What is a Dental Bridge?
When a patient is missing teeth, for whatever reason, a dental bridge is a practical and cost-effective way to “bridges” the gap in order to restore look and function. A dental bridge is an appliance that usually has a crown on either side and one or more prosthetic teeth in the middle. A dental laboratory fabricates it using porcelain, composite resin, metal, or a combination of materials to ensure lasting durability and strength. Once the dental lab fabricates the bridge, your dentist places it by anchoring it to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
What to Expect
Because dental bridge placement requires a fair amount of preparation, it does take more than one appointment to complete the procedure. However, the results are always worth it. A high-quality dental bridge can last 10 years or more with proper care, making it one of the most economical tooth replacement options available.
