Missing Teeth?????.....Get Fixed Teeth Replacement/ Dental Bridges to get them back
A dental bridge is a method to fill a gap created by a missing tooth (or teeth). Dental bridge or pontic is a custom-made false tooth or teeth, which are permanently placed between two healthy teeth, filling the area left by a missing tooth or teeth. The bridge is held in place by crowns(caps) placed on the healthy teeth on each side of space to be filled.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Types of Dental Bridges
1. Traditional bridges
Traditional bridges involve creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between. Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge.
2. Cantilever bridges
Cantilever bridges are usually used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth.
3. Maryland bridges
Marlyland bridges also called a resin-bonded bridges or a Maryland bonded bridges. Maryland bridges are supported by a metal framework. Metal wings on each side of the bridge are bonded to the back of existing adjacent teeth.
Types of Dental Bridge Materials
There are three basic types of materials for dental bridges:
The all porcelain dental bridges and porcelain fused to metal (PFM) dental bridges are tooth colored bridges. PFM dental bridges are usually used to restore back teeth where the forces of chewing and grinding are strongest. All porcelain dental bridges are the most aesthetic and are used almost exclusively for front teeth where the need for strength is not as critical. Metal dental bridges are the most durable and offer the most precise fit. Metal dental bridges do not chip.
The porcelain bridges used at Vitaldent Advanced Dental Clinic include the IPS Empress Esthetics crowns from Ivoclar Vivadent and Procera NobelEsthetics from Nobel Biocare.
Procedure for Dental Bridges Treatment
The course of treatment described here is for traditional bridges, one of several options available at our dental clinic. Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.
1. First evaluation and bridge tooth preparation
2. Fitting of bridge on delivery
3. Care of bridge
Recovery Expectations
Both the preparation and placement of the temporary bridge as well as the bonding of the permanent bridge may cause some minor tenderness in the area. Some individuals may experience sensitivity in teeth. This sensitivity will disappear gradually over a few days to weeks.
Post care Instructions for Dental Bridges
It is important to keep your remaining teeth healthy and strong as the success of the bridge depends upon them. The bridge depends on the solid foundation offered by the surrounding teeth.
Care for Dental Bridges
Dental bridges require the same regular and consistent home and professional dental care, as your natural teeth to prevent decay at the tooth-dental crown junction. To provide optimum longevity for your restorations, please follow the home care tips below:
