A dental bridge can improve your smile if you are missing multiple teeth. Dental bridges can restore your confidence by covering the gaps left by missing teeth.
They can be supported by natural teeth, implants, or a combination of the two. Our team uses zirconia over the porcelain counterpart due to the superior strength and durability.
Dental bridges aid in regaining your bite’s functionality and help return the form of your mouth while improving your oral health.
What Is A Dental Bridge?
A bridge is a set of partial replacement teeth. Our team creates bridges from zirconia that is made to look and feel like natural teeth.
Most Dental Bridges connect to your natural teeth to hold it in place. They are designed to be permanent solutions and not be removed.
With proper care, dental bridges can last well over a decade.
A variety of dental bridges
In addition to conventional fixed bridges, there are also cantilever bridges, Maryland bridges, and implant supported bridges available. The best option for you will depend on your treatment plan and state of dental health. The best way to decide which bridge is ideal for you is to schedule an appointment and allow us to create your treatment plan best suitable for you.
Customary Fixed Bridges
The most typical type of dental bridges are traditional fixed bridges, which are made up of two or more replacement teeth held in place by two abutment teeth on either side.
Bridges with Cantilevers
While standard fixed bridges employ two abutment teeth, cantilever bridges only need one. When just one side of the missing tooth or teeth has a tooth, this form of bridge is frequently employed.
Bridges supported by implants
Dental bridges that are supported by dental implants rather than natural teeth are known as implant supported bridges. In cases where there are no healthy teeth left to support a regular bridge, this type of bridge is usually employed. The implants serve as anchors for the bridge and give the prosthetic tooth or teeth a solid, robust basis.
Maryland Bonded Bridges
The Maryland dental bridge also connects to the adjacent teeth. However, it has a metal framework that bonds to the inside of the natural teeth with resin, avoiding the need for crowns on the abutment teeth.
Step 1: Making Dental Bridges Ready
The abutment teeth will need to be reshaped to create a proper anchorage for the bridge to be cemented in place properly.
In order to develop a model for the bridge, we will then take a digital scan of your teeth. By doing this, we can ensure the bridge fits flawlessly and appears natural.
We will construct a temporary bridge to cover the exposed portions while we design and complete your permanent bridge. This process from start to finish is usually less than two weeks.
Step 2: Placement of Your Dental Bridge
We can start the bridge placement process after your final bridge is prepared. In most cases, this procedure entails cementing the prosthetic tooth in between the abutment teeth to the teeth. After cementation is completed, we’ll check to make sure the bridge fits perfectly and appears natural.
It is crucial to take proper care of your bridge after it has been installed. This entails routine dental examinations and cleanings, as well as frequent brushing and flossing. You should also refrain from consuming anything sticky or firm that could harm the bridge. Your dental bridge will survive for many years if you take good care of it.
