Dental Bridges – Restoring Your Smile with Fixed Tooth Replacements

Dental bridges are a popular solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Unlike dentures, bridges are fixed in place.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to fill the gap created by missing teeth. It is typically made up of two or more crowns that anchor the replacement tooth (or teeth) in place. These crowns are placed on the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap, creating a fixed solution.

Types of Dental Bridges

There are several types of dental bridges, including:

• Traditional bridges: Anchored by natural teeth on either side of the gap.
• Implant-supported bridges: Anchored by dental implants, providing greater stability and longevity
• Maryland bridges: A more conservative option that uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
