Bridges
If you want to fill the space left by a missing or removed tooth, a dental bridge may be the solution. There are several types of dental bridges to choose from:

- Traditional bridges, the most common type, literally bridge the gap of an empty tooth space. A false tooth is secured using crowns on the teeth on either side of the space.
- Cantilever bridges are used to replace a tooth that does not have supporting teeth on both sides of the affected area.
- Maryland bonded bridges include artificial teeth and gums, and are held in place by a metal frame.
The procedure requires three visits to our office. On the first visit, the teeth that will be supporting the bridge are shaped to make room for the device, and are fitted for crowns. On the following visit, the crowns are bonded to the supporting teeth, and molds are taken for the dental bridge itself. Finally, on the last visit, the dental bridge is affixed to the supporting crowns.
