What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between existing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, called pontics, that are anchored on either side by dental crowns or dental implants. The bridge restores functionality, improves chewing ability, and enhances the appearance of the smile. Dental bridges are custom-made to match the natural teeth in color, shape, and size, providing a seamless and natural-looking result. They are a reliable and durable solution for filling the space left by missing teeth, helping individuals regain their confidence and oral functionality.
How Does a Dental Bridge Work?
A dental bridge works by using artificial teeth, known as pontics, to bridge the gap left by one or more missing teeth. The bridge is anchored in place by dental crowns or dental implants on the adjacent teeth. The pontics fill the space of the missing teeth, restoring functionality, improving chewing ability, and enhancing the appearance of the smile. The bridge is custom-made to match the natural teeth in color, shape, and size, providing a seamless and natural-looking result. By “bridging” the gap, a dental bridge helps individuals regain their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
What are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges offer several benefits for individuals with missing teeth.
- Restores functionality for proper chewing and speaking
- Enhances the aesthetics of the smile, improving confidence
- Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting and maintains the natural alignment of the bite
- Distributes bite forces evenly, reducing strain on surrounding teeth
- Durable and long-lasting tooth replacement option
- Custom-made design seamlessly blends with natural teeth
- Improves oral health and overall appearance of the smile
Our Dental Bridge Procedure
The dental bridge procedure involves several steps. First, the adjacent teeth are prepared by reshaping them to make room for the dental crowns. Then, impressions of the teeth are taken to create a custom-made bridge. A temporary bridge is placed while the permanent bridge is being fabricated. During the final appointment, the temporary bridge is removed, and the permanent bridge is carefully fitted and bonded into place. The dentist ensures proper fit, bite alignment, and aesthetics. The dental bridge procedure helps replace missing teeth, restore functionality, and enhance the appearance of the smile.
