Dental bridges (also known as tooth bridges) can be used when one or more teeth are missing in the same area of the mouth. First, a customized restoration is created to fill in the empty space.
Then, the restoration is secured to nearby teeth or an implant using a dental crown. This treatment "bridges" the space over the area where the missing teeth were extracted.
During your consultation, we will assess the health of the surrounding teeth to see if they are strong enough to support a fixed dental bridge. Depending on the location of the missing teeth, we might recommend the placement of a dental implant to provide the foundation needed to hold the bridge in place.
