What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a long-lasting dental option that replaces missing teeth by connecting to nearby teeth or implants. This restoration, consisting of artificial teeth known as pontics, aids in restoring chewing function, maintaining facial structure, preventing teeth from shifting, and enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are various types of dental bridges available to meet different dental needs.
- Traditional Fixed Bridge: Pontics are connected to crowns on nearby natural teeth.
- Cantilever Bridge: Used when there is only one neighboring tooth for support.
- Maryland Bridge: Pontics are held in place by a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of neighboring teeth.
What is the process for placing dental bridges?
To ensure a perfect fit and lasting results, placing a dental bridge typically involves multiple steps. Here is an overview of the process:
- Initial Consultation: Our dentist in Cambridge, MA will assess your oral health, explore options, and determine the most suitable bridge for your needs
- Preparation: At the initial appointment, the abutment teeth (next to the gap) will be reshaped to accommodate crowns.
- Impressions: Precise impressions of your teeth will be taken to craft a personalized bridge that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Temporary Bridge: While the permanent bridge is being made, a temporary bridge will be placed to shield your exposed teeth.
- Final Placement: During your follow-up visit, the temporary bridge will be removed, and the new bridge will be assessed for fit and comfort before being permanently secured in place.
