Did you know? 69% of adults aged 35-44 have lost at least one permanent tooth, and dental bridges are a common solution. With proper care, bridges can last 5-15 years or more, restoring function and preventing teeth from shifting. A Dental Bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between two adjacent teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns anchored to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap (called abutment teeth). Dental bridges restore function, maintain facial shape, and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.
