Restorative Dentistry
Bridges
A fixed, non-removable way to fill the gap from one or more missing teeth using your own surrounding teeth for support.
Book Appointment
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a custom-made replacement tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap — restoring your bite without surgery and without anything to take in or out.
Because it's permanently bonded in place, a bridge functions and feels like your own teeth from the day it's placed, closing the gap both cosmetically and functionally.

FAQ
Questions about bridges
How long do bridges last?
With good oral hygiene, a bridge typically lasts 10-15 years or longer before it needs to be replaced.
Is a bridge better than an implant?
Both are good options — a bridge doesn't require surgery and can be completed faster, while an implant doesn't rely on neighboring teeth. We'll help you weigh what's right for your case.
Can I eat normally with a bridge?
Yes, once placed, a bridge functions like your natural teeth for eating and speaking, with no dietary restrictions.
Does getting a bridge require reshaping healthy teeth?
Yes, the supporting teeth need to be lightly reshaped to hold the bridge — this is a permanent step, which is part of why we make sure a bridge is the right long-term choice for you first.
How do I clean under a bridge?
A special floss threader or water flosser helps clean beneath the replacement tooth — we'll show you the technique at your fitting appointment.
What happens if a supporting tooth develops a problem later?
We monitor the anchor teeth at every checkup; if one ever needs treatment, we address it early to protect the whole bridge.
