A dental bridge may be used to fill the space(s) left by missing teeth. A bridge helps maintain the full function of your teeth and mouth and the look of your smile.

A bridge is attached to the teeth on either side of a missing tooth or teeth. The space that the bridge spans is filled with natural looking artificial teeth. A bridge can be made of a combination of gold, alloys, and porcelain for strength and natural appearance.

The success of any bridge depends on its foundation — the other teeth to which it is attached. Therefore, it's very important to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong.
