What exactly is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a form of tooth restoration commonly used to replace a lost tooth. There are various types of dental bridge available, but the most common form is a traditional fixed bridge. These bridges are made from a false tooth known as a pontic, which is fused to a crown on either side of the gap. The aim of treatment is to literally bridge the gap between two natural teeth when a tooth is lost through injury, trauma or decay.
Bridge treatment usually involves two sessions, which are around two weeks apart. During the first session, your dentist will talk you through the process and then create an impression of your teeth, which will be sent to the laboratory where your bridge will be made. When the bridge is ready, it will be returned to us and we can then fit it. This process is fairly simple and you won’t need any anaesthetic.
What are bridges made from and how long do they last?
There are various different options to choose from when it comes to materials for dental bridges, including metals, ceramic fused to metal and all-ceramic bridges. Ceramics are often very popular because they look very natural. Bridges are not a permanent solution, but they are hard-wearing and most last around 10-15 years. When you have routine check-ups, your dentist will check your bridge to make sure that it is in good condition.
If you have a missing tooth and you’re looking for a simple, affordable and aesthetically-pleasing solution, look no further than a dental bridge this summer. Call now to book your appointment!
