A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic treatment planned to restore a missing tooth space. It is usually supported by neighboring teeth or, in suitable cases, by implants. The artificial tooth between the supports helps restore chewing, speech and smile appearance.

When preparing the treatment plan, the position of the missing tooth, strength of supporting teeth, gum health, bite relationship and aesthetic expectations are evaluated together. If supporting teeth have decay, fractures or gum problems, these areas should be treated before bridge construction.

Bridge treatment can be an important option for patients who do not want a removable prosthesis or are not suitable for implant treatment. Regular care, interdental cleaning and dental checkups are essential for long-term use.
