What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are permanent prosthetics used to replace one or more missing teeth. The supporting teeth are covered with crowns, also referred to as abutments, and the spaces between them are filled with pontics, or artificial teeth.
Bridges give a sturdy, natural-feeling tooth replacement that functions similarly to your natural teeth since they are permanently fixed in place, unlike removable partial dentures.
When Are Dental Bridges Recommended?
For some tooth replacement situations when both functionality and appearance are crucial, dental bridges offer the best options:
- One or more missing teeth: Spaces between healthy teeth that impair speech, grin look, or chewing ability.
- Adjacent Tooth Support: When nearby teeth are sufficiently robust to sustain the building and upkeep of a bridge.
- Implant substitutes: Situations in which bone loss, health issues, or personal preference make dental implants unsuitable.
- Comprehensive Treatment: A coordinated restoration of several missing teeth is a component of full-mouth repair.

The Dental Bridge Process
To guarantee the best possible fit, functionality, and appearance, creating your personalized bridge requires certain precise appointments:
- Thorough Treatment Scheduling: comprehensive evaluation that includes bite analysis and X-rays to identify the best bridge design for your unique requirements.
- Tooth Prep: The process of carefully modifying supporting teeth to make room for crowns while maintaining the greatest amount of healthy tooth structure is known as "abutment tooth preparation."
- Precision Impressions: To fabricate your personalized bridge in a lab, high-accuracy molds precisely measure the tooth's size and bite connections.
- Custom Bridge Fabrication: To ensure the best possible fit and look, skilled laboratory specialists use premium materials and cutting-edge technology to manufacture your bridge.
- Final Bridge Placement: After a careful bite assessment, your finished bridge will be fitted, adjusted, and permanently cemented.
- Post-Placement Care: To guarantee long-term success, follow-up appointments should be scheduled, and comprehensive instructions for bridge maintenance should be provided.
