Dental Bridge
It isusually made up of two or more crowns that are placed on the natural teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth in between. The false tooth, or pontic, can be made of various materials such as porcelain, gold,commonly made of porcelain or ceramic and is permanently attached to the adjacent teeth using dental crowns or by bonding the bridge to the natural teeth.
There are different types of dental bridges, including traditional, cantilever, and Maryland bridges, which vary in design and the way they are anchored to the adjacent teeth. Before getting a dental bridge, a thorough dental examination and treatment planning are necessary to determine the suitability of the patient, the type of bridge needed, and the treatment process.
Dental bridges are an effective solution for those who have lost one or more teeth, as they can restore the appearance and function of the mouth, improve speech, and prevent further dental problems. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups are essential to maintain the longevity of the dental bridge and preserve the health of the remaining teeth.
