What Is a Tooth Bridge?

A tooth bridge is a dental appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of a false tooth or teeth, called pontics, which are anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The bridge spans the gap left by the missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. By filling in these gaps, a tooth bridge helps to maintain proper bite alignment, prevent shifting of surrounding teeth, and enhance your overall smile. The procedure involves careful planning and precise placement to ensure a comfortable and natural-looking result.

Tooth Bridges FAQs

Got questions about tooth bridges? We have the answers you need.

  • What is a tooth bridge?

    A tooth bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth or teeth, called pontics, to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. It helps restore your smile, bite function, and oral health.

  • How long does it take to get a tooth bridge?

    The process of getting a tooth bridge typically involves two visits. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the supporting teeth or implants and takes impressions for the custom bridge. The second visit involves fitting and cementing the permanent bridge once it is ready, which usually takes a few weeks.

  • Is getting a tooth bridge painful?

    The procedure for getting a tooth bridge is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area during the preparation of the supporting teeth. Some minor discomfort may be experienced afterward, but it is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

  • How long do tooth bridges last?

    With proper care, teeth bonding can last between 5 to 10 years. The longevity of the bonding depends on factors like your oral hygiene, eating habits, and whether the bonded teeth are subjected to excessive stress.

  • How should I care for my tooth bridge?

    To care for your tooth bridge, practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean around the bridge and avoid sticky or hard foods that could damage it. Regular dental check-ups are also important to ensure the bridge remains in good condition.
