What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge, often referred to as a “fixed partial denture,” is a restorative treatment designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by securely connecting to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants next to the gap. Essentially, a dental bridge “bridges” the space left by a missing tooth or teeth, comprising two or more crowns on either side of the gap, with a prosthetic tooth in between. When you lose teeth, your remaining teeth can shift out of alignment, which can lead to bite issues. A bridge stabilizes your bite and restores both form and function, preventing further damage to your teeth and gums while also enhancing your smile.
