What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring artificial teeth (called pontics) to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap.
  • Traditional Bridges – Supported by crowns placed on adjacent teeth.

  • Cantilever Bridges – Anchored on one side when only one adjacent tooth is available.

  • Implant-Supported Bridges – Attached to dental implants instead of natural teeth.

We’ll help you choose the best type of bridge based on your needs, oral health, and budget.

Why You Might Need a Dental Bridge

  • Missing one or more teeth in a row

  • Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly

  • Shifting of surrounding teeth due to a gap

  • Changes in facial shape or bite alignment

  • Desire to restore a complete, confident smile

Don’t ignore the gap. A dental bridge can protect your oral health and help you feel confident again.

Answers to Your Questions

With proper care, dental bridges can last 10–15 years or even longer. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene are key.

The procedure is not painful. We use local anesthesia during preparation, and most patients report only mild soreness afterward.

Yes! Once your bridge is placed and you’ve adjusted, you’ll be able to eat comfortably and confidently.

Brush and floss daily, especially around the bridge. Use a floss threader or water flosser to clean under the bridge and attend regular cleanings.

It depends on your specific situation. Implants are more permanent but cost more. Bridges are quicker and more affordable, especially if the surrounding teeth already need crowns.

Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost. We’ll help you verify your benefits and explore financing options if needed.
