A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) to the natural teeth or implants beside the gap. It restores chewing ability, aesthetics, and bite balance-without the need for removal like traditional dentures.

A bridge literally “bridges the gap” created by missing teeth. The supporting teeth (abutments) are capped with crowns, and the replacement tooth is attached between them. This creates a stable, natural-looking solution that stays fixed in your mouth.

You may be a good candidate if you have:
• One or more missing teeth
• Healthy supporting teeth or implants
• Difficulty chewing or speaking due to a gap
• Shifting teeth or bite changes
A consultation at Smylift Dental helps determine the ideal bridge type for you.

Smylift provides four advanced options:
• Traditional Bridge – supported by crowns on both sides
• Cantilever Bridge – supported by a single tooth
• Maryland Bridge – bonded using metal/porcelain wings
• Implant-Supported Bridge – anchored on dental implants
Your dentist will recommend the best option based on stability, aesthetics, and long-term durability.

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring complete comfort. You may experience slight sensitivity afterward, but it subsides quickly. Smylift’s gentle techniques make the experience smooth and worry-free.

Most bridges are completed in 2-3 visits over 5-10 days, depending on your case. Temporary bridges may be placed to protect your prepared teeth until the final bridge is ready.

With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental bridges typically last 10-15 years or more. Implant-supported options may last even longer due to superior stability.

Absolutely. Smylift Dental customizes each bridge using digital scans, premium ceramic or zirconia materials, and shade-matching technology. Your bridge is crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making it nearly indistinguishable.

A bridge restores your smile and prevents:
• Shifting of adjacent teeth
• Chewing and speech difficulties
• Gum issues and food trapping
• Facial structure changes due to missing teeth
It provides both functional and aesthetic advantages in a short treatment time.

Both options work well, but suitability depends on your oral condition.
• Bridges are faster, non-surgical, and ideal when adjacent teeth need crowns.
• Implants are long-lasting, preserve bone, and don’t require altering nearby teeth.
Smylift specialists help you choose what’s best for your smile and long-term health.

Care is simple:
• Brush twice daily
• Use floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean beneath the bridge
• Avoid very hard or sticky foods
• Schedule regular dental visits
Proper care ensures longevity and keeps the surrounding teeth healthy.

Yes. After the initial settling period, you can enjoy most foods comfortably. Your bridge is strong and designed to handle everyday chewing, though avoiding extremely hard objects helps maintain durability.

Initially, you might notice slight changes as your tongue adjusts to the new structure. However, this is temporary. Most patients find their speech improves once the gap is restored.

While traditional bridges do not stimulate the jawbone like implants, they do help maintain facial symmetry by supporting the bite. For maximum bone preservation, implant-supported bridges are recommended.

At Smylift, your bridge isn’t just a replacement-it’s a carefully crafted restoration. With digital smile design, precision 3D scanning, premium materials, and skilled prosthodontists, we ensure your bridge fits perfectly, looks natural, and feels comfortable from day one.
Because here, your confidence, comfort, and long-term oral health matter as much as completing your smile.
