Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Dental bridges offer a reliable solution to restore missing teeth and complete your smile. Explore your options at Legacy Dental and reclaim a healthy, functional smile!
What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) fabricated from durable materials like porcelain and securely anchored to the surrounding healthy teeth with dental crowns. These crowned teeth act as pillars, supporting the bridge and restoring the function and appearance of your smile.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restore functionality of missing teeth, allowing you to bite, chew, and speak clearly.
- Enhance facial structure and prevent sagging caused by missing teeth.
- Improve your smile’s aesthetics and boost confidence in social settings.
- Durable and long-lasting solution with proper care (mention lifespan here, e.g., 10+ years).
Types of Dental Crowns
Traditional Fixed Bridges
Dental crowns are placed on healthy teeth on either side of the gap, supporting artificial teeth (pontics) in between.
BOOK NOW
Cantilever Bridges
A single crown is placed on a healthy tooth to support one or more pontics. This option is less common due to increased stress on the supporting tooth.
BOOK NOW
Implant-Supported Bridges
Dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone provide support for the bridge, eliminating the need to modify healthy teeth. This is often the most durable and long-lasting option.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many missing teeth can a dental bridge replace?
Dental bridges can typically replace one or several missing teeth, usually up to three. However, the suitability depends on the location and health of the surrounding teeth. During your consultation, the dentist will assess your specific situation and determine the feasibility of a bridge and the number of teeth it can effectively replace.
What are the different types of dental bridges?
There are three main types of dental bridges:
- Traditional Fixed Bridges (most common): Dental crowns are placed on healthy teeth on either side of the gap, anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) in between. This is the most common and versatile option.
- Cantilever Bridges: A single crown is placed on a healthy tooth to support one or more pontics. This option is less common due to placing more stress on the supporting tooth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone provide support for the bridge, eliminating the need to modify healthy teeth. This is often the most durable and long-lasting option, but requires a surgical procedure for implant placement.
Are dental bridges strong and durable?
With proper care, dental bridges can last for 10 years or even longer. The type of bridge and the materials used can also impact longevity. Implant-supported bridges are generally considered the most durable option. Regular dental checkups and maintaining good oral hygiene are crucial for maximizing the lifespan of your bridge.
How do I care for a dental bridge?
Caring for a dental bridge is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and using a bridge cleaner specifically designed to reach under the pontic are essential. Attending routine dental checkups allows for professional cleaning and ensures the long-term health of your bridge and surrounding teeth.
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes, dental bridges are designed to restore functionality alongside aesthetics. With proper care and getting accustomed to the bridge, you should be able to eat most foods without restriction. However, it’s important to avoid very hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge.
What happens if my dental bridge breaks?
If your bridge breaks or becomes loose, contact your dentist immediately. In some cases, minor repairs can be made. However, if the damage is more extensive, a replacement bridge may be necessary. Early intervention is crucial to prevent further complications and ensure the health of your teeth and jawbone.
