A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a custom artificial tooth to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap — restoring your bite, protecting your remaining teeth from shifting, and giving you back a complete smile.
Left unaddressed, even a single missing tooth can throw off your bite, cause neighboring teeth to shift out of place, and change the shape of your smile over time. That added wear increases the risk of decay and bone loss, and untreated gum problems in the area can eventually affect your health beyond your mouth.
We reshape the teeth on either side of the gap to support crowns, which are then permanently connected to the replacement tooth in between — anchoring the whole bridge securely in place so it looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
