Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges Are Options for Implants

Those who can’t get dental implants because of jawbone strength, cost, or other reasons have another option to fill the gap of a missing tooth or teeth. Dental bridges work well and have been used for decades. They offer function and natural looks so you can live, eat, and smile with confidence.

Types of Dental Bridges

Several types of dental bridges exist but most people get the traditional version where crowns are put on abutment teeth and the bridge is secured between them. There is the Maryland bridge and the implant-support versions. The primary difference is how the bridges are installed.
BOOK APPOINTMENT

Dental Bridges

Traditional bridges use abutment teeth as anchors so they are also secure.

A dental bridge can last up to 15 years but some last longer depending on how well you maintain them.

Implants

Implants last longer than dental bridges but bridges can be just as secure as some bridges are implant-supported.

Pros and Cons

The benefits of getting a dental bridge are that it provides a natural-looking smile, restores teeth function, and keeps adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap. The disadvantages of dental bridges are that it doesn’t withstand trauma or force well, the supporting teeth could fracture if they are weak, and you can still get cavities around or underneath them.
