A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by literally “bridging the gap” where teeth are absent, using one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are anchored in place by the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. These supporting teeth, known as abutments, are typically fitted with crowns to hold the bridge securely.

Tooth-coloured bridges are crafted from high-quality materials such as porcelain or ceramic, chosen for their durability and ability to mimic the natural colour, shape, and translucency of real teeth. This allows the bridge to blend seamlessly with your existing smile while restoring full function — making it easier to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Bridges also play an important role in maintaining the structure and alignment of your mouth, preventing nearby teeth from shifting into the gap left by a missing tooth. With proper care, a dental bridge can last many years and significantly improve your oral health and quality of life.
