What Is the Dental Bridge Procedure?

The purpose of dental bridges is to close the space created between missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap — which are called abutment teeth — and a false tooth/teeth in between. The pontics are made from gold or porcelain or a combination of these materials. The ultimate goal of dental bridges is to restore the basic functions in your mouth and protect you from harmful diseases.

Other common benefits of a dental bridge procedure include:

  • Restore the ability to talk and chew like normal
  • Maintain facial structure
  • Properly balance your bite
  • Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position

Dental Bridge After-Care

Keeping a regular cleaning schedule with our dentist will help to diagnose problems at an early stage, however, the success of your bridge is dependent on how strong and healthy your teeth remain. That’s why we encourage and recommend our patients to follow and practice good oral hygiene. Flossing and brushing your teeth twice daily and using the correct toothbrush and mouthwash can all play an important factor on the maintenance of your teeth. The last thing we want is for our patients to experience pain, or worse, infection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a dental bridge last?

With proper care, a dental bridge can last for many years. However, factors like oral hygiene habits, diet, and general health can influence its lifespan. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are crucial for maintaining the health of your dental bridge.

While dental bridges are a long-lasting solution, they are not permanent. Over time, they may need to be replaced or repaired. Factors like oral hygiene, diet, and general health can influence the lifespan of a dental bridge.

Can I eat and drink normally with a dental bridge?

Yes, you can generally eat and drink normally with a dental bridge. However, avoiding biting down on hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge is important.
