BRING BACK THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE

BRING BACK THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE

Dental Bridge

A Dental Bridge is a fixed dental restoration which is used to replace a missing tooth (or several teeth) by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants. A Dental Bridge is made of two crowns for the teeth on both side of the gap – these two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth.

BENEFITS OF HAVING

DENTAL BRIDGE

  • Uphold the shape of your face
  • Enable you to chew and bite properly
  • Ensures that your remaining teeth do not drift out of their normal position

Type of dental Bridge

TRADITIONAL BRIDGES​

A traditional bridge is where a crown is created for the tooth or the implant on the either side of the missing teeth, with an artificial tooth in between. As the most common type of bridge, the traditional bridges are made of metal or ceramics or porcelain-fused materials.

CANTILEVER BRIDGES

This treatment is provided if you have adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing teeth or tooth. However, this treatment is not suggested for the back of the mouth where it can place excessive force on other teeth and cause damage.

MARYLAND BONDED BRIDGES​

These bridges are made of plastic teeth and gums that are supported by a metal framework. The metal wings on each side of the bridge are bonded to your existing teeth.

Potential risks associated with bridge treatment

  • Post-operative sensitivity
  • Irreversible pulpitis/pulp necrosis
  • Tooth fracture
  • Crown/bridge fracture
  • Crown/bridge dislodgement
  • Secondary caries/decay
  • Periodontal disease
  • Unsatisfactory lab work
  • Restricted mouth opening
