Arrange a visit ↗Understanding dental bridges.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using support from neighboring teeth or, in some cases, implants. The condition of the supporting structures and the way your teeth meet help determine whether a bridge is appropriate. We can discuss alternatives so you understand the choices before committing.
What we can discuss.
- The location and size of the gap
- Health of the teeth that may support the bridge
- Cleaning access and ongoing maintenance

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Your questions, answered.
How does a bridge differ from a denture?
A conventional bridge is fixed in place. A removable denture can be taken out. Suitability depends on the teeth and tissues available for support.
Does a bridge need special cleaning?
Your dentist will explain how to clean around the supporting teeth and beneath the replacement tooth or teeth.
Can I compare a bridge with an implant?
Yes. Ask about the advantages, limitations, and treatment steps of each appropriate option.
