What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is made by combining two dental crowns with a number of artificial teeth, which are referred to as pontics. The crowns are what will allow your dentist to attach the prosthesis to the teeth that you still have. Meanwhile, the pontics between the crowns will act as your replacement teeth, completely filling in the empty space in your grin.

Dental bridges can be made out of materials that mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel. As such, your new prosthesis can be personalized so that it blends right in with your remaining teeth.

Types of Dental Bridges

Before you can get a dental bridge, we’ll need to determine which kind is the best choice for your specific grin. Many patients can still benefit from a traditional dental bridge, but for others, an implant bridge might be a better option. Here are the basics of what you need to know about the two types of bridges.

Traditional Dental Bridge

A traditional dental bridge can be used to replace a single missing tooth or multiple consecutive missing teeth. The prosthesis will use two of your natural teeth for support; as such, we’ll need to confirm that the teeth in question are healthy and strong enough for the job.

Implant Bridge

If three or more teeth in a row have been lost, it may be possible to replace them with an implant bridge. This is a type of bridge that is supported by two dental implants instead of natural teeth. Dental implants can help prevent bone loss and provide your dental bridge with additional strength and stability. However, you can only have them placed if there’s enough bone present in your jaw.

The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge

Recompleting your smile with a dental bridge comes with the following advantages:

  • The bridge will prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of alignment.
  • You will have a beautiful, natural-looking smile that can help you make a better first impression when it counts the most.
  • It’s possible for a dental bridge to last for over 15 years if you take good care of it.
