Our experienced dentists and our team are committed to helping you achieve optimal oral health by restoring your smile when you are missing a tooth.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed solution to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth or teeth attached to two or more crowns that are placed on the teeth adjacent to the missing one. A dental bridge quite literally bridges the gap left by a missing tooth. Dental bridges are a fixed restoration, meaning they cannot be removed.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are several types of dental bridges, including:
- Traditional bridges: These bridges are supported by crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth.
- Cantilever bridges: These bridges are supported by a crown on one side of the gap.
- Maryland bonded bridges: These bridges are supported by metal wings that are bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth.
Our dentists will recommend the best type of bridge for your specific situation based on factors such as the number of missing teeth, the location of the missing tooth, any parafunctional habits you may have, and the health of the teeth next to the missing tooth that is to be replaced.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restore function: Dental bridges allow you to chew and speak properly.
- Improve appearance: Bridges can fill in gaps in your smile, enhancing your appearance in a natural way
- Maintain oral health: Replacing missing teeth helps prevent the shifting of remaining teeth, as well as reducing excessive use and wear of remaining teeth
The Dental Bridge Process
The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves two appointments:
- Preparation: Your dentist will prepare the teeth that will support the bridge by removing a layer of enamel. A digital scan will be taken to send to the dental lab who will expertly create the bridge. A temporary bridge will be placed while the permanent bridge is being made.
- Bridge placement: The permanent bridge will be cemented onto the prepared teeth.
