Like some bridges

Answer:

DENTAL

Hint:

Think of the type that helps maintain your smile rather than the kind you drive over.

Explanation:

The clue "Like some bridges" plays on the double meaning of "bridge." While it usually refers to a structure over water, it also describes a dental bridge—a fake tooth anchored between real ones. The word "dental" fits because it describes that type of bridge, making the answer a clever twist on the everyday term.
