Tooth-supported or implant-supported?
A traditional bridge uses neighboring teeth for support. An implant-supported bridge relies on implants. We assess your bone, gum health and nearby teeth before comparing the choices.
Care beneath the bridge
The replacement tooth does not remove the need for daily cleaning. Ask for a demonstration of a floss threader, interdental brush or other tool suited to your bridge.

Dental Bridges FAQs
Bridge or implant?
Your bone, neighboring teeth, budget and preferences help guide the choice.
How do I clean under a bridge?
Use the cleaning tools your dental team recommends to reach beneath the replacement teeth.
Will nearby teeth need shaping?
A traditional bridge usually requires reshaping supporting teeth. Other designs differ.
Is a bridge removable?
A fixed bridge stays in place. It differs from a removable partial denture.
Can a bridge replace more than one tooth?
Sometimes. The length of the gap and strength of the available support determine what is appropriate.
How long will a bridge last?
There is no guaranteed lifespan. Oral health, bite forces and maintenance affect when repair or replacement may be needed.
