Bridges
A bridge is exactly what it sounds like. It fills the gap left by a missing tooth by anchoring a replacement to the teeth on either side. Fixed in place, natural looking, and built to last.
A permanent solution without surgery.
How It Works
A bridge is anchored by two crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap. Those crowns support an artificial tooth in between, restoring the look and function of what was lost. It's non-removable, comfortable, and typically completed in two appointments.
More than just appearance.
Why a Missing Tooth Is Worth Addressing
A gap in your smile does more than affect how it looks. Over time the surrounding teeth shift toward the empty space, your bite changes, and bone loss begins in the area. A bridge stops all of that from happening while restoring your ability to eat and speak normally.
Worth knowing.
Bridges vs. Implants
Both replace missing teeth. The difference is that a bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support while an implant is anchored independently in the jawbone. A bridge is a good solution when the adjacent teeth are healthy enough to serve as anchors and when implant surgery isn't the right fit. We'll help you understand which option makes more sense for your situation.
Comfort is always available.
If You're Anxious About the Procedure
Getting a bridge involves preparing the anchor teeth and working across a few appointments. If sitting in the chair for extended time is a concern, sedation options are available. We'll talk through what would make the experience easier before anything begins.
