Missing Teeth Solutions

Bridges

A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face and alleviate stress on your bite.

A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, bridging the gap left by one or more missing teeth. The bridge is bonded onto the surrounding teeth for support. Most commonly, bridges are made from porcelain, but can be made from a combination of materials as well.

The success of any bridge depends on its foundation – the other teeth, gums and bone to which it is attached. Therefore, it’s very important to keep your existing teeth and gums healthy by keeping your regular cleanings every 6 months.

We believe in giving our patients the best care possible, so we offer a five-year warranty on all of our bridges. If your bridge breaks, fits incorrectly or develops decay, our office will refund the cost of the bridge towards a replacement within five years of service. This does not include situations like accidents (i.e. auto wreck) that would also break a regular tooth. All you need to do to keep this warranty active is to maintain your recommended routine cleaning appointments (plus or minus 30 days of your 3, 4, or 6-month cleaning appointment intervals).
