Dental Bridge: Restoring Your Smile's Integrity
At Smile Craft Dental Implant Center, we understand the importance of a healthy, complete smile. Dental bridges are an effective solution for removing overgrowth of dental calculus or tartar across multiple teeth, replacing missing teeth, and restoring both function and aesthetics. Learn more about dental bridges and how they can benefit you.
What is a Dental Bridge?
- It is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth.
- It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored in place by crowns attached to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional bridges: These are the most common type, consisting of pontics held in place by dental crowns on either side.
Cantilever bridges: Suitable when there is only one adjacent tooth for support.
Maryland bonded bridges: Made of porcelain or metal framework with wings that bond to adjacent teeth.
Implant-supported bridges: Secured in place by dental implants rather than natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restores the ability to chew and speak properly.
- Prevents adjacent teeth from shifting out of position.
- Maintains facial structure and prevents sagging.
- Restores aesthetics, improving confidence in your smile.
- Durable and long-lasting with proper care.
What does the procedure involve?
Dental bridge treatments are performed by Smile Craft Dental Implant Centre Prosthodontists located in Hoodi, Bangalore. The procedure usually requires two appointments. The first appointment will include preparation of the teeth on either side of the missing tooth by re-moving any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the dental bridge. Once these details are accomplished, accurate mold/impression of the prepared teeth is taken, and temporary crown will be fixed on the prepared tooth with temporary cement.
At the second appointment the temporary bridge will be removed, the teeth will be cleaned, and a new permanent dental bridge will be carefully cemented in place ensuring the bite is accurate.
You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new dental bridge.
