Dental Bridges

What are bridges?


A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges are made from durable materials like high noble metal or zirconia to ensure strength, longevity, and a natural appearance.


The Process:


  1. Consultation and Planning: We’ll assess your oral health and discuss the best options for replacing missing teeth.

  2. Tooth Preparation: The supporting teeth (abutments) are reshaped to accommodate crowns that will anchor the bridge. Any decay is removed, and the teeth are reinforced, if necessary, with a buildup material.

  3. Impressions: Digital or physical impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fitted bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the area.

  4. Placement: Once the permanent bridge is received from the lab, it is carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort, and securely bonded to the supporting teeth or implants.


Indications:


  • One or more missing teeth

  • Strong adjacent teeth or implants to support the bridge

  • Patients seeking a fixed alternative to partial dentures


Contraindications:


  • Insufficient support from adjacent teeth due to decay or damage

  • Active periodontal disease

  • Poor oral hygiene


The Problem Bridges Solve:


Dental bridges close gaps caused by missing teeth, restoring chewing ability, speech clarity, and confidence in your smile.


Pros:


  • Fixed solution, unlike removable dentures

  • Restores function and appearance

  •  Prevents shifting of adjacent teeth


Cons:


  • Requires alteration of healthy teeth

  • Higher initial cost compared to removable options

  • Risk of decay in supporting teeth if oral hygiene isn’t maintained
