Bridges
About Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using artificial teeth supported by neighbouring teeth. Unlike a partial denture, a bridge is fixed in place.
Replacing a missing tooth can help restore chewing, improve appearance, and support your bite.

- Preparing the supporting teeth: The area is frozen and the teeth on either side of the gap are shaped to hold the bridge.
- Creating the bridge: Impressions and measurement are taken and a temporary bridge may be placed while the bridge is being finished.
- Placing the bridge: Once finished, the permanent bridge is checked for fit and comfort, then secured in place.
