Dental bridges are prosthetic devices anchored onto existing teeth or implants to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of two or more crowns for the anchoring teeth (abutments) and a false tooth/teeth (pontics) in between.

The process for getting a dental bridge typically involves:

• Preparing the abutment teeth for crowns.
• Taking impressions to create a custom bridge.
• Fitting a temporary bridge while your permanent bridge is made.
• Placing and adjusting the final bridge for comfort and functionality.

Dental bridges offer several benefits:

• They restore the ability to chew and speak properly.
• Bridges maintain the shape of your face and prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
• They offer a durable and cosmetic solution for missing teeth.

Proper care is essential to extend the life of your dental bridge. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental check-ups and cleanings.
