Dental Bridges are fixed prosthetic devices attached to natural teeth or dental implants. It bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
Dental bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. They span the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or dental implants surrounding the empty space.
Gaps are not encouraged to be left empty because it may cause remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in misalignment of teeth.
Your dental specialist will first make a dental impression after the teeth are prepared. This provides a replica of the teeth for fabrication of the bridge which will be ready in 1-2 weeks. A temporary bridge will be issued while waiting for the permanent dental bridge.
Once the dental bridge is fabricated, it is permanently cemented in place, it will instantly restore your teeth to its original and natural shape.
Generally, a dental bridge can last a lifetime with excellent care. The most important step you can take to ensure the longevity of your bridge is to practice good oral hygiene and regular check-ups at your dental clinic.
