What is Dental Bridges?
Dental bridge is a fixed prosthesis covering one or more missing teeth with support from adjacent teeth. The bridge consists of pontics (body teeth) attached to support teeth (abutment teeth) on both sides.
Bridges, which can be preferred as an alternative to implants, complete missing teeth without surgery. They can be made from zirconium, metal-porcelain, or full porcelain materials.
Treatment Stages
Evaluation
Missing tooth area and adjacent teeth condition are examined.
Tooth Preparation
Teeth that will be bridge abutments are prepared for crowns.
Impression
Precise impression is taken and sent to laboratory.
Temporary Bridge
Temporary bridge is placed until permanent bridge is made.
Permanent Bridge
Bridge is tried, adjusted and cemented.
Dental Bridges Types
Traditional Bridge
Support teeth on both sides. Most common and strongest type.
Cantilever Bridge
Supported from one side. For situations where single support tooth is adequate.
Maryland Bridge
Bonded with metal or porcelain wings. Requires minimal preparation.
Implant Supported Bridge
Attached to implants. Ideal for multiple missing teeth.
How Is It Done?
Bridge treatment is completed in 2-3 sessions within 1-2 weeks.
