What is a bridge?
Bridges are a restorative solution used to replace missing teeth. A bridge will be recommended to the patient when there is more than one missing tooth. They bridge gaps between one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth.
FAQs
How long your crown and bridge lasts depends on the effectiveness and regularity of your dental hygiene routine. As a general rule, they last between 7-15 years but longer periods are certainly possible with outstanding oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
