What Is Dental Bridges?
Dental Bridges is a fixed dental restoration that consists of multiple dental crowns joined together to replace one or more missing teeth. The dental bridge spans the gap left by missing teeth, using the adjacent natural teeth or implants as support.
The dentist at our affiliated clinic evaluates the shape, colour, and alignment of the teeth to create a dental bridge that is functional and visually natural. Dental Bridges helps restore chewing efficiency, improve speech, maintain facial structure, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. Ultimately, it enhances smile aesthetics, providing a natural and seamless appearance.
How It Works
Dental Bridges is applied through a multi-step restorative procedure. The supporting teeth, called abutments, are prepared by reshaping them to accommodate dental crowns. Dental impressions or digital scans of the prepared teeth and the gap are taken using specialized dental equipment, which are then sent to a dental laboratory to fabricate the custom dental bridge.
Temporary dental crowns or bridges may be placed to protect the prepared teeth while the permanent dental bridge is being made. Once the permanent dental bridge is ready, it is carefully fitted, adjusted for proper bite alignment, and cemented onto the abutment teeth.
