are essential for supporting the dental bridge. A tooth bridge provides a long-lasting, non-removable solution for missing teeth, offering a stable alternative to removable partial dentures.

Bridges FAQs
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a great way to replace missing teeth. It is a custom-made dental restoration that “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It is made up of a false tooth (or teeth) held in place by two or more crowns cemented onto the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap, restoring the aesthetics and function of your smile.
Why might I need a dental bridge?
If you have lost one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or normal aging, you might be a great candidate for a dental bridge. A tooth bridge not only restores your ability to chew and speak properly but also prevents the remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to further oral health problems. This procedure is a reliable and long-lasting solution for filling gaps in your smile.
How long does it take to get a dental bridge?
The process for getting a dental bridge typically requires two to three visits. The first visit involves preparing the adjacent teeth and taking impressions. The second visit is for the final fitting and cementing of the bridge. This multi-step approach ensures a precise, comfortable, and natural-looking fit that will last for years.
