A dental bridge is best for someone who has overall good oral health as a bridge uses the two adjacent teeth as anchors to hold the bridge. Dr. Kim will do a thorough exam to ensure that a dental bridge would suit your needs and provide good function.
dental bridge
bridge the gap between missing teeth
If you’re looking to replace one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge may be a practical solution for you. A dental bridge is a commonly used fixed alternative to dental implants. This method replaces missing teeth using at least two crowns (or “caps”) that are secured to existing, healthy teeth. They’re designed to seamlessly fit your natural smile while being durable and long-lasting.

FAQ
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for a dental bridge?
How many missing teeth can a bridge replace?
Dental bridges can typically replace one to four teeth. Everyone’s case is different and the success of your bridge is dependent on surrounding teeth and overall oral health.
Why would I get a dental bridge instead of an implant?
There are a few reasons why someone might choose a bridge over an implant. The main reason being that dental implants require surgery. Some may not want to wait months to heal. Others may have a complex medical history that limits them from surgical treatment, which makes dental bridges a safer option for replacing a missing tooth.
How long does a dental bridge last?
Dental bridges can typically last between 5 to 10 years. Our goal when crafting your bridge is for it to last as long as possible. At home care is a big factor in how well your bridge will uphold overtime.
How do I care for my dental bridge?
It’s important to treat your dental bridge as you would your natural teeth. Ensure you are brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Cleaning thoroughly around the bridge, close to the gumline will especially keep it in good shape. If you do not keep up with this daily routine, it can cause the restoration to fail, due to bacteria gathering in the site.
