How long does a dental bridge last?

A well-maintained porcelain or zirconia bridge typically lasts 10–20 years. PFM bridges last 10–15 years. Good oral hygiene, especially cleaning under the pontic with floss threaders, is essential for longevity.

Is a bridge or an implant better for a missing tooth?

Implants are generally the preferred long-term solution because they preserve bone, don't damage adjacent teeth, and last longer. However, bridges are faster, less expensive, and don't require surgery. If the adjacent teeth already need crowns, a bridge may be the more practical choice.

Do I need to do anything special to clean a bridge?

Yes. You'll need to use floss threaders or a water flosser to clean under the pontic (the artificial tooth). This prevents plaque buildup and gum disease under the bridge.

Can I get a bridge if I'm missing multiple teeth?

Yes, for consecutive missing teeth. Bridges can span 2–4 missing teeth with the appropriate number of supporting crowns. For non-consecutive missing teeth or large spans, implants or partial dentures may be more appropriate.

Fixed Tooth Replacement Without Implants

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (called a pontic) to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. The adjacent teeth are prepared as crowns, and the bridge — which consists of the two crowns and the pontic — is permanently cemented in place.

Bridges are an excellent alternative to implants for patients who are not candidates for surgery, prefer a faster solution, or want to avoid the 3–6 month healing period required for implants. A traditional bridge can be completed in a single week-long trip to Los Algodones.

A 3-unit porcelain bridge (the most common type) costs $3,600–$5,400 in the United States. At Molar City MX, the same bridge using Ivoclar e.max or zirconia is available for $750–$1,350 — a savings of approximately 75%.
