A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the adjacent natural teeth or implants, restoring both function and appearance.
Bridging the Gap Left by Missing Teeth
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the adjacent natural teeth or implants, restoring both function and appearance.
Bridges prevent surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap and help maintain your natural bite and facial shape.
When a Bridge May Help
- One or more missing teeth affecting your bite
- Difficulty chewing on one side
- Surrounding teeth beginning to shift or tilt
- Gaps affecting your speech or confidence to smile
