In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Bridges literally bridge the gap created by missing teeth. A traditional bridge consists of pontics (false teeth) held in place by dental crowns cemented onto the teeth on either side of the gap. They restore your ability to chew and speak properly, maintain facial shape, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting. Bridges typically last 5-15 years with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
