Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth.

This treatment not only helps restore the aesthetics of your smile but also prevents functional and dental health problems that can arise when there are missing teeth.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a structure that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth.

It consists of pontics (artificial teeth) and is anchored by crowns placed on the natural teeth or implants adjacent to the empty space.

Bridges can be supported by natural teeth, implants, or a combination of both, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Advantages of Dental Bridges

• Restoration of Dental Function:

  Bridges enable the recovery of dental functionality, improving the ability to chew and speak properly.

  By filling the gaps, they prevent the adjacent teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems and other dental disorders.

• Prevention of Tooth Shifts:

  When a tooth is missing, the neighboring teeth tend to shift into the empty space.

  This movement can cause a misaligned bite, gum problems, and difficulties in dental cleaning, increasing the risk of decay and periodontal diseases.

• Improved Aesthetics:

  Dental bridges are designed to mimic the appearance of your natural teeth, significantly enhancing your smile and confidence.

  With materials like porcelain and zirconium, bridges provide a natural and lasting aesthetic result.

• Material Versatility:

  Bridges can be made from materials such as porcelain fused to zirconium or noble metal, providing options that cater to both aesthetic and functional needs of each patient.

Care and Maintenance of Dental Bridges

Just like individual crowns, dental bridges require the same construction process and care.

It is crucial to maintain good oral hygiene and regularly visit the dentist to ensure the longevity and good condition of the bridges.

These preventive cares are essential for maintaining the bridge structure and the health of the adjacent teeth and gums.
