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!
