Bridges

 

Bridges :



A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap -- these two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth -- and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials

What is better bridge or implant?

If you're missing more than one consecutive tooth, a dental bridge is likely a better option than an implant. A separate implant needs to be surgically attached to your jawbone for each missing tooth, leading to expensive and often impractical surgery.

Are dental bridges permanent?

dental bridge is a fixed (permanent) restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth in your mouth. Dental bridges mimic the look, shape, and function of natural teeth. They are also custom-made for every patient. In more serious cases, a patient may need multiple dental bridges

Is bridging of teeth painful?


The bridge procedure is not painful because a local anesthetic is used while paring your teeth and when our dentist takes an impression. It is often unnecessary to take an analgesic for pain relief after the treatment

Can a dental bridge be done in one day?

With one-day procedures, you have your teeth taken out, dental implants put in, and a temporary bridge fitted over the course of an entire day. Swelling that results from oral surgery doesn't decrease before the temporary bridge is put in.

Types Of Implant Crowns
An implant crown is a dental cap that is placed on the external-facing side of an implant. These devices are used to replace missing teeth. Getting implants is a surgical procedure that can take months to complete, but it is considered to be the best way to replace missing teeth.
