Care Type

Outpatient

A dental bridge is recommended to replace one or more missing teeth, restoring the ability to chew properly, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap, and maintaining normal facial structure and bite alignment. It's chosen when a patient has healthy adjacent teeth or implants that can support the bridge, or prefers a fixed alternative to a removable denture.

Signs You May Need Dental Bridge

A visible gap from a missing tooth, difficulty chewing on one side, shifting or tilting of neighboring teeth, and changes in bite alignment are common reasons patients seek a dental bridge. Some patients also notice their face beginning to look sunken around the missing tooth, prompting them to seek replacement.

Types of Dental Bridge

A traditional bridge anchors to crowns placed on the natural teeth adjacent to the gap, while an implant-supported bridge anchors to dental implants instead, avoiding the need to alter healthy neighboring teeth. A cantilever bridge, supported by a tooth on only one side, is used in specific situations where there's only one adjacent tooth available.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a dental bridge last?

With good oral hygiene, a bridge typically lasts 10-15 years or longer before it may need replacement.

Is getting a bridge painful?

The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain, though some sensitivity is normal for the first couple of weeks as you adjust.

How do I clean under a dental bridge?

Special floss threaders or a water flosser are used to clean beneath the bridge daily, which your dentist will show you how to use properly.

Can a bridge be done in one visit?

No, it typically requires 2-3 appointments to prepare the teeth, take impressions, and fit the final bridge.

What's the difference between a bridge and an implant?

A bridge relies on adjacent teeth for support while an implant stands independently in the jawbone; your dentist can help determine which is better suited to your specific situation and budget.
