What are the benefits of dental bridges?

Dental bridges offer several important benefits. Custom dental bridges:

  • Restore the appearance of your smile
  • Improve chewing and speaking ability
  • Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place
  • Help maintain your facial structure
  • Provide a stable, long-lasting solution for missing teeth

Why would I need a dental bridge?

You may need a dental bridge if you’re missing one or more teeth. Gaps in your smile can make chewing and speaking difficult and may cause nearby teeth to shift out of alignment. Over time, this can affect your bite and lead to additional oral health issues. A bridge restores function and appearance, keeping your teeth in their proper place while giving you back the confidence to smile, eat, and speak comfortably.

How long do traditional dental bridges last?

Traditional dental bridges typically last 10–15 years with proper care, and many last even longer. Their longevity depends on your oral hygiene, diet, and regular dental checkups. Brushing twice daily, flossing carefully around the bridge, and visiting our office regularly will help extend its lifespan. With good habits, your bridge can provide reliable function and a natural-looking smile for well over a decade before needing repair or replacement.

How do I care for my dental bridge?

Caring for a dental bridge is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily, using a floss threader or water flosser to clean under the bridge. Regular dental cleanings and checkups are essential to monitor your bridge and surrounding teeth. Avoid chewing extremely hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge. With consistent care, your bridge should remain strong, functional, and natural-looking for years.
