Dental Bridges Esh Winning

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are a type of fixed prosthetic treatment designed to replace multiple missing teeth seamlessly. Comprising a series of connected dental crowns, they bridge the gaps in your smile, providing both natural-looking aesthetics and exceptional functionality.

These versatile solutions are made from various materials, including ceramics, metals, and porcelain, ensuring a customised approach to restore dental function and enhance your overall oral health.

Why Choose Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges have many benefits:

  • Aesthetic Improvement: They enhance your smile with a natural look.
  • Comprehensive Restoration: Replace several missing teeth with a single solution.
  • Enhanced Functionality: Improve your ability to speak and chew effectively.
  • Structural Support: Preserve facial structure and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.
  • Comfort: Their fixed design offers superior comfort compared to removable options.
  • Durability: With proper care, dental bridges can remain in excellent condition for many years.

While dental bridges may eventually need replacement, they offer long-lasting results with the appropriate home care and maintenance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bridges?

Our ideal candidates are individuals with healthy or restorable teeth and sufficient bone structure around the gaps. Dental bridges are effective for replacing one or multiple missing teeth. 

However, to fit a dental bridge, we have to perform some tooth preparation and enamel reduction to accommodate your new bridge material.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

  • Conventional Bridges

Traditional bridges are the most widely used type of dental bridge for front and back teeth due to their versatility and cost-effectiveness. They consist of crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap, which support the artificial teeth, known as pontics, positioned in between. 

  • Cantilever Bridges

Cantilever bridges are a specialised option used when there are healthy teeth only on one side of the gap. This type of bridge is anchored by these adjacent teeth, with the pontic extending from a single end. Although less common, they are often used for gaps in the back of the mouth under specific conditions.

  • Maryland Bonded Bridges

Maryland bonded bridges are a cosmetic solution designed to replace a single missing front tooth. They feature a ceramic or porcelain framework that adheres to the back of the adjacent teeth, requiring minimal preparation and offering outstanding aesthetic results. 

  • Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges are an alternative that utilises dental implants to support the bridge instead of relying on natural teeth. They function similarly to traditional bridges but offer the benefits of preserving your remaining natural teeth. It provides a durable and reliable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth, ensuring stability and longevity after the implant procedure.

Choosing the Right Dental Bridges for You

Eligibility Criteria for Dental Bridges

Choosing the right dental bridge involves detailed evaluation and personalised treatment planning by our specialists. Several factors play an essential role in determining the most suitable option:

  • Durability: Consider the longevity of different bridge types.
  • Gap Location and Size: The position and extent of the gap influence the type of bridge.
  • Medical Conditions and Allergies: These may affect material selection and treatment eligibility.
  • Cost and Budget: Your financial considerations are crucial to determining your bridge.
  • Material Preferences: Options include ceramics, porcelain, lithium desilicate, zirconium, and metal alloys.
  • Aesthetic Goals: The desired appearance will impact material and design choices.
  • Condition of Remaining Teeth: The health of your adjacent teeth is crucial for bridge placement.

Dental bridge procedures often involve multiple steps and appointments, requiring a commitment to achieve the best results. However, our personalised treatment plans ensure that the solution is tailored to your needs for effective and functional results.

Additionally, some conditions or systemic diseases might limit some options, like implant-supported bridges or cantilever bridges.

Cost

Understanding the Cost of Dental Bridges

The cost of dental bridges can vary significantly based on several factors:

  • Number of Missing Teeth: The more teeth that require replacement, the higher the cost.
  • Material Choices: Different materials, such as ceramic, porcelain, or zirconium, influence the price.
  • Additional Procedures: If you require preparatory work, such as dental posts, bone grafts, or root canals, the final cost may increase.
  • Condition of Remaining Teeth: The health and condition of adjacent teeth affect the overall expense.

Although dental bridges can be a significant investment, they offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to other dental solutions, providing long-lasting functionality and excellent cosmetic results.

Dental Bridge Procedure

  • Initial Consultation: During this phase, our specialist conducts a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, 3D imaging, and a complete oral assessment. This helps develop a tailored treatment plan and treat the base oral condition to proceed with the prosthetic treatment. 
  • Preparation and Fabrication: After performing the necessary preparatory procedures, we prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel under local anaesthesia. We then take detailed dental impressions and send them to our lab for custom fabrication.
  • Temporary Bridge Placement: While your permanent bridge is being made, we place a temporary bridge and secure it with provisional cement. This temporary bridge allows us to assess its performance and identify potential issues. 
  • Fitting and Cementing: Once your final bridge is ready, we conduct several fitting tests to ensure proper adaptation. We then secure the bridge in place using specialised sealing cement.
  • Aftercare and home care: Finally, to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your bridge, you must maintain excellent oral hygiene. Also, you may need specialised home care tools to enhance your routine and prevent complications.

Is the procedure painful?

A mild anaesthetic is usually required to numb the surrounding area before treatment. Teeth may be extra sensitive initially after treatment, in which case using sensitive toothpaste may help. Your dentist will advise you on the best course of action.

How long does bridge treatment take?

Two appointments are generally required for the fitting of a dental bridge. In the first, the temporary bridge will be fitted and the surrounding teeth prepared. An impression will be made so that the bridge can be made in a laboratory. Once the permanent bridge has been made it can then be fitted in the second appointment. The bridge may not be permanently cemented at once and extra visits may be required so that the fit is correct, but generally they only take two visits.

Advantages of dental bridges

The bridges look natural in the mouth and fit in beautifully with the rest of the teeth. They also only require two visits to the dentist and so do not take up a lot of time. Another advantage is that they last for a long time if looked after well and their life span is between 5 and ten years. They improve a great deal of issues that missing teeth create such as appearance, bite function and speech.

Disadvantages of dental bridges

For a few weeks after treatment the teeth can be extra sensitive to hot and cold, but this should only be temporary. Teeth on either side of the gap need to be healthy so that they can be treated and prepared. There is also an increased risk of gum disease and oral infection if a high standard of oral hygiene is not maintained.
