Bridge

A bridge is a fixed / non removable dental restoration that fills the space where one or more teeth are missing. It is a fixed appliance that is made up of two or more crowns depending on how many teeth are missing. A bridge may also be supported by two or more implants.There are different types of bridges, the traditional bridge, the Maryland bridge and the cantilever bridge. You and your dentist can discuss which one suits you best.

  • Restore your smile

  • Restore your ability to properly chew and speak

  • Maintain the shape of your face

  • Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
