What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge literally ‘bridges’ the gap left by missing teeth, using your existing teeth as support. They are permanently attached, making them a stable, reliable, and affordable option for tooth replacement.
Why Do I Need a Dental Bridge?
More than half of Americans are missing at least one permanent tooth. Failing to replace a missing tooth can lead to serious issues, including:
- A change in speech.
- Difficulty chewing and eating.
- Shifting of your remaining teeth.
- Bone loss which causes a collapsed face.
- Loss of confidence.
Does It Hurt?
Getting a dental bridge is not painful at all. 3D imaging will allow us to create your custom bridge without discomfort. If you experience dental anxiety, please tell us! We offer many dental sedation options to keep you relaxed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Bridges
Do I need to replace missing teeth?
Yes. Missing teeth increase your risk of gum disease and bone loss. You may also have difficulty eating, smiling, and speaking clearly if you don’t replace your missing teeth.
What is the difference between a dental crown and a bridge?
A dental crown replaces one tooth while a dental bridge may replace more than one.
A dental crown replaces one tooth while a dental bridge may replace more than one.
Dental bridges are permanently placed in your mouth while partial dentures are removable. This makes bridges more secure and less likely to be lost or damaged.
How long do dental bridges last?
Dental bridges can last up to 10 years with proper care.
How do I care for my dental bridge?
Your dental bridge requires the same care as your natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss, and keep your regularly scheduled dental exams and cleanings.
My tooth has been removed. Now what?
Studies show that missing teeth are linked to serious health issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, and teeth misalignment. Once your tooth is extracted, we’ll discuss your replacement options, including:
Some common choices for replacement include:
- Dental Implants – function just like your natural tooth and last for decades.
- Dental Bridges – false teeth that connect to your natural teeth and bridge the gap.
- Dentures – affordable, removable appliances that can replace one or multiple teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – a hybrid of implants and dentures that can replace many teeth at once with as few as four implants.
