Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are an option for patients having one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is used to close the gap by replacing the missing tooth/teeth. Dental bridges are made of metal with porcelain or metal-free zirconia.
These prosthetic bridges, made up of porcelain teeth supported by neighboring natural teeth, fit perfectly with the current tooth structure.
Dental bridges enhance appearance and maintain optimal oral function by preventing neighboring teeth from misaligning. Maintenance includes routine dental examinations and strict oral hygiene to keep the bridge’s lifetime and the oral cavity’s overall health. Dental bridges offer a viable and visually appealing solution for those who want to restore a complete and functioning smile because of their strength and natural look.
Dental Bridge Procedure
For a dental bridge, the teeth adjacent to the gap will be prepared for the bridge. This process involves reshaping the teeth by removing so that a dental crown can be placed on top of the teeth. After this the dental impressions of the teeth are made. These impressions are used as a model to make the dental bridge. During the time span that your bridge is made in the dental lab, your dentist will provide you with a temporary bridge. You can wear the temporary bridge to help protect your prepared teeth until you receive the new bridge.
The dentist will remove your temporary bridge during your second visit and then the new bridge will be cemented.
