What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a custom restoration that fills gaps in your smile, helping you feel more confident in your appearance and oral health. It combines a row of artificial teeth that are flanked by two dental crowns. These help anchor the bridge in place using healthy abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Their natural-looking appearance makes them a preferred method of tooth replacement.

Types of Dental Bridges

There are two types of dental bridges: traditional and implant. You can expect Dr. Barnett to discuss these options with you during your consultation and recommend the one that best suits your needs and preferences.

Traditional Dental Bridge

A traditional fixed bridge stays in place using healthy abutment teeth. We must alter these natural pearly whites to ensure a comfortable, snug fit once the dental crowns are placed. The rest of the bridge is made of artificial porcelain teeth that sit on top of the gums and fill the gap.

Implant Bridge

An implant bridge is a more stable and secure replacement. It is anchored to two dental implants placed in the jawbone. We surgically position titanium implant posts in the bone to support your bridge. Once it is attached, the implants help stimulate your jawbone. This helps prevent future bone and tooth loss.

What Are the Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge?

You will not regret replacing your missing teeth. Whether you choose a traditional or implant-retained bridge, you can expect to enjoy many benefits. These include:

  • A natural-looking, radiant smile that boosts your confidence.
  • Improved jawbone stability when choosing implant bridges.
  • Better oral health by avoiding dental drift so that future orthodontic treatment is not required.
  • An easy-to-clean restoration that only requires using regular oral hygiene products.
  • Traditional bridges can provide results you enjoy for a decade or longer. Bridges supported by implants can last 30 years or more.
