Dental Bridges in Dublin, Grove City & Gahanna, Ohio

Bridge the Gap in Your Smile

A dental bridge is a prosthetic that replaces a missing tooth or teeth by literally bridging the gap. Bridges are typically supported by dental crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth).

Materials

Bridges can be constructed from gold, alloy, porcelain, or combinations thereof. Your dentist will recommend the best material based on the location of the missing tooth and your aesthetic preferences.

The Procedure

Placement typically requires at least two appointments:

First Visit — Preparation: The dentist prepares neighboring teeth to create space for crowns, takes impressions for the dental lab, and places a temporary bridge.

Second Visit — Placement: The permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place. Additional follow-up visits may be needed for fine-tuning.
