What Are Dental Bridges?

Before we get into the details, it’s important to note that missing teeth is a serious dental issue that leads to unpleasant outcomes if left untreated. After losing a tooth, the surrounding teeth start shifting into the empty space, leading to misalignment and bite problems. If you’re missing teeth you should expect to face a multitude of dental issues including chewing and speech difficulties, bone loss, an increased risk of gum disease, and last but not least, an unappealing smile. 

A dental bridge is a reliable and permanent solution to bring back life to the vacant space between your teeth. Basically, a dental bridge consists of two crowns and an artificial tooth (pontic) between them. The teeth on both sides of the gap need to be contoured to a certain pointy shape before placing the crowns on them, while the pontic simply slides into the space left by the missing tooth. 

If you’re looking to get a dental bridge in Dubai, you should consider that teeth bridges can be made from a variety of materials such as composite, ceramic, and gold. However, choosing porcelain over these materials is favored since it aesthetically blends in with your natural teeth and goes almost unnoticed. You can trust Swedish Dental Clinic to provide you with the most suitable dental crowns in Dubai to achieve the natural appeal your teeth deserve.

Although it can take multiple visits to get a dental bridge in Dubai, our professional dentists are up to the task of making the procedure as seamless as it can be.

Benefits

Teeth bridges are among many dental treatments that offer incredible benefits; they can: 

  • Replace the missing tooth or teeth while simultaneously maintaining a natural look.
  • Restore the ability to speak normally, as missing teeth produce pronunciation difficulties.
  • Help you chew food better and gradually get rid of chewing problems
  • Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting into the gaps, which could cause bite problems and other complications
  • Maintain the shape of your face and avoid jawbone deterioration

Types of Dental Bridges

There are four unique types of dental bridges, each type serves a different purpose than the other. The position of the missing tooth, the severity of the patient’s case, and the condition of the neighboring teeth are all taken into account when choosing what type of dental bridge to install.

Before learning about the types of dental bridges, there are two terms you need to be familiar with:

  • Abutments: are the structures that support your dental bridge. While the term often refers to natural teeth, it can also refer to tiny connector posts used in dental implant-supported bridges.
  • Pontics: are the artificial artificial teeth that fill in the gap left behind by missing teeth.

As for the types: 

  • 1. Traditional Dental Bridge:  This is the most common type of dental bridge. In preparation, the dentist starts to remove some of the enamel and dentin from the abutment teeth to make room for the crowns. Afterward, the dentist places a temporary bridge over those teeth to protect them until the bridge is placed. During a second appointment, the temporary crowns are removed and a permanent bridge is cemented in place. Your dentist will recommend this type of dental bridge when you have healthy, natural teeth on both sides of the gap.
  • 2. Cantilever Dental Bridge: Cantilever bridges are very similar to traditional bridges with one main difference; there’s only one crown on one end, not both. As a result, the pontic hangs over or extends across the gap after the bridge is bonded onto your abutment tooth. This type of dental bridge is used by dentists when you only have natural teeth on one side of the gap. However, Cantilever bridges aren’t common anymore. This is due to them being weaker than traditional bridges and too delicate to handle the bite pressure if they’re placed in the back of the mouth. 
  • 3. Maryland Dental Bridge:  Contrary to its counterparts, Maryland bridges utilize metal or porcelain wings instead of crowns to secure your bridge. These wings bond to your abutments on both sides of the gap and firmly hold the bridge in place. Typically, Maryland dental bridges are only used to replace front teeth due to their inability to withstand the chewing forces of back teeth. 
  • 4. Implant-Supported Bridges: They’re similar to traditional dental bridges, but when a dentist applies an implant-supported bridge, he refrains from using crowns and opts for implants instead. Dental implants are small threaded posts that replace missing teeth roots, and our clinic provides state-of-the-art dental implants in Dubai. The dental implants must integrate with your jawbone before attaching a bridge onto them; this process usually takes between 3 to 6 months, but it can take longer depending on your situation. Implant-supported bridges are used when you have three or more missing teeth in a row.

Moreover, there are several factors that your dentist will consider when determining what type of bridge you need: 

  1. Your age.
  2. The number of teeth you’re missing.
  3. The size of the gap.
  4. The condition of the neighboring teeth.
  5. The overall health of your teeth and gums.
  6. Your personal preferences.

The Methods for Taking Care of Your Dental Bridge

It is important to keep the remaining teeth healthy and strong as the success of the bridge counts on the solid foundation offered by the surrounding teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene is pivotal if you wish for your bridge to last as long as possible.

There are various methods by which you can prolong the lifespan of your dental bridge, such as:

  1. Daily brushing and flossing.
  2. Avoiding extremely hard or chewy food.
  3. Using a nonabrasive fluoride toothpaste.
  4. Refraining from chewing ice, pens, or fingernails.
  5. Visiting your dentist for regular checkups and cleaning.
  6. Cleaning underneath your bridge every day using floss threads or interproximal brushes (tiny brushes made to go between your teeth).

The best way to get the most out of your dental bridge is to take care of it. If you need advice on how to preserve your dental bridge in Dubai, feel free to contact us and learn more about how we specialize in 3D-guided implant surgery in Dubai.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bridges

What type of dentist is best for bridges?

Dental bridges are best applied by a prosthodontist, a dentist specializing in replacing and restoring damaged or missing teeth. A prosthodontist trains for almost 3 years after dental school, gaining enough expertise to create and place bridges effectively.

Will it be difficult to eat with a dental bridge?

Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge should actually make eating easier. Until you become accustomed to the bridge, eat soft foods that have been cut into small pieces.

How long do dental bridges last?

On average, the life expectancy of dental bridges ranges from 5 to 20 years. Some can even last longer and are referred to as permanent bridges (permanent in the sense that only a dentist can remove them). Ultimately, it comes down to the amount of care and maintenance a patient dedicates.

What are the benefits of dental bridges?

Replace missing teeth while preserving a natural look. Additionally, it prevents dental issues caused by a missing tooth, such as chewing, speech, and bite problems.

What are the potential complications of dental bridges?

Ill-fitted bridges can lead to gum irritation and inflammation; which causes discomfort, bleeding, and gum disease. This can be diverted by regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleaning.
