A natural-looking way to fill a gap
A traditional bridge is three or more crowns fused together: one anchor on each side of the gap, and the replacement tooth (the pontic) in between. It's cemented in permanently — you can't take it out.
Bridges are a great option when the teeth on either side of the gap already need crowns. If those teeth are healthy, an implant might be a better choice — we'll talk through both.

How to clean under the pontic with floss threaders or a water flosser.
Common questions
Bridge vs. implant — which is better?+
Depends. If the teeth on either side are healthy, an implant preserves them. If they already need crowns, a bridge solves three problems at once.
How do I clean under it?+
A floss threader, super floss or a water flosser. It's an extra step but easy once you have the technique.
How long do they last?+
10–15 years on average. The pontic stays clean, but the anchor teeth can develop decay under the crowns if home care slips.
