What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is sort of like an extended dental crown. It entails a simulated ceramic tooth sandwiched between two “caps” designed to affix to the natural teeth. They’re perfect for replacing one or two teeth that are directly next to each other without the need for the surgery associated with dental implants.

Types of Dental Bridges

There are several different kinds of dental implants, distinguished largely by how they’re attached to the jaw. Which is right for you comes down to your needs, and we’ll be able to give you more specialized advice when we meet you in person. Until then, however, here’s what you should know about each kind.

Traditional Dental Bridges

Traditional dental bridges work essentially as described above, making use of an artificial tooth sandwiched between two dental crowns. They’re a quick and easy way to replace a tooth that you’ve lost, and in making use of the natural teeth, offers greater bite force than what you’d get with dentures.

Implant Bridges

Implant bridges are slightly different—instead of connecting to dental crowns, a line of artificial teeth is attached to metal posts surgically placed into the jaw. This affords them greater bite strength than you would get from a traditional dental bridge and doesn’t require removing any healthy enamel.

The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge

There are quite a few reasons why you need to replace a tooth that you’ve lost. For one, the surrounding teeth could start to move out of place, causing misalignment and oral health problems in addition to the obvious aesthetic issues.

Missing teeth can also impair your ability to speak easily, or to chew your food properly. With a dental bridge, you can quickly and easily put these problems in the rear-view mirror—if you want to see what they’re capable of, give us a call today!
