What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a restoration that replaces one or more missing natural teeth. The bridge attaches permanently to the surrounding teeth, so it never needs to be removed and cleaned like a prosthetic appliance. Bridgework is specifically made for each patient, providing a natural and realistic appearance, and most fixed bridges last for many years before they ever need to be replaced.

Why Patients Choose a Fixed Dental Bridge
Natural, Realistic Appearance
Bridgework is made specifically for each patient and matched to your natural teeth in shape, size, and colour, so most people will never know it’s there.
Fixed in Place, Never Comes Out
Your bridge attaches permanently to the neighbouring teeth, so it never needs to be removed and cleaned like a removable appliance.
Built to Last for Years
Most fixed bridges last for many years before they ever need replacing, with nothing more than good daily brushing and flossing.
A Comfortable, Straightforward Procedure
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic and typically takes just two visits. For patients who feel anxious, we offer sedation dentistry services so treatment is always comfortable.
Restore Chewing and Speech
A gap changes how you bite, chew, and speak. A bridge restores full function so you can eat and talk with confidence again.
Protect Your Remaining Teeth
Filling the gap stops the neighbouring teeth from drifting out of position and keeps your bite properly aligned.
Who Is a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?
A fixed bridge needs to anchor to healthy teeth on both sides of the gap. In general, the larger the bridge, the more support it needs. If the neighbouring teeth aren’t strong enough to hold it securely, we may recommend an implant-supported bridge instead.
The best way to know is an exam with Dr. Beeson. We’ll assess your teeth and gums, walk through your options, and recommend the right solution, clearly and without pressure.
