Dental bridges

‍

Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between remaining teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by crowns attached to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap, known as abutments.

There are several types of dental bridges:

• Traditional bridges use crowns on both sides of the gap.
• Cantilever bridges are used when only one abutment tooth is available.
• Maryland bridges use metal or porcelain wings bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
• Implant-supported bridges are anchored by dental implants rather than natural teeth.

Dental bridges restore function and aesthetics by allowing patients to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. They also prevent remaining teeth from shifting into the empty space, which could lead to bite problems or jaw pain.

The procedure typically involves two or more dental visits. First, the abutment teeth are prepared and impressions are taken. A temporary bridge is placed while the permanent one is crafted in a lab. Once ready, the final bridge is fitted and cemented.

With proper care and oral hygiene, dental bridges can last 10–15 years or more, providing a durable and natural-looking tooth replacement solution.
