Dental Bridges: The Basics

If you are missing a tooth, you should strongly consider having it replaced. Dr. Suzanne Haeri, DDS offers plenty of options for patients who are missing teeth, but those who desire a non-invasive treatment option should contemplate dental bridges. Bridges are commonly used to cover a space if you’re missing one or more teeth because they literally bridge the gap that’s been created.


Dental bridges have the ability to restore your smile, restore the ability to properly chew and speak, help maintain the shape of your face and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position. The bridge itself is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and durable. Getting a bridge will require at least two visits, but often more, depending on the individual case.
