Dental Bridges

When a person is missing a tooth or multiple teeth, sometimes a good solution can be to have a bridge. Bridges are useful when the teeth next to the missing one(s) have fillings that are large and may not last too long.

Bridges can be made to look natural. They are strong and are glued in, so they stay put. The important thing with a bridge is that you are shown how to clean around it with a toothbrush and floss, so the gums and teeth stay healthy.

Bridges are best suited to replace a single tooth. If the bridge span is too long there can be too much “rock” and the bridge may not last as long as a shorter bridge.
