What are dental bridges used for?
Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They fill gaps in your smile by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, help maintain the shape of your face, and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the empty space. They are an effective solution for improving both function and appearance after tooth loss.

How long does a dental bridge last?
A dental bridge typically lasts between 5 to 15 years, depending on the materials used, the patient’s oral hygiene habits, and regular dental checkups. Good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing under the bridge, and professional cleanings, can help extend its lifespan. Avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing on hard objects can also protect your bridge and keep it functional for many years. Our team will assess your restorations during your routine visits, and you can always bring up any questions or concerns about your bridge(s) as well.

Should I get a dental bridge or a dental implant?
Choosing between a dental bridge and a dental implant depends on your specific needs and oral health. Dental bridges are a faster solution, ideal for replacing missing teeth when the surrounding teeth are healthy, and they are less invasive than implants as well. Implants, on the other hand, are more durable and don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support. Our team will assess your oral health, bone density, and preferences to recommend the best option for you!
