You Have One or Two Adjacent Missing Teeth

This type of bridge isn’t suited for larger gaps, as it relies on the strength of two healthy teeth on either side of the missing space. If you’re missing a tooth and the teeth surrounding the space are in good health, then consider a 3-unit dental bridge as a good solution. Longer spans of missing teeth are more securely addressed in other ways.

Your gums should also be in good condition, as healthy gum tissue is essential for the stability and longevity of the bridge. If you have dental issues like gum disease or weakened surrounding teeth, you may need to address these concerns first or reconsider a bridge altogether.

You Want a Permanent Solution

Unlike removable options like partial dentures, bridges offer a fixed replacement. Once in place, you won’t have to take it out for cleaning or worry about it slipping. Many people prefer this restorative treatment as it feels more like natural teeth and requires less
maintenance than removable options.
