Dental Bridges

Overview

A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth using a replacement tooth (or teeth) supported by the neighbouring teeth or by implants. It restores appearance and function and helps maintain the position of surrounding teeth.

Your dentist will discuss whether a conventional bridge or an implant-supported design better suits your gap, bite and long-term goals.
