As the name suggests, Dental bridges literally bridges the gap caused by missing teeth one or more. A bridge comprises of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. These two anchoring teeth are called abutment (supporting) teeth -- and false tooth/teeth are placed in between. As per our Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.

Bridges can:

Restore your smile

Restore the ability to properly chew and speak

Protects yourtemporomandibular joint

Maintain the shape of your face

Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth

Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position

Restore your confidence

What Is the Process for Getting a Dental Bridge as per our best dentist?

During the first visit for getting a dental bridge, the abutment teeth are prepared. Preparation involves shaping these teeth by removing a portion of enamel to allow space for a crown to be placed over them. Next, impressions of the teeth are made, which serve as a model on which the bridge is fabricated. Your best dentist will make a temporary bridge to wear to protect the exposed teeth and gums while the bridge is being made.

During the subsequent visit, your temporary bridge will be removed and the new porcelain or metal bridge will be checked and adjusted, as necessary, to achieve a proper fit. Multiple visits may be required to check the fit of the metal framework and bite. This is dependent on each individual's case. If the dental bridge is a fixed bridge, your dentist may temporarily cement it in place for a couple of weeks to make sure it is fitting properly. Later on, the bridge is cementedinto place.
