Are you missing two or more teeth in a row but want a permanent,

literally bridge gaps between teeth, improving the smile's overall
appearance as well as the patient's ability to speak clearly, chew
properly, and bite down without fear or pain. We offer a variety
of bridges, including traditional, implant, and modern porcelain,
so we have an option for almost everyone. If you're seeking a comfortable,
natural-looking answer to missing teeth, contact us today and inquire
about bridges.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is
fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a
missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place that are attached
onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. This is known as
a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing
teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might
do with removable partial dentures.
In areas of your mouth that are under less stress, such as your
front teeth, a cantilever bridge may be used. Cantilever bridges
are used when there are teeth on only one side of the open space.
Bridges can reduce your risk of gum disease, help correct some bite
issues and even improve your speech. Bridges require your commitment
to serious oral hygiene, but will last as many ten years or more.
If you a space from a missing tooth, a bridge will be custom
made to fill in the space with a false tooth. The false tooth is
attached by the bridge to the two other teeth around the space -
bridging them together.
How is dental bridge accomplished?
Your cosmetic dentist will prepare your teeth on either side
of the space for the false tooth. You will be given a mild anesthetic
to numb the area, and the cosmetic dentist will remove the an area
of each abutment (teeth on either side of the space) to accommodate
for the thickness of the crown. When these teeth already have fillings,
part of the filling may be left in place to help as a foundation
for the crown.
The dentist will then make an impression, which will serve as
the model from which the bridge, false tooth and crowns will be
made by a dental laboratory. A temporary bridge will be placed for
you to wear while your bridge is being made until your next visit.
This temporary bridge will serve to protect your teeth and gums.
Your cosmetic dentist may have you use a Flipper appliance. A
Flipper is a false tooth to temporarily take the place of a missing
tooth before the permanent bridge is placed. A Flipper can be attached
via either a wire or a plastic piece that fits in the roof of your
mouth. Flippers are meant to be a temporary solution while awaiting
the permanent bridge.
On your second appointment, the temporary bridge will be removed.
Your new permanent bridge will be fitted and checked and adjusted
for any bite discrepancies. Your new bridge will then be cemented
to your teeth.
Types of Dental Bridge Procedures
There are three types of dental bridges:
- Traditional Fixed Bridge:
A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a potic, which is
fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a
missing tooth. There two crowns holding it in place that are attached
onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. This is known as
a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing
teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might
do with removable partial dentures.
- Resin Bonded Bridges:
The resin bonded is primarily used for your front teeth. Less
expensive, this bridge is best used when the abutment teeth are
healthy and don't have large fillings. The false tooth is fused
to metal bands that are bonded to the abutment teeth with a resin
which is hidden from view. This type of bridge reduces the amount
of preparation on the adjacent teeth.
- Cantilever Bridges:
In areas of your mouth that are under less stress, such as your
front teeth, a cantilever bridge may be used. Cantilever bridges
are used when there are teeth on only one side of the open space.
This procedure involves anchoring the false tooth to one side over
one or more natural and adjacent teeth.
