A fixed bridge is a durable dental appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored securely on either side by crowns placed on the natural teeth or implants. This appliance is non-removable, offering a permanent solution to tooth loss.
Restores Your Smile: Bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, restoring the natural look of your smile.
Improves Chewing and Speaking: Replacing missing teeth helps maintain normal chewing and speaking, which can be affected by gaps in your smile.
Prevents Teeth Shifting: A bridge stabilizes the remaining teeth, preventing them from shifting out of place, which could lead to further dental issues.
Maintains Face Shape: By preventing the shifting of teeth, bridges also help maintain the natural shape of your face.
Fixed bridges are an effective and reliable way to replace missing teeth. They provide a natural-looking, stable, and long-lasting solution. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to injury, decay, or any other reason, a bridge can help restore both the function and appearance of your teeth.
The process of getting a fixed bridge typically involves two main appointments. During the first visit, the teeth next to the missing tooth (or teeth) are prepared for crowns and an impression of your teeth is taken to create the custom bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent bridge is being crafted. In the second visit, your permanent bridge is carefully fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
