How long do dental bridges last?

Dental bridges can last between 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care, including good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups. The longevity of your bridge will depend on factors such as your bite, diet, and maintenance routine.

Are dental bridges removable?

Traditional dental bridges are fixed in place and cannot be removed. They are bonded securely to your adjacent teeth or implants. However, there are removable bridge options known as partial dentures, which function differently.

How long will results from cosmetic or restorative procedures last?

The answer depends on what you have done. Teeth whitening, for instance, will need to be done again when results start to fade. Dental implants, on the other hand, can last indefinitely. The longevity of dental bridges, inlays, overlays, veneers, and crowns will vary based on your diet, oral hygiene habits, and similar factors.
