How long does a dental bridge last?

A dental bridge in Warners Bay is a popular tooth replacement option because the bridge teeth are fixed to healthy natural teeth for stability. A dental bridge typically lasts for up to a decade or longer. 

Your dental bridge is a customised prosthetic—colour and fit—made of one or two replacement teeth situated between tooth crowns. When your dentist caps the tooth on either side of your smile gap, the replacement teeth will complete your smile.
