Bridges

What is a bridge?
A bridge is a fixed (non-removable) replacement of a missing tooth (or teeth) that is held in place by neighboring teeth.

Whom does a bridge benefit?
A bridge can be used to replace a lost tooth or a group of teeth. Bridges are recommended for those who wish a more permanent solution than a removable partial denture. Bridges are strong, attractive, and comfortable. Bridges are not necessarily the best treatment option for every situation, so a thorough examination is indicated to determine candidacy.

How is it done?
Bridges are made specifically to blend with your surrounding teeth. The bridge tooth or teeth in the middle can be attached to the neighboring teeth by several methods. Bridges typically take 2-3 appointments to complete, and a temporary bridge is placed between appointments.
