Dental Bridge

Dental Bridge Treatment in Lahore

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or implants on either side. We offer durable, aesthetic, and custom-fitted bridges to help you regain your full oral function and confidence.

Dental bridges not only improve the appearance of your smile but also prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, which could lead to bite problems or jaw pain.

Dental Bridge Types We Offer

We provide different types of dental bridges to match your oral health condition, aesthetic preferences, and budget:

  • Traditional Bridges
    The most common type, made of porcelain fused to metal or ceramic. Anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth.

  • Cantilever Bridges
    Used when there’s only one adjacent supporting tooth.

  • Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridges
    Conservative option for replacing front teeth, using metal or porcelain wings bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth.

  • Implant-Supported Bridges
    Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth using dental implants for support instead of natural teeth.
