When you’d rather not alter neighboring teeth, an implant-supported bridge anchors to dental implants instead — a particularly stable, long-lasting option that also helps preserve the bone beneath the gap.
Your dentist will walk you through which approach fits your mouth, your timeline, and your budget during your consultation. Either way, the result is a seamless, secure smile you can rely on.
