About dental bridges
A dental bridge is used to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the space. The bridge is custom-made to fit comfortably and blend seamlessly with your natural smile, helping to restore normal chewing and speaking while preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. To fit a bridge, your dentist will carefully prepare the supporting teeth, take an impression or digital scan, and have your bespoke bridge made in a dental laboratory before securely fitting it in place. Once fitted, a bridge should be cared for like natural teeth, with twice-daily brushing, careful cleaning around and under the bridge using floss or interdental brushes, and regular dental check-ups to keep it in good condition.
