What is a Dental Bridge?

Aptly named, a dental bridge is a prosthetic device that “bridges” the gap left by one or more missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. A dental bridge consists of a false tooth (or teeth), known as a pontic, which is permanently held in place by attaching to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. This ensures stability and closely mimics the appearance and function of your natural teeth.

The process of obtaining a dental bridge involves preparing the adjacent teeth to serve as abutments or supports for crowns. The artificial teeth are carefully crafted to match in shape, colour and size to your existing natural teeth for a seamless appearance. Once in place, a dental bridge fills the void left by missing teeth and also contributes to maintaining proper dental alignment, supporting oral health and enhancing bite function. Beyond their functional benefits, dental bridges offer an aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth, allowing you to regain a complete and confident smile in addition to practical function. The Gateway Dental team looks forward to helping you achieve optimal oral health and an aesthetically pleasing smile with dental bridges.
