A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile. This treatment is ideal for individuals who have lost teeth due to decay, injury, or other dental issues. Dental bridges not only help maintain the shape of your face but also prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position which can lead to further dental complications.
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. These anchoring teeth, known as abutment teeth, provide stability and support for the bridge. The pontics are custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking restoration.

Dental Bridges: A Reliable Solution for Replacing Missing Teeth
The Advantages of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer several key benefits, making them a popular choice for tooth replacement:
Restored Functionality: Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, which can be impaired by missing teeth. This improvement in function can significantly enhance your quality of life.
Aesthetic Enhancement: By filling the gap left by missing teeth, a dental bridge improves the appearance of your smile. The bridge is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth, providing a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result.
Preventing Tooth Movement: When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can move out of position, leading to misalignment and bite issues. A dental bridge prevents this by keeping the remaining teeth in their correct position.
Maintaining Facial Structure: Missing teeth can cause the facial structure to sag or appear sunken over time. A dental bridge helps maintain the natural shape of your face by supporting the surrounding tissue and teeth.
Long-Lasting Durability: Made from high-quality materials, dental bridges are designed to withstand the forces of chewing and biting. With proper care, they can last many years, providing a durable and reliable solution for tooth replacement.
The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge
The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves a few key steps:
Consultation and Examination: The dentist will assess your oral health and determine whether a dental bridge is the right solution for you. X-rays or impressions may be taken to plan the treatment.
Tooth Preparation: The abutment teeth (the teeth adjacent to the gap) are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly in your mouth. These impressions are sent to our dental laboratory where your bridge will be crafted.
Temporary Bridge: While your permanent bridge is being made, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect the prepared teeth and maintain the appearance of your smile.
Fitting the Permanent Bridge: Once the permanent bridge is ready, it is carefully fitted and adjusted to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The bridge is then cemented into place, restoring your smile.
