A dental bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. These artificial teeth, known as pontics, are held in place by crowns placed on the abutment teeth, which are the natural teeth adjacent to the gap. Dental bridges are typically made from metal, porcelain, or a combination of both, and are designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth for a natural appearance.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges help restore the mouth’s function by filling in the gap left by missing teeth. This makes it easier to speak and chew and helps prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Additionally, dental bridges improve the smile’s appearance by filling in gaps, creating a more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look.
Types of Dental Bridges
At Dr. Salim Kapadia Dental Centre, we offer a range of dental bridge options to suit the needs of our patients. Our experienced dentists will help you choose the best material and design for your specific situation, considering factors such as the location of the gap, the strength of the surrounding teeth, and your cosmetic goals. We provide both traditional and implant-supported dental bridges:
- Traditional Dental Bridges: These bridges use crowns placed on the abutment teeth to hold the pontic in place. They are suitable for gaps with healthy natural teeth on either side.
- Implant-Supported Dental Bridges: These bridges use dental implants to provide added stability and support. Implants are placed in the jawbone and act as anchors for the bridge, offering a more secure and long-lasting solution.
Our team of experienced dentists is dedicated to providing personalized care and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. We use the latest technology and materials to create dental bridges that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Whether you need a dental bridge to replace one missing tooth or several, we have the expertise to provide the quality care you deserve.
