Dongdaemun SeoulOneTop Dental Clinic provides dental bridges on the 5th floor of 1050 Jegi-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, a 2-minute walk from Jegi-dong Station Exit 2 on Subway Line 1. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a fixed restoration anchored to neighboring teeth or implants.
Your dentist first checks the supporting teeth, gums and bite, then explains traditional, cantilever and implant-supported bridge options in English. Worn, loose or damaged bridges can also be evaluated and replaced.
Bridge options we offer
The right bridge depends on how many teeth are missing and the condition of the teeth or bone around the gap.
Traditional Dental Bridges
A traditional bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth by using neighboring teeth as support.
Cantilever Bridges
A cantilever bridge may be considered in selected cases where support is available on only one side of the missing tooth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
When multiple adjacent teeth are missing, implants may be used to support a bridge instead of relying entirely on neighboring natural teeth.
Bridge Replacement
Existing dental bridges may become worn, damaged, loose, or affected by changes in the supporting teeth.

Is a bridge or an implant better for one missing tooth?
Both replace a missing tooth with a fixed restoration. A traditional bridge uses the neighboring teeth for support, while an implant stands on its own without reshaping them. Your dentist compares both after checking your teeth and bone.
Do the teeth next to the gap need to be prepared?
For a traditional bridge, the supporting teeth are usually prepared so the bridge can fit over them. Implant-supported bridges rely on implants instead of neighboring natural teeth.
Can a bridge replace several missing teeth?
Yes. When several adjacent teeth are missing, a bridge supported by implants may be recommended instead of relying entirely on natural teeth. Read about dental implants.
Can you replace my old bridge?
Yes. Bridges that are worn, damaged or loose, or whose supporting teeth have changed, can be evaluated and replaced.
Do the dentists speak English?
Yes. Consultations and treatment explanations are given in English, with support in Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian and Mongolian.
