What Are Dental Bridges?dental bridges in Carson City

A dental bridge is used to restore or permanently replace one or more missing teeth. Although dental bridges are considered cosmetic, they also greatly improve dental functionality for patients and help to prevent future dental problems, including tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Dental bridges are designed to look, feel and function just like natural teeth.

How Does a Dental Bridge Work?

There are three parts to a dental bridge: a pontic (false) tooth or teeth to cover the empty space, and two abutments (support) teeth. In general, dental bridges consist of a pontic tooth or teeth adhered to two crowns. The crowns are anchored to two healthy teeth, creating a bridge of false teeth that sit above the gums. This allows a patient to replace more than one missing tooth with a single dental bridge.

Am I a Good Candidate For a Dental Bridge?

If you have missing teeth, you may be a perfect candidate for a dental bridge. However, the most ideal patients will have:

  • Teeth are in good condition
  • Two abutment teeth are not severely decayed or damaged
  • No more than three consecutive missing teeth
  • No gum disease
  • Healthy oral hygiene habits
  • Good jawbone density

Dental Bridge Treatment Process

A dental bridge starts with the abutment. This involves creating crowns for the anchor teeth on either side of the missing teeth. After your Carson City dentist administers local anesthesia, they will thoroughly prep these teeth to become supports for the bridge, which involves reducing the size of the abutments to fit the pontic teeth.

Your dentist will then get an impression of the adjacent teeth, which is sent to a lab to create the final dental bridge. You will be fitted with a temporary bridge while the lab completes your final bridge so your prepped teeth are protected from damage. Once the final bridge is complete, you will return to your Absolute Dental office to remove the temporary bridge and fit and cement your permanent bridge. For resin-bonded dental bridges, the abutment teeth are bonded to the pontic with metal bands.

Things to Consider With Dental Bridges

  • Dental bridges are permanent. If you are uncomfortable with this idea, you might want to consider removable restorative components, such as partial dentures.
  • If you practice good oral hygiene and visit your dentist for regular checkups, your dental bridges can last a decade or more.
  • It may take some time to fully adjust to your dental bridge.
