A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, called pontics, which are anchored to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants to fill the gap and restore functionality and aesthetics to your smile.
With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or even longer. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding hard foods and habits that put stress on the bridge, like biting hard objects, can help prolong the life of your dental bridge.
No, dental bridges are not removable; they are fixed in place and can only be removed by a dentist. Unlike dentures, which are taken out daily, dental bridges provide a stable and permanent replacement for missing teeth.
Caring for a dental bridge is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss carefully around the bridge, and use an antibacterial mouthwash. Our friendly dentists can help teach you how to floss and clean under the bridge. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Officer Smiles are essential to maintaining the health of your bridge and surrounding teeth.
Anyone with one or more missing teeth who has healthy surrounding teeth or dental implants may be a good candidate for a dental bridge. During a consultation, our team at Officer Smiles will assess your dental health to determine if a bridge is right for you.
The process typically involves two main visits:
1. Preparation: The adjacent teeth are prepared, and a digital impression is taken and sent to the ceramist to create a custom bridge. Fabrication takes 2 weeks; in the meantime you will wear a temporary bridge to protect the prepared teeth.
2. Placement: Once the bridge is ready, it is securely attached to the prepared teeth or implants, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
No, dental bridges are designed to blend in with your natural teeth. At Officer Smiles, we match the color and shape of the bridge to your existing teeth for a seamless, natural look. Most people won’t be able to tell you have a bridge!
The cost of a dental bridge depends on the type of bridge, its material and how many units of teeth it is replacing. At Officer Smiles, the cost per unit of the dental bridge starts from $1290. We offer flexible payment plans and instalments that make treatment accessible and affordable to everyone.
