Bridges

If you are missing one or more teeth, you may notice a difference in smiling, chewing and speaking. There are options to help restore your smile. In addition to implants or a removable partial denture (RPD), a bridge may be an available option that should be discussed with the dentists.

Sometimes called a “fixed partial denture“, a bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks natural, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. The restoration can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials and is attached onto surrounding teeth for support. Unlike a removable partial denture, which you can take out and clean, a fixed bridge is not removed.
