A bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces a missing tooth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighbouring natural teeth or implants.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, bridges can last many years. Longevity varies depending on your bite, oral habits and the supporting teeth.
Bridges are suitable for many patients, but this depends on the health of the supporting teeth and your bite. We’ll assess suitability during your consultation.
Daily brushing, flossing (including under the bridge) and routine dental visits help keep your bridge functioning well.
Alternatives include dental implants or removable dentures. Your dentist will discuss which option best suits your situation.
