Dental bridges are artificial prosthetic teeth used to replace the natural ones. They are custom-fabricated according to the contour of the natural teeth using dental-grade ceramic. Crowns are used to support a dental bridge on both sides to provide the necessary anchorage.
If you have any missing teeth, a dental bridge will provide you with a natural-looking replacement. As long as your remaining teeth are strong enough to support the bridge, your dentist will be able to use them as an anchor. After taking an impression, your dentist will create your replacement teeth and then either make them removable or permanently attach them to your surrounding teeth.
When compared to dentures, dental bridges produce a more natural and realistic result. Once the bridges are installed, your new abutment teeth will blend in with the rest of your natural teeth. Because of the way they are anchored, dental bridges are also more secure than dentures.
Dental bridges will provide you with both functionality and style. Here are some of the many advantages of dental bridges:
A bridge would be custom-fabricated to fit in the gap which is left by a missing tooth. Hence, the dentist takes a highly precise mold of the teeth during the initial visit. The dental bridge would be a combination of a prosthetic tooth and two crowns, which are used for anchorage. Hence, before taking the mold, the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are prepared for the crowns. They are cleaned and buffed, removing a thin layer of the enamel from their surface. The mold is sent to a dental laboratory, where it is used as a reference for fabricating the dental bridge.
Until the permanent bridge is finished, a temporary bridge may be fixed in position by the dentist. Temporary adhesives are used for this purpose so that it can be removed easily. The permanent bridge will be fabricated within a span of a few days. After this, the temporary bridge will be removed, and the permanent one will be bonded in place using dental adhesives. The dentist uses a curing light to harden it, makes any final adjustments, checks for the fit and comfort, and also evaluate the bite.
There are many different factors that you’ll have to take into consideration to determine whether or not dental bridges are right for you. One of the most important factors is whether or not your remaining teeth will be able to support the bridges. If they aren’t strong enough, the bridges won’t have any support, making it difficult for them to stay in place.
Another factor to consider is whether or not you want your replacement teeth to be removable. While there are tooth bridges that are designed to be removable, many of them are meant to stay in place 24/7 once they are installed. These permanent bridges will allow you to do everything from play sports to munch on all your favorite foods without having to worry about them falling out.
Unlike other procedures, dental bridges won’t require any surgery. Also, you’ll find that compared to dental implants, dental bridges cost less, making them an affordable alternative. You’ll be to enjoy having your smile back— all for an economical rate.
Though bridges are made from dental-grade ceramic, which is a pretty durable material, biting or chewing hard foods may damage them. Regular brushing and flossing would prevent staining and also increase the lifespan of the bridges.
