Dental Bridge
Dental bridges effectively restore your smile by filling gaps left by missing teeth. Bridges not only improve appearance and confidence but also help maintain proper chewing and speaking functions. Designed to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, bridges can help prevent surrounding teeth from shifting and maintain your facial structure.
Schedule Consultation What Is A Dental Bridge?
Living with missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance. It can make eating and speaking difficult, and even impact your self-esteem. Fortunately, there is a modern solution for missing teeth: a dental bridge.
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by “anchoring” artificial teeth to the healthy, natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Your teeth act as sturdy pillars, and the bridge spans the gap between them – filling the empty space with beautiful, functional replacement teeth.

More FAQsTypes of Dental Bridges
Here’s a fun fact: Not all bridges are created equal! There are actually several types of dental bridges available – each with its own benefits and uses. Our team of experts will help you determine which option may be best for your smile.
Traditional Dental Bridge
A traditional dental bridge is by far the most common type - and for good reason. The conventional bridge includes crowns for the teeth on either side of your gap (abutment teeth) with artificial teeth (pontics) suspended between them.
Cantilever Bridge
Some individuals only have teeth on one side of the gap, which can make a traditional bridge difficult to implement. Fortunately, a cantilever bridge can help. This specialized bridge anchors to one or more teeth on just one side of the missing tooth space.
Maryland Bonded Bridge
Are you looking for a more conservative option? A Maryland bonded bridge (sometimes called a resin-bonded bridge) might be the answer.
Instead of crowns, a Maryland bonded bridge uses a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the backs of your adjacent teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge
When you need to replace multiple missing teeth, another great option is an implant-supported bridge. Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, an implant-supported bridge anchors to dental implants placed directly in your jawbone. Implant-supported bridges don't require altering any natural teeth, and they can last a lifetime with proper care.
