Compare replacement options
We review the missing-tooth area and discuss bridges alongside other appropriate options such as implants or removable prosthetics.
Tooth replacement
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed option for replacing one or more missing teeth in the right clinical situation.
What to know
Start with a clear diagnosis and a conversation.
Missing teeth can affect chewing, appearance, and how neighboring teeth function. A bridge spans the space with a fixed restoration supported by teeth or restorations on either side.
What to expect
A straightforward path from concern to next step.
Prepare for the bridge
Supporting teeth are prepared as needed and records are taken for the restoration.
Place and maintain it
The bridge is fitted and bonded, and we show you how to keep the area clean.
Common questions
Questions about dental bridges?
We can answer questions about your specific situation after an exam.
How is a bridge different from an implant?
A traditional bridge relies on neighboring teeth for support, while an implant-supported replacement uses an implant in the jaw. The best option depends on your mouth and priorities.
Can I floss under a bridge?
Yes, but cleaning under a fixed bridge typically requires a floss threader, interdental brush, or another method your dental team can demonstrate.
