Dental bridge

When Should A Dental Bridge Be Applied?

Dental bridges are used to replace a missing tooth with a substitute that is supported on neighbouring teeth. To prepare a dental bridge, the neighbouring teeth must be polished and bound together with a unitary structure in order for them to carry the replacement for the missing tooth.

Indications:

  • In the event that neighbouring teeth are also damaged or they must be improved aesthetically.
  • The patient cannot have an implant.

What should be taken into account in case of dental bridges?

  • Because dental bridges are structures joining two crowns, they have the same nuances that dental crowns do.
  • In the event of dental bridges, however, the small gap that remains underneath the restored tooth that may start collecting food should be taken into consideration.
  • Supporting teeth also carry more strain, because they are blocked together and cannot function as required physiologically. This causes a greater risk for problems with supporting teeth.
  • If at all possible, each tooth should be restored separately, i.e. an implant should be applied for each defect.
  • Price of a dental bridges depends on the number of dental crowns applied for the bridge.
