A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth or dental implants.
With proper care, a dental bridge can last between 5 to 15 years or even longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are crucial to extending its lifespan.
To care for your dental bridge:
A dental bridge allows you to eat most foods normally. However, it is advisable to avoid very hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge.
Alternatives include dental implants and partial dentures. Your dentist can help determine the best option for your specific needs.
