Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are custom oral appliances created by your dentist to replace missing teeth & restore your smile. Bridges are usually made to resemble your natural teeth, but can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, alloys or gold. There are several types of bridges that vary in stability, application & cost. Fixed bridges are cemented to the natural teeth on either side of the missing tooth. An implant-supported bridge is similar to a traditional bridge, but it rests atop dental implants instead of natural teeth. Before attaching a bridge to dental implants, your implants must fully integrate (fuse) with your jawbone.
