What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It usually includes an artificial tooth, known as a pontic, that fills the space left by the missing tooth.

Depending on the type of bridge, the pontic may be supported by:

  • Natural teeth
  • Dental crowns
  • Dental implants

How Does Dental Bridge Treatment Work?

STEP 1

Consultation and Examination

Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. X-rays or digital scans may be used to assess the area and determine whether a bridge is suitable for you.

Your dentist will also discuss your treatment goals and explain the available options.
STEP 2

Preparing the Supporting Teeth

If youare getting a traditional bridge, the teeth beside the gap may need reshaping. This creates space for the crowns that will support the bridge.

If the supporting teeth are damaged or weakened, crowns may also help protect and strengthen them.

STEP 3

Taking Impressions or Digital Scans

Your dentist will take impressions or digital scans of your teeth. This information is used to design a customized bridge that fits comfortably and matches the colour, shape, and appearance of your natural teeth.
STEP 4

Placing a Temporary Restoration

In some cases, we may place a temporary bridge or restoration while your permanent bridge is being made. This helps protect the prepared teeth and maintain your smile.

STEP 5

Fitting and Securing the Bridge

Once the permanent bridge is ready, your dentist will check its fit, appearance, and bite. Any necessary adjustments will be made before the bridge is securely bonded into place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?

A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth and may use crowns on neighbouring teeth for support.

Does getting a dental bridge hurt?

The procedure is performed using local anaesthetic to help keep you comfortable. Some sensitivity or mild soreness may occur after treatment, but this is usually temporary.

How many teeth can a dental bridge replace?

A dental bridge can replace one or more missing teeth, depending on the location of the gap and the strength of the supporting teeth or implants. Your dentist will determine the most suitable design for your needs.

Can a dental bridge look natural?

Yes. Dental bridges are customized to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth. When properly designed and placed, they can blend naturally with your smile.

Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?

Most patients can eat normally once they adjust to their bridge. It is best to follow your dentist’s instructions and avoid very hard or sticky foods that could damage the restoration.

How do I clean under a dental bridge?

You can clean beneath the artificial tooth using a floss threader, interdental brush, or specialized bridge-cleaning tool. Your dental team can demonstrate the best technique for your restoration.

What happens if my dental bridge becomes loose?

A loose bridge should be assessed by a dentist as soon as possible. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and do not attempt to permanently reattach the bridge yourself.
