What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that replace one or more missing teeth. Anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants, they consist of artificial teeth (pontics) that bridge the gap, ensuring stability and a natural appearance.
At Sandgate Family Dental, we design bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing strength, durability and an aesthetically pleasing result.
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type, consisting of a false tooth (pontic) held in place by dental crowns on either side. They are typically made from porcelain or ceramic for a natural appearance.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the gap. A cantilever bridge is anchored to only one tooth, making it suitable in specific scenarios.
- Maryland Bridges: These involve a prosthetic tooth supported by a framework bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth. It is a less invasive option compared to traditional bridges.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: These provide even greater stability and durability. Dental implants are placed in the jawbone and serve as anchors for the bridge, making them a long-term solution for multiple missing teeth.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at Sandgate Family Dental. Our experienced dentists will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment options, and help you choose the best type of bridge for your needs.
Preparation
If you choose a traditional or cantilever bridge, the adjacent teeth will need to be prepared by shaping them to receive crowns. For implant-supported bridges, a dental implant will be placed in the bone to serve as the foundation for the bridge.
Impressions and Temporary Bridge
Once the preparation is complete, impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth while your permanent bridge is being made.
Placement of the Bridge
After your custom bridge is ready, you will return to our office for its placement. We will ensure a perfect fit and make any necessary adjustments. Once secured, your new bridge will restore your smile and functionality.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restored Functionality: Bridges help you chew and speak comfortably, improving your overall quality of life.
- Natural Appearance: Custom-made to match your natural teeth, bridges enhance your smile without compromising aesthetics.
- Preventing Teeth Shifting: Filling the gap prevents surrounding teeth from shifting, helping maintain proper alignment.
- Enhanced Oral Health: Bridges support your facial structure, preventing bone loss and further dental issues.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Taking care of your dental bridge is essential for its longevity. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups at Sandgate Family Dental will help keep your bridge in excellent condition.
