Dental Bridge
Restore Your Smile and Confidence

What are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth or dental implants. It literally "bridges" the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

Types of Bridges

• Traditional Bridges: The most common type, these consist of one or more pontics (artificial teeth) held in place by dental crowns cemented onto the adjacent teeth.
• Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: These are supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth, offering superior stability.

Benefits of Bridges

• Restore your smile and confidence
• Improve ability to speak and chew properly
• Maintain the shape of your face
• Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
• Distribute the forces in your bite properly
• Long-lasting solution with proper care

The Dental Bridge Process

1. Consultation and Planning: We assess your oral health and discuss the best bridge option for you.
2. Preparation: The adjacent teeth are prepared to accommodate the bridge.
3. Impressions: We take impressions of your teeth to create your custom bridge.
4. Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge is placed while your permanent one is being made.
5. Fitting: Once ready, we fit, adjust, and cement your permanent bridge in place.
6. Follow-up: We ensure proper fit and comfort in subsequent visits.

Caring for Your Bridge

With proper care, your dental bridge can last 5 to 15 years or even longer. Here are some tips:

• Brush twice a day and floss daily, paying special attention to the bridge area
• Use a floss threader or interdental brush to clean under the bridge
• Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge
• Attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings
