What is a Dental Bridge?

As the name implies, a dental bridge literally bridges the gap between teeth.

A bridge is custom-made using high-quality materials (porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, metal alloys, etc.) that look and feel like your real teeth. The bridge is anchored to teeth or an artificial tooth is placed to act as the anchor.

A bridge is an ideal smile restoration solution if you have one or more missing teeth. It’s also rather affordable because of how it replaces several teeth at once.

Benefits of a Dental Bridge

A dental bridge does so much more than just replace a missing tooth or few. It contributes to improving your whole health, confidence, and appearance.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

A new smile awaits you in two to three visits.

Consultation, Preparation, Impressions, and Temporary Bridges

A consultation is the first step in the process of getting a bridge. Here, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw visually and with an x-ray or digital scan. They’ll discuss treatment and answer any of your questions.

If everything looks good, your dentist and team will begin preparing your mouth for the bridge. This may include reshaping to provide appropriate space for the bridge. An impression or 3D scan is then done to get a perfect snapshot of the gap so a custom bridge can be made.

The process is longer if you require a dental implant as it needs to heal before a bridge is placed.

A temporary bridge is created and placed while your permanent bridge is developed.

Permanent Bridge and Follow-Up

The next visit is when you get your permanent bridge.

Your dentist will ensure the bridge is to the exact specifics, fits perfectly, and matches the natural teeth around it. The bridge is then fixed in place with a strong bonding agent.

A follow-up visit will be made to ensure the bridge feels good and that you’re adapting to it.
