Fixed 3-Unit Bridge
Missing Tooth Gap
When a tooth is extracted, the neighboring teeth immediately begin drifting into the empty space. Simultaneously, the opposing tooth in the other jaw super-erupts downward, destabilizing your entire dental bite and causing jaw joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
A 3-unit fixed dental bridge locks your arch in place, restores 90%+ natural chewing efficiency, and eliminates awkward spaces without requiring surgery.
Understand how fixed bridges compare to other tooth replacement methods.

A comfortable, efficient 2-appointment workflow from tooth preparation to permanent bonding.
We take digital RVG X-rays to verify that the anchor roots on either side of the gap are strong and healthy enough to support a bridge.
Under gentle local anesthesia, the two supporting teeth are carefully reshaped to create space for the custom bridge retainer crowns.
We capture a precise 3D digital model and immediately place an aesthetic temporary bridge to protect your teeth while the lab mills the final.
The 3-unit bridge is milled from solid German Zirconia or cast in cobalt-chromium with hand-layered ceramic for exact tooth aesthetics.
We test the fit, verify the floss contacts and chewing bite, and permanently cement the bridge with dual-cure dental resin cement.

Answers on replacing missing teeth with fixed 3-unit ceramic and zirconia bridges.
A 3-unit bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring artificial tooth caps (retainers) onto the two natural teeth adjacent to the gap, with a solid false tooth (pontic) suspended in the center.
A dental bridge requires shaping the two adjacent teeth and does not stimulate the jawbone beneath the gap. A dental implant replaces only the missing root independently without touching adjacent healthy teeth.
A 3-unit PFM bridge costs NPR 18,000–27,000 (NPR 6,000–9,000 per unit). A 3-unit metal-free Zirconia bridge costs NPR 36,000–55,000 (NPR 12,000–18,000 per unit).
Initially, a PFM bridge has a lower upfront cost than an implant. However, because an implant preserves adjacent teeth and lasts decades longer, implants often offer superior lifetime value.
You use a specialized Superfloss or bridge threader to slide floss under the pontic, sweeping away food particles and plaque to prevent decay on the supporting pillar teeth.
With good oral hygiene and diligent daily flossing under the pontic, fixed dental bridges have an average clinical lifespan of 10 to 15+ years.
