Dental Bridge

Service image

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent teeth. Here’s a detailed explanation of what a dental bridge is and how it works:


Components:

  • Pontic: This is the artificial tooth (or teeth) that replaces the missing tooth (or teeth). It fills the gap left by the missing tooth.

  • Abutments: These are the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. They serve as anchors for the bridge and support the pontic.

Benefits:

  • Restoration of Function: Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly.

  • Cosmetic Improvement: They improve the appearance of your smile by filling in gaps left by missing teeth.

  • Preservation of Oral Health: Bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to bite problems and gum disease.

  • Longevity: With proper care and regular dental check-ups, bridges can last many years.


Dental bridges are a reliable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance to your smile. Your dentist can evaluate your specific dental needs and discuss whether a bridge is the best option for you.
