What is a Dental Bridge?

Using artificial teeth and two dental crowns, a dental bridge can be crafted to fill in the space that exists along an arch. Whether caused by lost or extracted teeth, this gap can make daily living more challenging, especially when it comes to eating certain foods or speaking without slurring. By fusing the pieces together, it creates a solid bridge that is anchored to healthy abutment teeth on either side of the gap.

Types of Dental Bridges

There are two types of dental bridges – those that attach to existing, natural teeth, and those that are anchored in place with the help of dental implants.

Traditional Dental Bridge

A traditional, fixed dental bridge requires that you have healthy teeth that exist on both sides of the gap. This is so the prosthetic can remain firmly in place over time.

Implant Bridge

An implant bridge does not require altering any natural teeth; instead, it uses two titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. This creates a stable foundation for the bridge once it is put into place on top of the implant posts.

What Are the Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge?

You will discover there are many unique benefits to receiving a dental bridge, such as:

  • The ability to smile confidently because your smile is no longer incomplete
  • The chance to eat all your favorite foods
  • Being able to speak clearly when talking to others
  • Being able to enjoy a more natural-looking appearance because your prosthetic matches the rest of your smile
  • Being able to clean your teeth the same way you clean all the rest
  • Better oral and overall health by closing the gap in your smile and keeping all other natural teeth in place instead of drifting out of alignment
