A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.

There are several types of bridges.  In our practice we discuss with you the best options for your particular case. Porcelain fixed bridges are made of tooth colored materials and are not combined with any kind of metal.  They look very natural and generaly feel very comfortable to the patient.

Dental bridges are highly durable and can last many years, however they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.

Reasons for a fixed bridge:

• Fill space of missing teeth.
• Maintain facial shape.
• Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
• Restore chewing and speaking ability.
• Restore your smile.
• Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance.
