What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth made from metal or ceramic materials strung between two dental crowns or dental implants placed at either side of the gap created by tooth loss. These devices are designed to securely hold their place in the mouth, which allows them to restore the appearance of the patient’s smile as well as a significant amount of their chewing ability. A suitable dental crown candidate will need healthy teeth on either side of the gap left by tooth loss or jawbones strong enough to support dental implants, and it is also necessary to be free from oral infections such as tooth decay and gum disease.

Types of Dental Bridges

The process of receiving a dental bridge always begins with a consultation with Dr. Seredynski. Based on your needs and preferences, he may recommend an appliance such as:

Traditional Dental Bridge

A traditional dental bridge is one or more artificial teeth supported by dental crowns placed on the healthy natural teeth on either side of the gap created by tooth loss. While placing these restorations requires the altering of healthy dental structure, they can help a patient achieve a complete and functional smile and last for five to seven years on average.

Implant Bridge

Dental implants are titanium pieces designed to be surgically inserted into the jawbone and fused with its structure through the natural process of osseointegration. These devices can be used to anchor dental bridges in the mouth without the altering of healthy teeth, and appliances supported in this way can last for much longer than traditional devices.

The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge

A dental bridge can deliver several remarkable benefits such as:

  • Supporting the remaining teeth so they don’t drift out of place.
  • Improving the patient’s confidence in their appearance.
  • Making it easier for the patient to speak clearly and eat comfortably.
  • Preventing oral injuries and infections that can result from tooth loss.
