What are dental bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants using crowns or other support structures.

How long do dental bridges last?
Dental bridges typically last 5–15 years with proper care, though their longevity depends on oral hygiene and the health of the supporting teeth or implants.

What can I expect during the dental bridge procedure?
The process usually takes two visits:

• Preparation: The dentist prepares the adjacent teeth by removing a small amount of enamel and takes impressions for a custom bridge.
• Placement: At the second visit, the permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted for comfort, and bonded in place.

Do dental bridges feel natural?
Yes, dental bridges are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. After a short adjustment period, most people find them comfortable and functional.
