What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge fills the space where a tooth is missing by connecting an artificial tooth to the neighboring teeth or to dental implants. The goal is to restore your ability to chew and speak.
The replacement tooth, called a pontic, looks and feels very realistic. Each bridge is made to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, blending in so well that most people will not notice the difference!
When a Bridge May Be Recommended
A bridge might be a good option when a missing tooth leaves a noticeable gap, especially if that space makes it hard to chew or speak. It can also help when nearby teeth begin to shift or when a tooth is too damaged to support a filling or crown on its own.Â
Bridges are often ideal for people who want a stable, non-removable option that provides a strong bite.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
Replacing a missing tooth with a bridge has several lasting benefits:
- Restores your bite, making eating and speaking easier again
- Prevents shifting by keeping nearby teeth in place
- Improves your smile with a more complete appearance
- Boosts your confidence so you feel good about showing your teeth again
With proper care, a dental bridge can last for many years and help protect your overall oral health.
