What is a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges fill the gap created due to a missing tooth and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting. They provide a stable biting surface, making chewing easier and preserving the alignment of your bite, thus reducing strain on your other teeth and jaw.

How Does a Dental Bridge Work?

A dental bridge is an artificial tooth which is attached to two crowns. The crowns are fixed over the patient’s existing teeth on either side of the gap, creating a strong and uniform biting surface. Like single dental crowns, dental bridges are made from durable materials, typically a combination of metal and porcelain fused together. Once bonded in place, bridges become a permanent part of your dental structure and cannot be removed.

Getting a dental bridge typically involves multiple appointments:

Preparation: The teeth adjacent to the missing tooth, called “abutment teeth,” are reshaped to accommodate the crowns that will support the bridge.
Impression: An impression of your teeth is taken to create a custom-fitted bridge.
Temporary Bridge: A temporary restoration is placed to protect the prepared teeth while permanent bridge is being prepared.

Final Placement: Once the bridge is ready, you return to the dental office for its permanent attachment to the abutment teeth.
