Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They “bridge” the gap between teeth using a custom-made replacement tooth that is supported by nearby natural teeth or dental implants.
This treatment helps restore your smile, improve chewing, and maintain proper tooth alignment.
A dental bridge is made up of one or more artificial teeth placed in the space where teeth are missing. The bridge is held in place by crowns on the teeth next to the gap or by implants.
Each bridge is custom-designed to match your natural teeth in shape and color.

The process usually involves examining your teeth, preparing the supporting teeth, and taking impressions. A custom bridge is then created to fit your mouth.
Once ready, the bridge is placed and adjusted for a comfortable bite and natural appearance.
Missing teeth can affect both function and confidence. Dental bridges offer a reliable way to fill gaps and restore balance to your smile. With proper care, they can last for many years and support better oral health.
