DENTAL BRIDGES
A Modern Solution for a Gap-Free Smile
Imagine your smile as a beautiful piece of artwork.
A missing tooth can disrupt its harmony and leave a noticeable gap. Enter dental bridges, a modern solution that seamlessly fills the void and restores your smile's aesthetic appeal.
How do Bridges work?
Dental bridges are constructed using a combination of crowns and pontics. The crowns are custom-made to fit over the teeth adjacent to the gap, while the pontic (the artificial tooth) bridges the space between them. This creates a bridge-like structure that's both functional and visually pleasing.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Dental bridges can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
Improved Function: Restoring your bite, dental bridges allow you to chew and speak more comfortably.
Durability: Made from high-quality materials, dental bridges are designed to last for many years with proper care.
Minimal Disruption: The bridge-making process typically involves a few appointments, and the final result is often indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges:
Dental bridges have evolved significantly over the years. Today, dentists employ advanced techniques and materials to create bridges that are not only strong but also highly natural-looking. Options include:
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) bridges: A classic choice known for its durability and affordability.
All-ceramic bridges: Offering a more aesthetic appearance with a translucent quality similar to natural teeth.
Zirconia bridges: A strong and durable option with excellent biocompatibility.
