Replacing missing teeth
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with artificial teeth supported by nearby teeth or dental implants. A fixed bridge stays in place and is not removed for daily cleaning.
Choosing the right design
There are different types of bridges. A traditional bridge commonly uses crowns on supporting teeth on either side of the gap; other designs use different methods of support. Your dentist will evaluate the supporting teeth, gums, and bite before recommending an option.
Living with a bridge
A bridge can help restore chewing and the appearance of your smile. Cleaning around the supporting teeth and beneath the replacement tooth is important. Your dental team can demonstrate suitable cleaning methods and discuss follow-up care.
