Bridges
A bridge is an option to replace a missing tooth (teeth). This treatment has been performed for many years and is the best method to replace a tooth (teeth) when an implant(s) can't be placed. A bridge is anchored to the two teeth adjacent to the the missing tooth (teeth), and is basically multiple crowns connected together.
A bridge has the following characteristics:
- fixed in the mouth - not removable
- requires threading floss underneath the replaced teeth
- can be made of tooth-colored porcelain or gold
- moderately expensive in relation to a removable partial denture
- initially less expensive than an implant, but more expensive long-term as it will most likely require replacement
We would be happy to discuss whether a bridge is the right treatment for you!
