Bridges

Literally creating a “bridge” in the gap where one or more teeth used to be, dental bridges replace missing teeth with artificial teeth and help restore your smile. Dental bridges may be “fixed” (bonded in place), or “removable.” Fixed dental bridges are more stable, but can only be removed by a dental professional.

​

When teeth are missing, a dental bridge is highly recommended as its presence can decrease the risk of gum disease and prevent abnormal stress from being placed on the remaining teeth. Left unchecked, this stress can cause a variety of harmful disorders, or cause the mouth to sink and prematurely age the face.
