Fill gaps caused by one to three missing teeth
A dental bridge fills the space left by missing teeth using a false tooth that is supported by your natural teeth, dental implants, or both. Often called a fixed partial denture, a bridge is permanently cemented in place and does not need to be removed for sleeping or cleaning.
Replacing missing teeth is not just about improving your smile, it also helps preserve the health and function of your entire mouth. Gaps can make it harder to chew or speak clearly, and they often cause surrounding teeth to shift out of place over time.
Long lasting benefits of dental bridges
Comfort
A missing tooth can make daily life more difficult. Gaps may affect how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel when you smile. A bridge restores the natural feel of your mouth and gives you the confidence to enjoy life again. With proper care, bridges can last for more than ten years.
Support for your teeth
Teeth rely on each other for alignment and stability. When one is lost, nearby teeth may begin to drift, which can lead to problems like bite misalignment, jaw discomfort, increased risk of tooth decay, and gum disease. A dental bridge helps maintain the position of your other teeth, keeping your bite healthy and balanced.
Bone and tissue health
Healthy teeth help stimulate the jawbone and maintain facial structure. When teeth are missing, the bone and soft tissues in that area can begin to shrink. A bridge can help slow this process by restoring function and stability to your bite.

Frequently Asked Questions
A bridge is sometimes called a fixed partial denture, which means it is bonded or cemented in place and not removed daily. The main difference is that a bridge stays in your mouth, while a denture can be taken out. Dentures include artificial teeth and a gum colored base, while bridges are just the replacement teeth.
Most bridges are completed in just two appointments, and each visit usually lasts less than an hour.
Dental bridges can be made from porcelain, gold, non precious alloys, or a combination of these. In most cases, we use porcelain because of its natural appearance and durability.
A crown is a cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength and shape. A bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace a missing tooth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the surrounding teeth or implants. Both are prosthetics, but they serve different purposes.
No. A crown needs support from a prepared natural tooth or an implant. It cannot fill a gap on its own. If there is no tooth present, you would need either a bridge or a dental implant to replace the missing tooth.
Yes, bridges can be crafted from zirconia, a strong and natural looking material. If you are interested, we can explain your options and help you decide which material is best suited to your needs.
