Dental Bridges

What are dental bridges?

Dental bridges essentially bridge a gap in your mouth. Your missing tooth is replaced with a false tooth attached to a neighbouring tooth / implant. This is different from implants in two ways as bridges are a non surgical procedure and the neighbouring tooth / teeth are utilised. Implants do not affect neighbouring teeth; they are a single entity.

Bridges are anchored to the neighbouring teeth or dental implants restoring the functionality and appearance of your smile. There are many different types of bridges, the most common one is two crowns joined together to replace a missing tooth, often they are made from porcelain and can sometimes have a metal interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental Bridges FAQs
1. What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by dental crowns on adjacent teeth or dental implants.
2. What are the types of dental bridges?
There are four main types of dental bridges: traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, Maryland bridges (resin-bonded bridges), and implant-supported bridges.
3. How do dental bridges work?
Dental bridges fill the gap created by missing teeth. The bridge is anchored to the surrounding natural teeth or implants, and the artificial teeth fill the space, restoring function and appearance.
4. Who is a good candidate for a dental bridge?
Good candidates for a dental bridge have one or more missing teeth, healthy surrounding teeth or implants to support the bridge, and good overall oral health.
5. How long does it take to get a dental bridge?
The process typically requires two dental visits. The first visit involves preparing the abutment teeth and taking impressions. The second visit, usually a few weeks later, involves fitting and cementing the bridge.
6. How long do dental bridges last?
With proper care, dental bridges can last between 5 to 15 years, and sometimes longer. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can extend the lifespan of your bridge.
7. How do I care for my dental bridge?
Care for your dental bridge by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using an interdental brush or floss threader to clean under the bridge. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also important.
8. Will a dental bridge affect my speech or eating?
A dental bridge can improve your ability to speak and eat by restoring the function of missing teeth. It may take a short adjustment period to get used to the bridge.
9. What are the benefits of a dental bridge?
Dental bridges restore your smile, improve chewing and speaking, maintain the shape of your face, prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position, and distribute bite forces evenly.
10. Are there any alternatives to dental bridges?
Alternatives to dental bridges include dental implants and removable partial dentures. Your dentist can help determine the best option based on your specific needs.
