Will I need to replace my dental bridge?

Ronald Rosenblatt, DDS (General and Cosmetic Dentistry) gives expert video advice on: Why would I want a fixed dental bridge?; Will a dental bridge change the way I speak?; What are the risks associated with a dental bridge? and more...

More than likely when you have a dental bridge placed, it's going to last in the area of 10-15 years, sometimes a little bit longer. If you are in your 30s, you will probably have this dental bridge replaced two or three times during your lifetime. We would hope they would be replaced seven or eight times during your lifetime, which means you've lived a long time, but it is not going to last forever. There are strains placed on the materials and the teeth that will cause the dental bridge to need to be replaced at some point, and you can't expect it to last forever.
