What’s happening in this Animation?

To begin, the dentist carefully shapes the teeth on either side of the gap — this involves removing a small amount of enamel to make space for crowns. Once the teeth are prepared, an impression or digital scan is taken to capture the exact shape of your bite. This is sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom bridge is crafted to match your natural teeth in both fit and appearance.

At a follow-up visit, the dentist checks the bridge for accuracy and comfort before bonding it securely in place. The result restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Alternatives to a conventional bridge include a resin-retained bridge, a dental implant, or a removable denture — each with its own advantages depending on your oral health and treatment goals.
