What Is a Dental Bridge?
If you are missing one or a couple of teeth in a row, a dental bridge can be used to “bridge” the gap in your smile. A bridge works by anchoring on the natural teeth that are on each side of the gap. They are sturdy, lifelike, and can be made from various natural-looking materials that blend in with the rest of your teeth.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are two different types of dental bridges that help to meet various needs. Here is what each one consists of.
Traditional Dental Bridge
If you have healthy teeth on both sides of the gap, a traditional dental bridge is a good option. The teeth that support the dental crowns are called “abutment teeth,” and they are prepared so the restoration can fit comfortable in the mouth. Traditional dental bridges are usually placed in two visits to the dental office and are more affordable than their implant-supported alternative.
Implant Bridge
If you don’t have healthy adjacent teeth or are missing three or more teeth in a row, dental implants can be surgically inserted into your jawbone to act as an alternative option. Implant bridges offer additional benefits, like increased stability and longevity as well as preventing jawbone resorption over time.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge
You can experience a wide range of benefits when you choose a dental bridge to replace your missing teeth. Here are some of the most notable ones:
- Prevents dental drift
- Increased self-confidence
- Improves chewing ability
- Lower risk of oral health issues
- Cost-effective
- Improves speech articulation
