Can you eat normally after getting a dental bridge?

Yes, you can eat normally after getting a dental bridge. Because we place dental crowns on your two adjacent teeth to support your bridge, it is stable and secure, allowing you to eat nearly any food without worry.

And with proper care, your dental bridge will last for many years, giving you a smile you’ll be proud to show others.

Eating with a Dental Bridge

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth and restores your smile’s aesthetic beauty and functionality. We match your prosthetic teeth with your natural teeth so your bridge looks completely natural.

Regarding food, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • For the first week or two after you get your bridge, stick to mostly soft foods and then gradually introduce harder foods.
  • Always be careful with extremely crunchy or sticky foods, as they can damage or loosen your bridge. Avoid popcorn, ice, nuts, sticky candy, and crusty bread.
