Bridges

Dental bridges are artificial teeth that replace one or more missing teeth. The artificial teeth are held in place with the help of crowns placed on adjacent natural teeth on either side of the missing. To prepare for a dental bridge, the dentist will usually file down the 2 healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

Most frequently asked questions

Dentists often recommend bridges instead of dentures if the patient has enough healthy teeth left. The healthy teeth can act as anchors for bridges, as opposed to dentures that must be anchored to the gums using some type of temporary sealant which is not as secure. And bridges can also help keep the other teeth from changing position in the mouth.
