If you’re missing teeth, dental bridges could be the perfect solution. They attach artificial teeth to natural, adjacent teeth. This can help make it easier to eat and speak, while also protecting your oral health.
Dental Bridge Options
There are two major types of bridges:
- Fixed bridges are permanently attached, which means they are supported by the adjacent teeth via crowns or bonding.
- Removable bridges are attached to the teeth with either metal clasps or precision attachments.
While removable bridges can be removed and cleaned, we often recommend fixed bridges, since they provide more stability.

REQUEST APPOINTMENTHow Are Fixed Bridges Attached?
Before we can place the bridge, we first have to remove some enamel and dentin from the adjacent teeth. We’ll then need to take impressions and send them to the lab in order to ensure the bridge matches the opposing teeth and enables the correct bite.
Bridges can be made of:
- Gold alloys
- Non-Precious alloys
- Porcelain
Sometimes a combination of these materials is used. Once the bridge is made, we typically attach crowns to the adjacent natural teeth. After that, we can apply the bridge.
It’s important to maintain good home oral care habits once you get your bridge. This ensures that the surrounding teeth stay clean, which means they’ll be able to support your bridge for years to come.

“I’m very glad I discovered Dr. Ferber. I came to him because I had a multitude of dental problems. The teeth were just a disaster, and I was totally embarrassed to smile. I kept replacing teeth and going in for crowns and root canals. Finally, I decided I wanted to go for a full-mouth implant. I wish I had done this many years ago. The results are just exemplary. If you’re suffering like I was for many, many years, do not hesitate.”
“People ask me all the time where I got my new smile done and I tell them Dr. Ferber. Before I got the work done, I didn’t feel very confident. I didn’t want anyone to see me smile. And now, I love to smile, and I get so many compliments on my smile. It was an easy, painless experience. The staff was great, and the price was right.”
“Dr. Ferber really knows his stuff. Since I had my teeth really done over, I have my smile back. And I have my giggle back! I would say that anybody questioning what they should do, they should come here. The whole team treats you like you’re family. They’re warm and they care.”
