What Is a Fixed Partial Denture?
A fixed partial denture — more commonly called a dental bridge — is a prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth using crowns cemented to the adjacent (abutment) teeth, with a false tooth (or teeth) suspended between them. Unlike removable dentures, a bridge is permanently fixed in place, so it looks, feels, and functions much like your natural teeth.
Why Replace a Missing Tooth with a Bridge?
A gap from a missing tooth doesn’t just affect your smile — neighboring teeth can gradually drift into the empty space, your bite can shift out of alignment, and chewing on that side becomes harder. A fixed bridge closes the gap, restores your bite, and stops the surrounding teeth from shifting, all without the surgery an implant requires.
The Bridge Procedure at Dr. Emerico's
Treatment begins with preparing the two teeth on either side of the gap to support crowns, followed by a precise impression used to custom-craft your bridge to match your natural tooth shade and shape. Once ready, the bridge is cemented securely in place. With proper care — regular brushing, flossing under the bridge with a floss threader, and routine check-ups — a well-made bridge can last well over a decade.
Why Choose Dr. Emerico's for Bridges in Margao
We’ll help you weigh a bridge against alternatives like a dental implant based on your specific situation, budget, and the condition of your adjacent teeth — with an honest recommendation, not just the option that suits us.
Caring for Your Bridge
A bridge doesn’t decay, but the natural teeth supporting it can — so keeping those abutment teeth healthy through daily cleaning and regular check-ups is essential to your bridge lasting as long as possible. We’ll check the fit and condition of your bridge at every routine visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental bridge last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a fixed bridge typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer before it may need replacement.
Is getting a bridge painful?
The teeth on either side of the gap are numbed before being prepared for crowns, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Mild sensitivity afterward is normal and temporary.
How is a bridge different from a dental implant?
A bridge is anchored to your adjacent natural teeth, while an implant is anchored directly into your jawbone and doesn’t require altering neighboring teeth — we’ll help you decide which suits your case.
How do I clean a dental bridge?
You’ll brush it like normal teeth and use a floss threader or interdental brush to clean underneath the false tooth, where regular floss can’t reach.
Can a bridge replace more than one missing tooth?
Yes, a bridge can replace one or several adjacent missing teeth, as long as there are healthy, stable teeth on both sides of the gap to support it.
