A dental bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth. The teeth on either side of the gap are shaped to take crowns, and the new tooth is joined between those two crowns, so the whole bridge is one fixed piece that you do not take out. A bridge for one missing tooth has three units: two crowns and the tooth in the middle. It needs no surgery and is finished in about two to three weeks, which makes it the quickest fixed way to replace a tooth.

The trade-off is the neighbouring teeth. Shaping them for crowns is permanent, so a bridge makes the most sense when those teeth already have large fillings or crowns. If they are healthy and untouched, an implant usually serves them better, and we will show you both on your scan. More on that choice in dental bridge or implant: how to choose.

At The Smile Super Speciality Dental Clinic, in Kondapur, Hyderabad and in Maharani Peta, Visakhapatnam, you get a 3D scan, the options for your gap side by side, and a written plan with the price before anything is done.
