Understanding Dental Bridges
A bridge replaces a gap using support from suitable nearby teeth or implants. The best approach depends on the health of the surrounding teeth, gums and jawbone.
What to expect
Your care plan should be based on an in-person assessment. The following steps are common considerations, not a guarantee that every treatment is appropriate.
- Review of the missing-tooth space
- Discussion of bridge and implant alternatives
- Design, fitting and long-term maintenance guidance
Individualized care
Ask the dental team about expected benefits, alternatives, costs, risks and follow-up before making treatment decisions.
