What is a dental bridge

1. What is a dental bridge? Your dentist can use dental bridges to fill up any gaps in your smile caused by broken teeth. A crown, the fake tooth used in dental bridges, is held in place by the teeth on either side of the gap. Pontics are often made from glass to clearly mix in with your natural teeth, though they can also be made of other materials, like gold. Types of dental bridges: Dental bridges come in four different categories: Traditional Cantilever Maryland Implant-Supported

2. A traditional dental bridge A normal dental bridge consists of dental crowns that have been attached to each of the tooth structures, which hold the fake tooth or teeth in place. The most common type of dental bridge is the classic bridge, which can be used when you still have healthy teeth on either side of the gap left by your lost tooth. Dental bridge with a cantilever Steel or concrete dental bridges are similar to normal bridges in that only one side tooth works as the foundation for the dental crown, which is fixed in place by a dental crown. You just need one healthy tooth next to the gap left by the lost tooth to support a t-shaped bridge. Dental bridge in Maryland Dental bridges made in Maryland need two healthy abutment teeth—one on either side of the gap—just like a normal bridge does. A Maryland bridge, on the other hand, uses a framework of either metal or glass that is bonded onto the backs of the teeth, while a normal bridge puts dental crowns on the abutment teeth.

3. A Maryland bridge, like a normal bridge, is only a choice if there is a natural tooth on either side of the gap left by the lost tooth or teeth. An implant-supported dental bridge As the title says, dental implants are used to support bridges rather than frameworks or crowns. For every lost tooth, a crown is sometimes implanted, and this crown keeps the bridge in place. If it is not possible to place one implant for each lost tooth, the bridge may come in the form of a pontic hanging between two implant-supported crowns. Why do I need a dental bridge? Having a missing tooth or teeth can have a variety of effects on you. A dental bridge can take care of those changes, such as: Showing your smile back Regaining the necessary chewing muscle Regain your speech and accent, while keeping your face in its natural shape.
