What Are Bridges & Dentures?

Dental bridges and dentures are reliable solutions for replacing missing teeth.

Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, these treatments can restore your appearance and bite, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and support facial structure.

Dental Bridges

A bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth or implants. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) fused between crowns on either side.

Ideal for patients with healthy teeth next to the gap, bridges provide a natural-looking, stable replacement that doesn’t require removal.

Dentures

Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace multiple or all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They can be:

  • Partial dentures – for patients missing several teeth
  • Full dentures – for patients missing all teeth in an arch
  • Implant-supported dentures – for added stability and comfort

Modern dentures are lightweight, natural in appearance, and custom-designed for a secure, comfortable fit.
