What Is a Dental Bridge?
Watch this video by Dr. Bruce Fine, an experienced New Jersey implant dentist, as he explains dental bridges and how they are used to replace entire rows of missing teeth.
A dental bridge is an impressive dental restoration option. Essentially, it consists of multiple crowns that are joined together as a single unit. When you have a missing tooth and are eligible for a dental implant, we create this extensive piece that not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also functions effectively within your mouth. This bridge is securely cemented in place and can last for many decades. To provide a bit more context, these crowns resemble natural teeth, appearing as though they are a single piece. Once in place, they are firmly cemented, ensuring stability and durability. With proper oral care, including regular brushing, flossing, and the use of a waterpik, coupled with routine dental cleanings, a dental bridge can last for decades, and in some cases, even a lifetime.
