Who Is It For?
A dental bridge is a great solution for individuals who have one or more missing teeth and want a permanent, natural-looking replacement.
This treatment may be advised for those who:
• Have a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth affecting their smile and function.
• Want to restore their ability to chew and speak properly.
• Are looking for a fixed, non-removable alternative to dentures.
• Desire a natural-looking, long-lasting tooth replacement.
• Want to prevent shifting of surrounding teeth and maintain facial structure.
A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth, ensuring a functional, aesthetically pleasing, and durable solution.
How It Works
A dental bridge consists of a false tooth (pontic) held in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The process involves:
✔ Bridging the gap between missing teeth for a complete smile.
✔ Restoring bite function, improving chewing and speech.
✔ Preventing teeth from shifting, which can cause misalignment.
✔ Enhancing appearance, blending seamlessly with natural teeth.
✔ Providing a long-lasting, fixed solution without the need for removable dentures.
Dental bridges can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or metal, depending on your needs and preferences.
What to Expect
The Treatment Process
1. Consultation & Examination – Your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss the best type of bridge for you.
2. Tooth Preparation – The adjacent teeth (called abutments) are gently reshaped to support the bridge.
3. Digital Scan & Temporary Bridge – A 3D scan is taken using our advanced intraoral scanner—no messy impressions needed. A temporary bridge is placed to protect the area while your custom bridge is crafted.
4. Permanent Bridge Placement – Once the bridge is ready, it is carefully fitted and secured for a comfortable, natural feel.
How Long Does It Take?
• The process typically requires two visits over 1-2 weeks.
• Some cases may take longer if additional dental work is needed.
Recovery & Aftercare
• Mild sensitivity may occur after placement but subsides within a few days.
• Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and using special floss threaders to clean under the bridge.
• Regular dental check-ups help ensure long-term durability (bridges can last 10-15 years or more with proper care).
