A Cost-Effective Tooth Replacement Option
Dental bridges fill the gaps that remain following tooth loss. A bridge also helps prevent your surrounding teeth from shifting and causing further problems.
A fixed-option for tooth replacement
Your dental bridge is typically held in place by two dental crowns. This creates a solid, supportive new tooth structure.
Dental bridges can last 5 to 15 years and even longer. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, it is not unusual for the life span of a fixed bridge to be over 10 years.
Persistent tooth pain can sometimes indicate an infection inside the tooth. Learn how root canal treatment in Exton, PA can treat infection while helping preserve your natural tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a dental bridge?
A bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap.
Q2: How long does a dental bridge last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, a well-made bridge typically lasts 10–15 years, and sometimes longer.
Q3: Does getting a bridge hurt?
The teeth being used as anchors are typically numbed before preparation, so the procedure itself is generally not painful. Some sensitivity afterward is normal for a few days.
Q4: Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes — bridges are designed to restore normal chewing function, though your dentist may suggest avoiding very hard or sticky foods to protect it.
Q5: How do I know if a bridge or an implant is right for me?
This depends on your bone health, the number of missing teeth, and your goals. Schedule an evaluation with Chester Springs Dental at (610) 524-9530 to discuss your options.
