Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a restorative option used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring an artificial tooth, or teeth, to neighbouring support teeth or in some cases to implants.

A dental bridge is a restorative option used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring an artificial tooth, or teeth, to neighbouring support teeth or in some cases to implants.
How Bridges Work
A bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth and is made to match the shape and size of surrounding teeth as closely as possible.
Types of Bridges
Depending on the case, options may include:
- fixed bridges
- cantilever bridges
- adhesive bridges
The Procedure
Bridge treatment usually requires at least two visits. Support teeth are prepared, impressions or scans are taken, a temporary restoration may be placed, and the final bridge is fitted later.
Your dentist will assess whether a bridge is suitable or whether another tooth replacement option may be more appropriate.
