What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that “bridges the gap” left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) anchored in place by dental crowns or implants attached to the natural neighboring teeth.
Bridges can be made from different durable, tooth-colored materials like porcelain or ceramic, offering a natural appearance and strong bite.

The Dental Bridge Process
Getting a dental bridge involves a few visits and this is how it looks:
Consultation & Treatment Planning
We start with a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays to evaluate your smile and determine if a bridge is right for you. We’ll discuss your goals and explain your options so you can feel confident moving forward.
Tooth Preparation & Impressions
To support your bridge, we’ll gently reshape the teeth next to the gap. Then, we’ll take impressions of your mouth to create a custom-fit bridge. You’ll also receive a temporary bridge to protect your smile while the final one is being made.
Final Bridge Placement
When your permanent bridge is ready, we’ll remove the temporary one, check the fit of the new bridge, and bond it securely in place. We’ll make sure everything feels comfortable and looks right.
Aftercare & Support
We’ll give you easy tips for caring for your new bridge at home and schedule regular checkups to keep everything in great shape.
With good dental habits and routine dental visits, your bridge can last many years.
