Dental Bridges: What Are They and How Do They Work?
                     What Are Dental Bridges 
and How Do They Work?
Dental bridges are a common dental procedure that many people have 
done. But what are they, and how do dental bridges work? In this 
presentation, we'll explain everything you need to know about dental 
bridges.
What’s A Dental Bridge?
While a dental implant is rooted in your jaw bone, a dental bridge fills in the space 
with a missing tooth. A traditional one is attached to neighboring teeth via crowns. 
The crows are secured to the surrounding teeth and hold up the restorative teeth.
The basic steps for dental bridge treatment
Consultation: At this appointment, the dentist assesses your 
teeth and determines if you are a candidate for a dental bridge.
Impression or digital scan: During the first appointment, 
the dentist preps your teeth and takes impressions or 
digital scans that he will use to create a custom bridge.
Temporary bridge: While the dental bridge is 
being made, you may have a temporary bridge.
Permanent bridge installation: Once your restoration is 
complete, you return for installation. The dentist will attach 
the bridge, making any minor adjustments if necessary.
Leave with a complete smile! 
A well-maintained dental bridge may last up to a decade.
