Permanent dental bridge

Permanent Dental Bridge: The Perfect Solution for Missing Teeth

A dental bridge is an effective solution for restoring missing teeth. This process involves filling the gap of a missing tooth or teeth using a device that bridges the gap. The artificial tooth, known as a pontic, is attached between two crowns that serve as anchors for the adjacent teeth, creating both an aesthetic and functional solution.

A fixed dental bridge is the ideal solution for maintaining a perfect smile. At Dr. Ilan Preiss’s clinic, we guarantee responsibility, quality, and innovation in our treatments. We offer comprehensive services including: dental bridge treatment, permanent dental bridges, fixed tooth bridges, and repair of fixed dental bridges. Contact us for advice and to schedule an appointment!

When is a dental bridge necessary?

A dental bridge is recommended when one or more teeth are missing and the condition affects:

  • Aesthetics and Smile: A missing tooth can negatively impact appearance and self-confidence.
  • Bite: Tilting of adjacent teeth towards the gap and changes in the contact between the upper and lower teeth can cause bite issues.
  • Facial Shape: Missing teeth can affect the structure of the face and lead to undesirable changes.
  • Gum Health: Food accumulation in the missing tooth area can lead to the development of gum diseases.

Types of fixed dental bridges

 

There are three main types of fixed dental bridges:

  • Traditional Fixed Bridge: This is the most common type, where the pontic is attached to two porcelain crowns anchored to adjacent teeth or dental implants. The pontic is usually made of a metal framework covered with porcelain or entirely from porcelain.

  • Maryland Bridge: This bridge is chosen for replacing a tooth in the front area, when the adjacent teeth are strong and have no large fillings. The pontic is made of plastic and is attached to metal wings bonded to the adjacent teeth using composite resin.

  • Cantilever Bridge: This type is suitable for front areas that bear less load. It is anchored to teeth only on one side of the gap, providing a solution when teeth are present only on one side.

What is a permanent dental bridge?

A dental bridge consists of several basic components:

  • Pontic (Artificial Tooth): The replacement tooth that fills the gap left by the missing tooth, made of materials such as gold, metal alloys, porcelain, or a combination of materials.

  • Crowns: Two crowns that anchor the artificial tooth to the adjacent teeth, providing support and stability.

Importance of completing missing teeth

 

Completing missing teeth is essential for several reasons:

  • Improving Appearance and Aesthetics: A full and perfect smile enhances overall appearance.
  • Reducing Load on Adjacent Teeth: The artificial tooth distributes the load on adjacent teeth, preventing potential damage.
  • Preventing Tooth Tilt and Bite Changes: Prevents adjacent teeth from tilting into the gap and maintains proper bite alignment.
  • Maintaining Oral Health: Prevents food accumulation in gaps and supports the health of gums and teeth.
