Dental Bridges In Newcastle

What are dental bridges?

Dental bridges are one of the most commonly used alternatives in restorative dentistry to replace missing teeth and restore both aesthetics and functionality to the patient. This type of fixed prosthesis consists of a set of crowns joined together, designed to fill the space of one or more missing teeth in the same arch.
The structure is supported by the adjacent teeth, known as abutments, to which the crowns at the ends of the bridge are attached. The central crowns, meanwhile, serve to replace the missing teeth. In this way, the bridge covers the existing gaps, restores the smile and prevents complications arising from tooth loss.
Usually made of porcelain, bridges offer a very similar appearance to natural teeth, making them a highly aesthetic as well as functional option.

Are dental bridges right for me?

If you have lost one or more adjacent teeth and are looking for a fixed, stable and aesthetic solution, dental bridges may be the ideal treatment. They are particularly suitable for:
Replacing several teeth in a row in the same arch.
Preventing bite problems: by filling the empty space, neighbouring teeth are prevented from moving and causing crowding or malocclusion problems. It also prevents the teeth opposite the empty space from extruding (moving out of the bone that supports them).
Restoring chewing ability: they allow you to regain lost functionality when eating, improving digestion and overall health.
Improving phonetics: they contribute to correct pronunciation, which can be altered by missing teeth.
Protect bone health: by stimulating the edentulous area, they help to stop the progressive loss of jawbone.
Increase confidence: by improving facial and dental aesthetics, they increase the patient’s confidence when smiling and speaking.
In short, if you are looking for a fixed prosthesis that combines aesthetics, strength and functionality, dental bridges are a reliable alternative.

Step-by-step process

Treatment with dental bridges is carried out in several carefully planned stages:
Initial assessment: the dentist examines the health of the gums and supporting teeth, ensuring that there is no tooth decay or periodontal disease before placing the bridge.
Preparation of the abutment teeth: in most cases, root canal treatment is performed on the teeth that will serve as supports. They are then carved down to reduce their size and create enough space for the bridge.
Impression taking: a mould of the mouth is obtained or a digital impression is made and sent to the dental laboratory to manufacture a custom-made bridge.
Temporary placement: while the permanent bridge is being prepared, a temporary one is placed to maintain aesthetics and protect the prepared teeth.
Placement of the permanent bridge: once manufactured, it is fixed to the abutment teeth with a special cement, checking its fit, comfort and functionality.
It is essential that this procedure is performed by an experienced professional, as a poor fit could lead to food debris accumulation, gum irritation or even periodontal disease.

Types of dental bridges

There are several types of dental bridges, each tailored to the needs of each patient. Among them we can mention:
-Traditional bridge: this is the most common type. It requires filing down the adjacent teeth to use them as support pillars. Although it involves a permanent reduction in the size of the adjacent teeth, it guarantees a solid fixation and excellent functionality.
-Maryland bridge: characterised by a metal structure at the back of the prosthetic tooth, which is attached to the adjacent teeth. It is less invasive, as it does not require the adjacent teeth to be filed down, but it is only suitable for replacing one tooth. One disadvantage is that the metal can cause staining on the supporting teeth.
-Cantilever bridge: this is supported solely by a pillar tooth on one side of the empty space. It is often used as a temporary solution while a permanent bridge is being made.
Each type of bridge has advantages and limitations, so the choice will depend on the patient’s oral condition, their preferences and the specialist’s criteria.

Costs of dental bridges

The price of a dental bridge can vary depending on the number of teeth to be replaced and the type of bridge selected. It generally ranges from £900 to £2,000. It depends largely on the type of bridge chosen, the material used, the number of teeth to be replaced, etc.
Although dental implants are another option for replacing missing teeth, bridges are often a more economical and accessible alternative, especially for patients seeking a fixed solution without incurring a higher cost.
In addition, when properly cared for, dental bridges can last between 5 and 10 years, maintaining their aesthetics and functionality.
