Babies begin teething around 6 months of age, and once the first tooth arrives, they continue getting new teeth until around the age of 3.
Children start losing teeth around the age of 6. The next few years involve losing baby teeth and gaining permanent teeth. These permanent teeth are meant to last us a lifetime.
Unfortunately, people may lose one or more of their permanent teeth for many reasons. Accidents can cause tooth loss; tooth decay or other health issues can also result in tooth loss. When people lose teeth, their dentist may recommend a dental bridge to fill the gap.

What Is A Dental Bridge?
You have a gap between two remaining teeth when you lose a tooth. Dental bridges are dental appliances that cover that gap. Road bridges use supports on riverbanks to hold a deck over the gap. Dental bridges use the same concept. The bridge has two abutments on the ends. These abutments connect to the teeth in your mouth and hold an artificial tooth in place.
The artificial tooth fills the gap, supporting surrounding teeth and preventing serious health issues from missing teeth, such as headaches and facial degeneration.
How Many Teeth Can Be On A Bridge?
Most dental bridges hold three teeth or fewer. However, in some cases, it’s possible for a bridge to replace four or five missing teeth. It depends on the location of the missing teeth you need to replace and the number of natural teeth you still have.
How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?
A dental bridge’s lifespan depends on the type of bridge, how well it’s cared for, and the materials used. Temporary bridges have a lifespan of several months to a year. Long-term bridges may need to be replaced every five to 15 years.

Dental Bridge Vs. Implants
Visiting Absolute Dental’s North Las Vegas or a Las Vegas dental bridge team is one way to get expert dental care to address your missing teeth. Other tooth replacement options include dental implants. You may wonder about the benefits of dental bridges versus implants when deciding how to replace your missing tooth.
Is A Bridge Cheaper Than An Implant?
Bridges are more affordable than implants. Absolute Dental offers several financing options and specials on many dental health services to make quality dental care affordable. You can consider these financing options when investing in bridges or implants.
Which Lasts Longer?
Dental implants involve oral surgery to attach the implant to your jawbone. A dental crown fits over the implant, which is what people see in place of your missing tooth. Dental implants have a reasonable success rate and can last a lifetime. However, most patients must see their dentist every 15 to 20 years to replace the crown.
