Before The Bridge: Understanding What You Are Actually Deciding
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring a false tooth to your natural teeth on either side. It is fixed in place. You do not remove it. It becomes part of your mouth.
That sounds simple, but the decision involves a few layers that most clinics rush past:
- Are the neighbouring teeth strong enough to support a bridge, or would an implant serve you better long term?
- Which material will match your existing teeth and hold up to your bite pressure?
- How much tooth structure needs to be removed from the anchors, and is that trade-off worth it in your case?
At Toothworks Dental, we go through all of this at your first appointment. No assumptions, no pushing you toward the most expensive option.
