Who can benefit from dental bridges?
If you’re seeking a non-surgical solution to missing teeth, bridges offer a minimally invasive solution to restore the functionality and appearance of your smile.
They are especially advantageous for patients who wish to improve their ability to chew and speak clearly. Plus, dental bridges help maintain the shape of your face and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place, which can disrupt your bite and lead to further dental issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental bridges last?
With proper care, dental bridges can last 5-15 years, or even longer. The lifespan depends on oral hygiene practices and the wear and tear the bridge is exposed to.
How do I care for my dental bridge?
Care for a dental bridge involves regular brushing and flossing, using a floss threader to clean under the bridge, and regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Good oral hygiene practices will help extend the life of your bridge.
Can dental bridges improve my speech?
Yes, replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge can improve speech problems that were caused by gaps in your bite, helping you speak more clearly and confidently.
Are dental bridges noticeable?
Dental bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth, making them virtually invisible.
How soon can I eat after getting a dental bridge?
You can eat as soon as the anesthesia wears off, but it’s recommended to start with soft foods and gradually return to your normal diet. Avoid hard and sticky foods that could damage the bridge.
Will I need a dental bridge if I only have one missing tooth?
Yes, a dental bridge is a viable option for replacing a single missing tooth and can prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, which could disrupt your bite and lead to other dental issues.
