CROWN AND BRIDGE

Dental Bridges: Replace Teeth Using Excellency

A dental bridge is a prosthesis which joins the void that results from missing one or more teeth with a false tooth or teeth attached to crowns on either side, connected to the natural teeth. The bridge restores the smile without just doing it; it enables the person to talk and chew without discomfort from self-assurance.

When Do You Demand Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is often used to replace:

• Lost Tooth: A bridge would fill this void if you lost a tooth through decay, injury or extraction.
• Prevent Teeth from Shifting: It keeps teeth close to the empty space from drift into the void created by the missing tooth that could lead to their misalignment.
• Re-establish Chewing: When the teeth are missing, it prevents you from chewing normally. A bridge would re-establish such function and comfort in your bite.
• Enhance a Smile: A bridge would result in regaining a full exquisite smile if one or more teeth are missing.

Types of Dental Bridges

At Shan Dental, we offer several types of bridges to meet your specific needs:

• Traditional Bridges: These are the most common type and are used when there are healthy teeth on both sides of the gap. The bridge is anchored by crowns on the adjacent teeth.
• Cantilever Bridges: If there’s only one adjacent tooth, a cantilever bridge can be used to fill the gap, with a crown anchoring the bridge to the remaining tooth.
• Maryland Bridges: A more conservative option, Maryland bridges use a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth without the need for crowns.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: For patients who do not have adjacent teeth, an implant-supported bridge is anchored by dental implants, offering a secure and durable solution.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

• Restores Missing Teeth: Bridges restore your smile by replacing missing teeth and filling gaps.
• Improves Functionality: They help you eat, speak, and chew more comfortably by restoring the natural bite.
• Natural Appearance: Custom-designed to blend with your natural teeth, our bridges offer an aesthetic, seamless finish.
• Prevents tooth Shifting: By filling in the gaps, bridges prevent surrounding teeth from shifting and causing alignment issues.
• Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, dental bridges can last for many years, providing lasting benefits for both form and function.

The Procedure for Dental Bridges

• Consultation and Assessment: The doctor will check your teeth and gums and assess how well you qualify for a bridge. In addition, options will be discussed with you.
• Preshape: The adjacent teeth will be prepped for the crowns or abutments so that impressions can be made for a custom-fit bridge during fabrication.
• Temporary Bridge: Temporary bridge placement while permanent restoration is in progress.
• Placement of Final Bridge: After completion of the bridge, Dr. Pathak will fit-check and cement the bridge into place.
