Bridges

A bridge fills the gap from a missing tooth by anchoring a false tooth to the healthy teeth on either side with crowns. It's a fixed (non-removable) solution that restores chewing and keeps surrounding teeth from shifting.

• A single missing tooth between two healthy, strong neighboring teeth
• Patients who want a fixed replacement without the surgery involved in an implant
• Situations where implants aren't possible due to bone loss

Two visits, similar to a pair of crowns:

1. Prep — the anchoring teeth are shaped to receive crowns; impressions are taken.
2. Placement — the three-unit bridge is fitted, checked, and cemented.
