A dental bridge, otherwise known as a fixed partial denture, is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth and is not removable . A prosthesis that is removable by the patient is called a removable partial denture.

A dental bridge allows you to fill the gap created by missing teeth by linking natural teeth together using crowns.  Each natural tooth acts as an anchor crown and has links known as pontic crowns that fill the gap created by missing teeth.  The bridge will restore your smile and normal functions of your mouth.  Bridges are made with porcelain which will ensure a natural look.

The procedure for building your new bridge is very simple.  On your first visit, we will shape the natural teeth to accommodate the bridge.  Then we will take an impression to send to our lab so that they can produce your new bridge.  While the lab is creating the bridge, you will wear a temporary bridge.  On your second visit, we will remove your temporary and place your permanent bridge.
