Why Get a Dental Bridge?
Dental Bridge
What is the procedure?
- The dentist examines your teeth, gums, and bite.
- X-rays or scans may be taken to plan the bridge placement.
- For traditional bridges, the adjacent teeth are reshaped to fit dental crowns.
- Impressions are taken to create a custom bridge.
A temporary bridge may be placed while the permanent one is being made.
- The custom bridge is cemented into place.
- The dentist checks the fit, bite, and comfort before finalizing.
A well-maintained dental bridge can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care.
✅ Brush & floss daily, including under the bridge.
✅ Use a floss threader or water flosser to clean hard-to-reach areas.
✅ Avoid chewing on very hard foods or ice.
✅ Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings.
The whole procedure usually takes 60-90 minutes and is painless, though some people may feel slight discomfort, especially if they have sensitive teeth or a lot of tartar buildup.
