Restorative Dentistry

Bridges

A fixed, natural-looking way to fill the gap left by missing teeth.

← Back to Restorative Dentistry

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching a replacement tooth to the teeth beside the gap. It's fixed in place, so it doesn't come out like a removable denture.

We'll explain whether a bridge or another option, such as an implant, suits your situation best.

Why patients choose this treatment

Fills the gap

A bridge restores your smile and helps you chew.

Fixed in place

It doesn't need to be removed like a partial denture.

Natural-looking

The replacement tooth is shaped and shaded to blend in.

Helps keep teeth in place

Filling the gap helps keep nearby teeth from drifting.
