Dental Bridges

TREATMENTS

Replace missing teeth with strong, durable bridges for a seamless smile.

About the treatment

A dental bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. It restores function, maintains bite alignment, and prevents teeth from shifting.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge consists of a false tooth (pontic) supported by crowns or implants on either side. It is an excellent solution for filling gaps left by missing teeth.

Bridges help:

  • Restore chewing ability and clear speech.
  • Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
  • Improve aesthetics and confidence.

Types of Dental Bridges

  • Composition: False teeth supported by crowns on adjacent teeth.
  • Pros: Durable and natural-looking.
  • Cons: Requires reshaping of supporting teeth.
  • Composition: Anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth.
  • Pros: Prevents bone loss and preserves surrounding teeth.
  • Cons: Requires implant surgery and healing time.

  • Composition: Attached to only one adjacent tooth.
  • Pros: Useful when only one support tooth is available.
  • Cons: Less stable than other bridge types.

The Bridge Procedure

  • Examination and X-rays determine the best bridge type.
  • We prepare a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
  • Supporting teeth are reshaped for crowns or implants.
  • Impressions are taken for custom bridge fabrication.
  • The bridge is permanently secured in place.
  • Any necessary adjustments ensure comfort and function.

Aftercare for Dental Bridges

  • Maintain daily brushing and flossing.
  • Avoid hard or sticky foods initially.
  • Attend routine check-ups to ensure stability.
  • If you feel pain or discomfort while chewing.
  • If the bridge feels loose or misaligned.
