Dental Bridges for Better Oral Health and More Confidence

A missing tooth—or several—can be embarrassing and impact your self-esteem. You want to speak, smile, and laugh freely, and a dental bridge can help. Not only does a bridge address cosmetic concerns, but it also plays a vital role in maintaining your oral health.

 

Why Is Replacing a Missing Tooth Necessary?
Missing teeth are common, especially as we age. But leaving a gap untreated can lead to significant oral health issues. Over time, adjacent teeth may shift to fill the empty space, leading to:

  • Poor tooth alignment
  • Bite problems
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Jaw and tooth pain
  • Changes in facial shape

 

Whether your tooth loss is due to injury, gum disease, decay, or genetics, we’re here to help. A dental bridge can restore your oral health, confidence, and smile.

Plus, we offer a lifetime warranty on our dental bridges at Tattva Dental Clinic.

What to Expect When You Get a Dental Bridge

Preparation

Crowns will need to be placed on teeth surrounding the gap, which requires removing some dentin and enamel to make room for them. If implants will be used to secure the bridge, those will need to be surgically placed in your jaw prior to the bridge placement.

Impressions or Digital Scans

After the teeth or implants are prepared, the dentist will take impressions or digital scans of your mouth. Your custom bridge and crowns will be crafted based on these molds. You may receive a temporary bridge to protect your teeth while the permanent one is being made.

Final Placement

During a follow-up visit, the crowns will be placed over the prepared teeth or implants. The permanent bridge will then be secured and adjusted to ensure a comfortable fit.

Treatment

What Kind of Bridges Are There?

The type of dental bridge you receive depends on the condition of your remaining teeth. A dental bridge is typically fixed to either healthy teeth or dental implants. Here are the two main types of bridges:

 

  • Traditional Fixed Bridges
    Traditional fixed bridges are the most common type of dental bridge. These bridges are secured to two or more crowned teeth, with “filler teeth” placed in the gap to replace the missing tooth.

  • Implant-Supported Bridges
    Implant-supported bridges work similarly to traditional bridges, but instead of being fixed to existing teeth, they are supported by dental implants. This is a great option for patients who do not have healthy teeth surrounding the gap.

 

Both options provide excellent stability and can help restore function and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Proper care of your dental bridge involves maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine to protect the strength and durability of the teeth or implants it’s secured to:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day for at least two minutes.
  • Floss daily, focusing on cleaning around and under the bridge.
  • Eat a healthy, balanced diet while limiting sugary and acidic foods.
  • Visit your dentist every 6 months for professional cleanings and exams.

With good oral hygiene, dental bridges can last 10 years or more. On average, bridges have a lifespan of 5 to 7 years but can last longer with proper care and maintenance.

On the contrary, a dental bridge can improve your ability to eat and speak. Missing teeth can make it harder to pronounce words and chew food effectively. Replacing them with a bridge restores functionality, making daily tasks easier and more comfortable.
