A dental bridge is a popular dental restoration that can give you the confidence to smile in pictures and the ability to eat all your favorite foods. But when you crack or break your bridge, you might wonder if it can be replaced.
The good news is that bridges can be repaired or replaced, and we will guide you through the process, restoring your oral health and your smile.
Repairing or Replacing Your Dental Bridge: What You Need to Know
If you damage or break your dental bridge, we’ll have you come in to our office so we can assess the situation.
The best solution will depend on these factors:
- The type of damage — For small chips or cracks, we may use dental bonding to repair them. For more severe damage, we may need to replace your bridge.
- The age of the bridge — Dental bridges can last for 15 years or more, so if you’ve had your bridge for a long time, it might be best to replace it.
- The condition of adjacent teeth — Your natural teeth on either side of the bridge are needed for support, so if those teeth are damaged, you may need to explore other tooth replacement options.
