Frequently asked Questions
We’ve answered some of the most common questions about this treatment to help you feel informed and confident. If you have a question that isn’t covered here, please get in touch with our team.
What is a dental bridge and why would I need one?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It "bridges the gap" by anchoring an artificial tooth (called a pontic) to dental crowns that are placed on the natural teeth on either side of the gap. You might need a dental bridge to restore your smile, improve your ability to chew and speak, prevent remaining teeth from shifting into the empty space, and maintain the shape of your face.
What is the process for getting a dental bridge?
Getting a traditional dental bridge typically requires at least two appointments. In the first visit, the dentist will prepare the natural teeth on either side of the gap by reshaping them so the crowns can fit over them. They will then take an impression of your teeth to send to a dental lab, which will create your custom bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth while you wait. In the second visit, the dentist will check the fit and comfort of the permanent bridge before cementing it into place.
How long do dental bridges last and how should I care for them?
With proper care, a dental bridge can last 5 to 15 years or even longer. To ensure its longevity, it's crucial to maintain excellent oral hygiene. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily, paying special attention to cleaning under the bridge. Your dentist may recommend using a floss threader or an interdental brush to clean this area effectively. Regular dental check-ups are also essential to monitor the health of the bridge and the supporting teeth.
