What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges is a solution replacing missing teeth. Composed of two or more crowns that fit on the anchoring teeth on either side of the gap, a bridge can restore the functionality and aesthetics of your teeth. Our experts specialise in creating seamless, natural-looking dental bridges that restore smiles and confidence.

Dental Bridge Treatment Process

Consultation and Smile Design: During the initial appointment, a full mouth assessment is conducted to evaluate the health of the teeth that will support the bridge and to measure the size and shape of the gap. We analyse how you speak, smile, and bite. A 3D digital scan of your teeth is taken to aid in planning your dental bridge.

Preparation of Teeth & Temporary Bridge: In the first appointment of the bridge process, the teeth designated to hold the bridge are prepared for dental crowns or attachments, depending on your bridge design. A digital scan is taken and sent to our skilled lab technicians for crafting. At the end of this appointment, a temporary bridge is placed, allowing you to test drive your new smile and final bridge.

Final Bridge Application: During the final appointment, the temporary bridge is removed and replaced with the permanent bridge. This final bridge can be porcelain, zirconia, or metal-based, depending on what is best suited for you functionally and aesthetically. The bridge is then bonded to your teeth using high-strength cement material.

Other Types of Dental Bridges

1. Maryland Dental Bridge – A conservative option, this bridge uses porcelain or metal wings on its sides, bonded to your adjacent teeth.

2. Traditional Dental Bridge – The most common type involves placing crowns on teeth surrounding the gap, supporting a false tooth in between.

3. Implant-Supported Bridge – This bridge uses implants instead of natural teeth to hold it in place, offering high stability, especially for multiple missing teeth.

4. Cantilever Dental Bridge – This bridge is anchored to a single crown on one side and is often used when only one adjacent tooth is available.

5. Composite Resin Bridge – Often considered a temporary solution, this bridge is made by bonding a composite material directly to the adjacent teeth.

Benefits and Risks of Dental Bridge Treatment

Benefits of Dental Bridges
  • Restore Functionality and Aesthetics: Bridges enhance your smile and restore your ability to chew by filling in gaps.
  • Prevent Teeth from Shifting: They help maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth by filling the spaces left by missing teeth.
  • A Non-surgical Alternative: Unlike dental implants, bridges do not require surgery.
Risks of Dental Bridges
  • Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Some bridges require the neighbouring teeth to be filed down to accommodate the crowns.
  • Risk of Bridge Failure: If the supporting teeth fail, become infected, or fracture, the entire bridge may also fail.
  • Potential for Decay and Gum Disease: Areas around or beneath the bridge can become vulnerable to dental problems if not properly cared for.
