Dental Bridge

Dental bridges help fill the gap between your teeth, with one or more artificial teeth. A bridge is usually made of porcelain to blend with your natural teeth, but it can be made from gold as well.

There are 4 main types of dental bridges:

• Traditional: false tooth/teeth that is held in place by dental crowns, which are cemented onto each of the abutment teeth.
• Cantilever: false tooth/teeth that is held in place by dental crowns, which are cemented to only one abutment teeth.
• Maryland: uses two natural abutment teeth, one on each side of the gap and uses  framework of either metal or porcelain, which gets bonded at the back of the abutment teeth.
• Implant-supported: uses dental implants instead of crowns and frameworks and is surgically placed for every missing tooth.

IMPORTANCE OF GETTING DENTAL BRIDGES:

• Reduces bite problems
• Helps with chewing difficulties
• Reduces pain caused from extra stress on your teeth and jaw
• Boosts your confidence and gives you your beautiful smile back.
