Structure of the bridge
Components of Dental Bridges
This artificial tooth or teeth bridges the gap and is bonded to the crowns. Pontic can be constructed using a variety of materials, including porcelain, metal alloys, gold, or a mix of these materials, however, they are often made of porcelain to reflect your actual teeth more accurately.
Two crowns will be affixed to the teeth on either side of the gap by our team of dental specialists. Dental implants or your natural teeth may serve as these supporting teeth. Crowns that are placed on the abutment teeth are commonly referred to as retainers.
In a general sense, a dental bridge, which can be used to replace one or more missing teeth, is made up of two or more permanent crowns that are secured on either side of the missing tooth in the mouth. The artificial tooth or teeth used for this restoration is called a pontic. The pontic that closes the gap and is cemented in place is held by the bridge.
We are aware that dental bridges help bridge the space left by a lost tooth or teeth, but how can you tell whether you require one? These dental crowns and bridges, also known as dental implants, are frequently suggested by dentists to patients who have extensive tooth decay, severe gum disease, or damaged natural teeth. These bridges aren’t just for replacing broken teeth; they can also be utilized for aesthetic purposes.

Types of Dental Bridges
The maintenance of traditional bridges often calls for good oral hygiene. If the patient fails to preserve their oral health, then the teeth on both sides of the dental bridges, and underneath them, will be prone to the risk of tooth decay and gum diseases. Hence, our general dentists recommend you get your dental bridge work done, should you require it. In cosmetic dentistry, there are different types of dental bridges that we offer, they are:
Cantilever Bridge
In this bridge type, the pontic is attached to just one abutment tooth. This is a viable dental bridge treatment option for those with teeth solely on one side of the gap. Cantilever bridges help to conceal exposed dentin to prevent tooth sensitivity.
Implanted Bridge
Under these bridge types, dental implants are used to support the missing tooth/teeth, as opposed to dental crowns. Here, using the surgical method one dental implant is positioned in the place of every missing tooth.
Temporary Bridge
Temporary bridges are used as short-term dental implants until the dentist has developed a solution for a permanent restoration. These bridges are used to prevent food or bacteria from collecting the gap or to prevent the shifting of the tooth.
