What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) supported by crowns placed on adjacent natural teeth or implants. Dental bridges help:
Restore your smile and facial shape
Improve chewing and speaking ability
Prevent teeth from shifting out of position
Maintain bite alignment and jaw health
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
We provide multiple types of bridges based on your specific needs:
Traditional Bridges – Supported by crowns on natural teeth
Implant-Supported Bridges – Anchored by dental implants for maximum stability
Cantilever Bridges – Used when only one adjacent tooth is available
Maryland Bridges – Resin-bonded, often used for front teeth
