DENTAL BRIDGE

If you have missing teeth, a dental bridge can help restore the appearance and function of your teeth.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is used to simply fill the void created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges are one-piece dentures that consist of two crowns above the teeth on either side of the space. This treatment can successfully replace between one and three consecutive teeth. In order for dental restoration work to achieve the best results, patients must be in fairly good health, including oral health. If the patient has gum disease, this condition will be treated first to control the infection or inflammation.
A dental bridge is a great option for restoring the appearance of a smile after tooth loss. In addition, a bridge is necessary to maintain the structure and alignment of the teeth. By filling the space, it prevents the surrounding teeth from moving. Once the artificial tooth is in place, the bridge also supports chewing and biting in a way that evenly distributes the force of energy over the entire dental arch.

Dental Bridge Process

Placing a dental bridge requires two appointments. During the first appointment, we prepare the abutment teeth for their crowns and take measurements and photos for your bridge. To prepare the teeth, the dentist shaves part of the healthy teeth on all sides and above. This makes room for the crowns to rest on the teeth, covering them up to the gum line. Then, precise impressions are taken and sent to the dental laboratory for the creation of your custom bridge. This process takes two weeks, so in the meantime you are wearing a temporary bridge over your prepared teeth.

The lifespan of your dental bridge depends on the health of the abutment teeth and your jawbone. If you are diligent about your dental hygiene and dental cleanings and exams, your bridge should last for several years.

Why choose a dental bridge?

When you have one or more missing teeth, it can affect you in a number of ways. A dental bridge can respond to these changes, including :

  • Restore your smile
  • Restore the ability to chew well
  • Restore your speech and pronunciation
  • Maintain your face shape
  • Readjust your bite to distribute the force evenly when you chew
  • Prevent your remaining teeth from coming out of the right position

What are the alternatives to dental bridges?

There are several ways to replace missing teeth. Your dentist will help you decide which option is best for you. It is important to explore all options and discuss them with your dentist. The alternatives include:

  • Full or partial dentures
  • Dental implants - A crown placed on a titanium implant that is attached directly to your jawbone

How much do dental bridges cost?

Dental bridges cost more than dentures, but are generally more comfortable. Bridges are also an investment in your oral health, as replacing missing teeth in this way can help maintain the health of your remaining natural teeth.

The exact costs vary depending on where the bridge is placed and the materials it is made of. Your dentist will discuss your options with you and give you an exact price before starting treatment.
