Dental Bridges

Restoring Your Smile

Dental bridges are a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, anchored in place by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges are designed to restore functionality and aesthetics, making them an excellent solution for those with gaps in their smile.

When Are Dental Bridges Needed?

Dental bridges may be recommended for:
  • Replacing Missing Teeth: Bridges are ideal for filling gaps left by missing teeth, helping to restore your smile’s appearance and function.
  • Maintaining Tooth Alignment: By replacing missing teeth, bridges help prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to bite issues and further dental problems.
  • Improving Chewing Function: A bridge restores the ability to chew effectively, improving your overall eating experience.
  • Enhancing Aesthetics: Bridges can enhance the appearance of your smile by filling in gaps and creating a more uniform look.

Types of Dental Bridges

  • Traditional Bridges: Consist of crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap, supporting the pontic in the middle. These are the most common type and are ideal when there are healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth.
  • Cantilever Bridges: Used when there is only one adjacent tooth available for support. They extend from that tooth into the space where the tooth is missing.
  • Maryland Bridges: Also known as resin-bonded bridges, these feature a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth, making them less invasive.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges: These bridges are anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth, providing a stable and long-lasting solution, especially for multiple missing teeth.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

1

Initial Consultation

Our dental team will assess your oral health and discuss your options for replacing missing teeth, including whether a bridge is right for you

2

Preparation

After numbing the area, the adjacent teeth (or implants) are prepared for crowns by reshaping them to ensure a proper fit.

3

Impression

An impression is taken to create a custom bridge that will seamlessly blend with your natural teeth or implants.

4

Temporary Bridge

A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth while your permanent bridge is being fabricated.

5

Final Placement

Once your custom bridge is ready, you will return for the final placement. Our team will ensure a perfect fit and securely bond the bridge in place.

Alternative Options to Dental Bridges

If a dental bridge isn’t the right choice for you, several alternative options are available:
  • Dental Implants: Implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They involve placing a titanium post into the jawbone to serve as a root for a crown, providing a natural-looking and durable result.
  • Partial Dentures: These removable appliances replace multiple missing teeth and can be a more affordable option. Partial dentures are customized to fit comfortably and restore functionality.
  • Full Dentures: If you are missing all of your teeth, full dentures provide a complete solution. They can be traditional (removable) or implant-supported for added stability.

Care and Maintenance

With proper care, dental bridges can last many years. Regular oral hygiene—brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits—are essential for maintaining the health of your bridge and surrounding teeth.
