What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that literally bridges the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, anchored in place by crowns on the surrounding natural teeth or by dental implants. Dental bridges can be crafted from materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys for strength and a natural appearance.
Types of Dental Bridges
The right type of bridge for you depends on your specific needs, goals, and oral health. During your consultation, Dr. Gaitsgory will examine your teeth and gums, discuss your options, and recommend the type of bridge that will offer the best long-term results for your smile.
Traditional Dental Bridges
A traditional dental bridge is anchored by dental crowns placed on the natural teeth adjacent to the gap. This type of bridge is durable, reliable, and can quickly restore both the function and appearance of your smile. It’s a time-tested solution that can last for many years with proper care.
Implant Bridges
Implant bridges are supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth. Dental implants are small titanium posts placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. With this option, there’s no need to alter the surrounding teeth, and implants also help preserve bone density in the jaw, making them a stable, long-term solution.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge
Leaving a gap in your smile can lead to a variety of issues, including teeth shifting out of place, changes in your bite, and increased risk of gum disease or tooth decay. Missing teeth can also make eating and speaking more difficult and take a toll on your self-confidence. A dental bridge can address these problems by restoring your bite, preventing movement of surrounding teeth, and giving you a smile you’re proud to share.
