What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is one or more artificial teeth supported by two dental crowns placed on the healthy teeth at either end of the gap created by tooth loss. In some cases, they are supported instead by two dental implants inserted into the jawbone. A bridge is used to replace one or several lost teeth, and it can be made from metal or ceramic materials. Virtually anyone who has lost teeth but is in otherwise good oral health can receive dental bridges, and we’ll be happy to address oral infections with appropriate restorative treatments if necessary to make you an excellent candidate.

Types of Dental Bridges

Traditional Dental Bridge

A traditional dental bridge is one or two artificial teeth supported by dental crowns placed on the healthy teeth on either end of the gap created by tooth loss. This creates an affordable and durable restoration that can be placed in several weeks.

Implant Bridge

An implant bridge is two or more artificial teeth supported by dental implants surgically inserted into the jawbone through the gum tissue. While the process of placing them takes several months, these devices can deliver superior chewing power and appliance longevity.
