What are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They bridge the gap created by missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Dental bridges restore function, improve aesthetics, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Types of Dental Bridges at Rely Dental Clinic
Traditional Bridges
Traditional bridges are the most common type. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth (abutment teeth). This type of bridge is durable and provides a strong, stable solution for missing teeth.
Cantilever Bridges
Cantilever bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth. The pontic is anchored to one or more abutment teeth on one side, providing a solution when traditional bridges cannot be used.
Maryland Bridges
Maryland bridges, also known as resin-bonded bridges, are supported by a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent natural teeth. This type of bridge is less invasive, as it requires minimal alteration of the adjacent teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant-supported bridges are used when multiple teeth are missing. Instead of being supported by natural teeth, the bridge is anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This type of bridge offers a strong, long-lasting solution and does not rely on adjacent natural teeth.
The Dental Bridge Procedure at Rely Dental Clinic
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Rizwana and Dr. Rachana Bharma will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your dental history, needs, and goals.
- Treatment Planning: A customized treatment plan is created based on your specific requirements.
- Tooth Preparation: For traditional and cantilever bridges, the abutment teeth are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crowns.
- Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a model for the dental bridge.
- Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the prepared teeth while the permanent bridge is being fabricated.
- Permanent Bridge Placement: Once the permanent bridge is ready, it is adjusted for fit and cemented into place, restoring your smile and function.
