A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap between existing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap.
For international patients, dental bridges are a reliable and aesthetic solution to restore function and appearance in a short amount of time.
The Dental Bridge Process
-
Consultation & Planning
- Dental examination and X-rays
- Digital impressions taken to design the bridge
- Discussion of materials: zirconia, porcelain, or metal-supported options
-
Preparation of Supporting Teeth
- The abutment teeth (neighboring teeth) are gently reshaped
- Impressions are sent to the dental laboratory
-
Temporary Bridge
- A temporary bridge is placed to protect the teeth and gums while the permanent one is being fabricated
-
Final Bridge Placement
- The custom-made bridge is fitted and bonded securely
- Bite and aesthetics are adjusted for natural function
