What Is A Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that quite literally “bridge” the gap created by missing teeth. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored to your natural teeth (abutment teeth) on either side of the gap. This helps restore your smile, improve your chewing ability, and prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.

The Benefits of Dental Bridges

1.

Restore Your Smile

Bridges fill the gaps in your smile, giving you a complete and confident appearance.

2.

Improve Chewing & Speaking

By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, bridges enable you to chew food properly and speak clearly, improving your overall oral function.

3.

Maintain Facial Structure

Missing teeth can cause your facial muscles to sag, making you look older. Bridges help maintain the natural shape of your face.

4.

Prevent Shifting Teeth

When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can shift out of place. A bridge helps keep your remaining teeth in their proper positions.

69% of adults aged 35-44 have lost at least one permanent tooth

The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge

Getting a dental bridge typically involves a few appointments:

  • Preparation: Your dentist in North Hollywood, Dr. Kathy, will prepare the abutment teeth by reshaping them to accommodate the crowns that will support the bridge. Impressions will be taken to create a custom-fit bridge.
  • Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge will be placed to protect your teeth and gums while your permanent bridge is being made.
  • Placement: Once your permanent bridge is ready, you’ll return to have it placed. Dr. Kathy will ensure a proper fit and comfortable bite.

Types of Dental Bridges in North Hollywood

Traditional Bridges

These fixed restorations are the most common type of bridge design that we offer. Either side is attached to a stable, healthy tooth, suspending one or two pontic teeth between them.

Cantilever Bridges

When there is not a healthy tooth on both sides of the missing tooth, a cantilever bridge offers a single tooth-supported alternative. These artificial teeth are attached to the side of a functional dental crown, which is then set on top of the surviving adjacent tooth.

Maryland Bridges

A Maryland bridge is a replacement crown with small extensions that span out on either side of it. These “wings” are bonded behind the neighboring teeth, rather than reducing the shape of those teeth to cover them with a crown. Maryland bridges work well for front missing teeth, children, or temporary purposes before dental implant treatment.

Implant Bridges

An implant-supported dental bridge can replace multiple teeth at one time, as either end of the bridge is set on top of a dental implant. Up to four teeth in a row can be restored using only two dental implants.

Why Would You Need A Dental Bridge?

If you are missing one or more teeth and have healthy teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge, you may be a good candidate. However, it’s important to have healthy gums and adequate bone support. Our experienced dentist in North Hollywood will assess your oral health during a consultation to determine if a dental bridge is the right option for you.
