Dental Bridges A bridge, by definition, is a link or connection between two permanent structures. A dental bridge is very similar in that it attaches to the natural teeth on either side of a gap. The bridge replaces missing teeth, closing the gap and restoring your smile. Bridges are often constructed of gold or other metal foundations with porcelain fused to the foundation. Replacing missing teeth can improve your appearance, health, and self confidence. Likewise you avoid the detrimental affects of tooth loss including impacts to the way you eat, the way you speak, the shape of your face, and tooth alignment..
Types of Bridges There are three main types of bridges:
During your second visit to the office, we proceed with the placement of your final restoration. The bridge is fitted into your mouth. We make every effort to ensure that the new bridge feels exactly like your natural teeth. The final step in the process is to cement the bridge into your mouth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile. How Long Do They Last? The answer to this question is that it's not so easy to predict. The length of time your bridge lasts depends on many factors. These factors include how well the bridge is maintained, the teeth bridged, the condition of the supporting teeth, the health of the gums and associated structures, the dietary habits of the wearer, the material used in fabrication of the bridge, and so on. Because of the many variables that must be considered it is difficult to determine how many years a bridge might last.
