How Dental Bridges Help

Dental Bridges Are An Option for Replacement

Dental bridges have long been a solution to replace missing teeth and give people tooth function. They also can improve appearance. Dental bridges look like natural teeth but aren’t implanted. They rely on support from adjacent teeth. 

Why Consider Dental Bridges?

Some patients aren't eligible for dental implants or want something more affordable. Dental bridges fill this need. 

A dental bridge is attached to teeth on both sides of the gap to stay in place. It is the same colour and looks like natural teeth so it isn't recognisable. 

Dental bridges can restore chewing function lost to extracted molars.
