Clove Dental’s expert fixed solution that helps your smile feel complete, natural, and confident again.
When a Tooth Is Missing, It Shows
A missing tooth can affect how you smile, chew, and speak, and over time may change the balance of your face. When a gap is left open, nearby teeth can begin to shift, making eating feel uneven and your smile feel less stable.
Dental bridges help replace missing teeth by filling the gap and reconnecting your smile. They are securely supported by neighbouring teeth or implants, allowing you to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and feel confident about how your smile looks again.
By closing the space, bridges also help keep nearby teeth from shifting and support the natural shape of your face. Different types of bridges are chosen based on your needs, each designed to look natural, feel comfortable, and last well over time.
Dental bridges are ideal for patients who:
Your dentist will evaluate gum health, bone support, bite alignment, and the size of the teeth gap through digital X-rays and clinical checks to plan the best bridge type for you.

The most common type. Uses crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap to hold the artificial tooth in place. Best for: A single missing tooth or two teeth missing side-by-side.
Supported by only one adjacent tooth instead of two. Best for: Cases where only one healthy tooth is present next to the teeth gap.
Uses a metal or ceramic framework bonded behind the supporting teeth instead of full crowns. Best for: Replacing front teeth where minimal drilling is preferred.
Artificial teeth are anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth. Provides the highest stability, strength, and long-term function. Best for: Large gaps (3+ missing teeth) or when adjacent teeth are weak.

Your dentist examines the teeth gap, supporting teeth, gum health, and bite alignment using clinical checks and X-rays. Most bridge treatments require 2–3 appointments from start to finish.
The supporting teeth are gently reshaped to hold the bridge securely. Local anesthesia is used to ensure the procedure is comfortable and pain-free.
Digital scans or impressions capture precise measurements for a bridge that fits naturally. A temporary bridge is placed to protect your reshaped teeth while the final one is being made.
A trial version of the bridge is checked for fit, bite accuracy, and appearance. Your dentist makes any adjustments needed for a perfect, natural feel.
The final bridge is securely bonded, polished, and refined for a seamless bite. You can resume normal speaking and chewing in 24–48 hours.

Common questions about Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by placing crowns on the teeth next to the gap, with an artificial tooth attached in between to “bridge” the empty space. Dental bridges help restore chewing ability, speech, smile appearance, and also prevent nearby teeth from shifting into the gap.
There are different types of dental bridges depending on the patient’s dental condition and the location of the missing tooth. Traditional bridges are the most common and use crowns on both sides of the gap for support. Cantilever bridges use support from only one adjacent tooth, while Maryland bridges use a more conservative bonding technique and are often used for front teeth. Implant-supported bridges are attached to dental implants instead of natural teeth and offer greater long-term stability.
A conventional dental bridge takes two appointments over 1–2 weeks. At the first visit, adjacent teeth are prepared, an impression is taken, and if required a temporary bridge is placed. At the second visit, once the permanent bridge is ready from the laboratory, it is fitted, adjusted for precise bite, and cemented. Clove Dental’s in-network labs ensure fast, high-quality fabrication.
Bridge preparation is performed under local anaesthesia and is completely painless. Some temperature sensitivity after crown preparation on the abutment teeth is normal for a few days. Clove Dental’s dentists carefully check bite balance with articulating paper before final cementation to ensure no post-fitting discomfort from a high bite.
Dental implants are clinically superior in most cases: they require no alteration of adjacent teeth, replace the missing root (preventing bone loss), last longer, and perform more like natural teeth. Bridges are non-surgical and faster. The right choice depends on bone health, adjacent tooth condition, budget, and timeline. Clove Dental provides unbiased, patient-centred guidance for each individual case.
A well-maintained dental bridge typically lasts 10–15 years. Zirconia bridges can last longer. The health of the abutment teeth is the biggest factor, if they develop decay or gum disease, the bridge fails prematurely. Daily cleaning under the pontic with a floss threader and regular 6-monthly check-ups at Clove Dental are critical for maximising bridge longevity.
Real smiles, real stories. Here's what our patients love about their CLOVE Dental experience!
My dental bridge treatment experience with clove and Dr. TEJASWI is very good
I had visited Clove Dental for missing tooth replacement. I was received by Dr. Keerthika. I got implant placement done by Dr. Jana. The treatment, education and explanation were excellent. I would recommend Dr. Jana for implant treatment.The sister was very caring.
I had dental bridge treatment with RCT in a tooth, which was done very professionally. Taken care by Dr. Paras and Dr. Prashant. The Clinic environment is great.
Best root canal doctor. Dr sowjanya was very patient and informed me about every step before proceeding. Totally felt at home. Went with a lot of pain and came back completely relieved . The best thing about clove is that experts of the particular specialities are called to do the treatment instead of one doctor doing all the treatments. They have specialist for braces treatment, child specialist , specialist for missing tooth replacement etc etc. And the best thing is they dont make us wait too long to arrange an appointment with the specialist. Great work team . Must definitely mention that the doctors are extremely warm and friendly.
