What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a type of tooth replacement that’s specifically designed to fill one or more gaps that are in a row. This way, you can restore your smile without needing a partial denture that will wrap around your entire arch.

The false teeth on a dental bridge are called “pontics.” While they will ultimately be the piece that will “stand in” for your missing teeth, they need to be supported by the healthy teeth on either side of your smile gap. Otherwise, the bridge would constantly be falling out of your mouth!

There are two types of abutments (or “supports”) that we can provide. You can learn more about each option below.

Types of Dental Bridges

A traditional dental bridge is supported by two “regular” crowns that will rest on top of your healthy teeth. An implant bridge, meanwhile, has two dental implants that are fitted on the very ends of a smile gap. Both are excellent restorations, but there are a few key differences in how they’ll effect your day-to-day life.

Traditional Dental Bridges

These last for about 15 years on average, and can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth. You’ll have to be careful to clean the space underneath the restoration – or rinse with a mouthwash to make sure you get rid of trapped bacteria and debris. It’s also generally recommended to mind what you eat with a traditional bridge, as biting down on hard foods could cause damage.

Implant bridges can last for 30 years or more with proper care. They’re also more durable than a traditional bridge, and you’ll be able to eat all of your favorite foods without issue. Plus, the implant posts effectively replace your lost dental roots and help slow jawbone loss by providing stimulation to the bone.

The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge

If you have difficulties chewing, maintaining a balanced diet, or feeling confident in social situations because of your missing teeth, a dental bridge can be a huge game-changer. Your teeth will come together more efficiently so you can enjoy your meals without discomfort and easily tear through tough foods. Thanks to our quality, tooth-colored materials, your bridge will also blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. You won’t have to worry about your smile attracting the wrong kind of attention from onlookers!
