Dental Bridges

One way to replace a missing tooth is using a dental bridge. Here the dentist can close the gap -or bridge- the gap using a dental bridge or false tooth. It is held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap.

There are a few different types of bridges commonly used. They depend on the location of your missing tooth and the location and condition of the adjacent teeth.

Adhesive bridges have a metal wing that adheres to the adjacent tooth and are an easy way to replace a missing tooth and are very minimally invasive.

Some bridges need to use a crown to support the false tooth. Your dentist can discuss all the options available with you.
