Closing the Gap so You Can Chew With Confidence
What a Bridge Does
A bridge fills the space left by one or more missing teeth using a replacement tooth anchored to the teeth on either side. It restores your bite, keeps nearby teeth from drifting, and brings back a complete smile.
Fixed and Natural-Looking
Unlike a removable partial, a bridge stays put. It is custom-shaped and shaded to blend with your other teeth, so it looks and functions like part of your natural smile.
Is a Bridge or an Implant Right for You?
A bridge is a great fit in many cases, while an implant may be better in others. Dr. Baird will walk you through both so you can choose the option that fits your mouth, timeline, and budget.
