They say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

The same may apply to your smile. One missing tooth can impact your entire smile, confidence and dental health. Are you missing one or two teeth? Has the dentist recommended a tooth extraction, leaving you wondering how to replace it? Dental bridges in Idle are a reliable and effective way to restore and maintain a healthy smile.

What are dental bridges?

Dental bridges literally ‘bridge’ the area left by missing teeth or teeth. It is a custom-made, conjoined row of three or more dental crowns; the crowns replacing missing spaces are known as ‘pontics’ and the supporting dental crowns placed on healthy natural teeth are called the ‘retainers.’

They guarantee you can chew, talk, and smile confidently by restoring the beauty and functionality of your smile.

The types of dental bridges

Dental bridges have many varieties. Dental bridges in Idle offer many options to suit your unique needs. Here are the different dental bridge types:

The benefits of dental bridges

A dental bridge provides more than just a complete smile.

Restores function

Dental bridges make eating and speaking easier, allowing you to enjoy a variety of foods.

Prevents shifting of teeth

When a tooth is missing, the adjacent teeth may drift into the gap. This can disrupt normal biting and jaw movements. A dental bridge maintains proper alignment by filling any gaps in the mouth.

Increases confidence

A full, natural-looking smile can significantly boost your self-esteem.

Supports oral health

Dental bridges promote oral health by evenly distributing bite force, which reduces strain on surrounding teeth and jaw joints.

  • Traditional bridges: These are the most prevalent kinds of dental bridges. They consist of crowns on the neighbouring natural teeth supporting a pontic or dummy tooth/teeth.
  • Cantilever bridges: If you only have one adjacent tooth to support the bridge, a cantilever bridge can effectively close the gap. It has a pontic anchored to dental crowns only on one end. They are common as dental bridges on front teeth.
  • Maryland bonded bridges: Maryland bridges are a more conservative option that uses a framework bonded to the back of adjacent supporting teeth rather than dental crowns. These are ideal dental bridges for front teeth.
  • Implant-supported bridges: These do not involve natural teeth, but instead rely on two or more dental implants to replace missing teeth.

Who can get a dental bridge?

Dental bridges are ideal for the following conditions:

  • Have one or more missing teeth with healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap.
  • You want a long-lasting solution that will allow you to chew and speak normally again.
  • If you are looking for a lower-cost alternative to dental implants for replacing multiple teeth.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get a dental bridge?

The dental bridge procedure is typically two to three appointments. This involves the first consultations, dental appointments for the preparation of the teeth, making the moulds, and placing the temporary bridge. Once the permanent bridge is ready in the dental lab, it will be cemented into place during a follow-up visit.

How much does a dental bridge cost?

The cost of a dental bridge varies greatly depending on the type of bridge, the materials used, and the complexity of the case. Dental insurance may cover all or a portion of the cost, and we also provide flexible payment options for dental bridges.

What should I do if my dental bridge is loose?

If your dental bridge feels loose, please contact us at Taylored Dental Care as soon as possible. In the meantime, do not touch or attempt to adjust the bridge yourself. Avoid chewing with that side of your mouth. If a loose bridge is not repaired right away, it can lead to additional complications.

Nervous about dental bridges? You’re in safe hands

We understand how anxious you can be about dental visits.

It can be intimidating, especially with the sounds of drills, impressions, and patiently sitting in the chair. Here’s how we at Taylored Dental Care make the procedure easy for you:

  • Open communication: We prefer to avoid surprises during the procedure. We will educate you with models and videos while walking you through each step of the process.
  • Gentle techniques: We use only modern tools and techniques, ensuring a precise, comfortable, pain-free experience. We also numb the tooth during the dental bridge procedure, making it relatively painless.
  • Flexible options: If you have extreme anxiety, we can provide you with additional relaxation aids such as sedation.

Custom-designed dental bridges in Idle are the first step to a healthy smile. Call us today to book your appointment.
