What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth by anchoring false teeth to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. The teeth on either side of the gap, called abutment teeth, serve as anchors to hold the bridge in place. A bridge typically includes two dental crowns and one or more pontics (false teeth), all custom-made to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth. Depending on your situation, bridges can be permanent bridges or removable bridges. They not only restore the appearance of your smile but also support your ability to bite properly, speak and chew comfortably.

Is a Dental Bridge the right choice?

Facing a need for extensive dental work, such as a dental bridge to replace a missing tooth or teeth can be an overwhelming experience. The Goldstein Dental Center team is here to help make the process as comfortable and customized as possible. Besides the aesthetic disadvantage of missing a tooth, it is important to replace missing teeth to avoid shifting of surrounding teeth, which may lead to misaligned bite, TMJ and other problems.

If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth in a row, we may recommend a dental bridge to restore your smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration, meaning it is non-removable. The dental bridge is anchored in place through the use of two dental crowns, which are custom made to fit your smile and are placed on the teeth or dental implants next to the space left by the missing tooth. These crowns hold the artificial tooth in place to restore your smile, ensuring that your restoration will not easily shift or come loose. It typically requires only two visits to our practice to complete a dental bridge. Dental bridges are designed to last for many years and to restore the function, beauty, and health of your smile.

Our dentist may recommend a dental bridge to improve your smile by:

  • Restoring your ability to speak, eat and chew normally
  • Alleviating excess stress on the bite
  • Improving the shape and volume of your face
  • Replacing an unwanted removable partial denture
  • Preventing the remaining natural teeth from moving out of position
  • Enhancing the appearance of your smile

Together, through in-depth assessment and conversation about your desired results, we can determine whether a custom dental bridge is the best choice for restoring your smile.

What is a “Traditional” or “Fixed” Bridge?

The “traditional bridge” is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal.  This type of bridge consists to two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years, however they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.

Reasons for a fixed bridge:

  • Fill space of missing teeth.
  • Maintain facial shape.
  • Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
  • Restore chewing and speaking ability.
  • Restore your smile.
  • Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance.

What does getting a fixed bridge involve?

Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits.  While the teeth are numb, the two anchoring teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown.  Next, a highly accurate impression (mold) is made which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated.  In addition, a temporary bridge will be made and worn for several weeks until your next appointment.

At the second visit, you permanent bridge will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented to achieve a proper fit.  Occasionally your dentist may only temporarily cement the bridge, allowing your teeth and tissue time to get used to the new bridge.  The new bridge will be permanently cemented at a later time.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Choosing dental bridges in Atlanta at Goldstein Dental Center means investing in both your appearance and dental health. Bridges are custom-made for a natural fit and function, blending in with your remaining teeth. They distribute the force of your bite evenly, reduce the risk of other teeth shifting and help you eat and speak maintain.

Benefits of Dental Bridges:

  • Get Your Smile Back
    A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, gets your full and natural-looking smile back. Many patients feel more confident after treatment.
  • Chew and Speak Properly
    Missing teeth can make it hard to chew or pronounce words clearly. Bridges restore these essential functions so you can enjoy your favorite food and communicate with ease.
  • Prevent Teeth From Shifting
    When a tooth is lost, nearby natural teeth may start to drift into the empty space. A bridge keeps other teeth in their correct position, maintains the alignment of your bite.
  • Maintain Facial Structure
    Gaps in your smile can affect your face over time. A bridge helps your face distribute pressure evenly and maintain its natural shape.
  • Improve Oral Health
    Replacing missing teeth with a bridge supports better oral health by making it easier to clean your teeth and gums, reduces the risk of dental work complications down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are bridges better than implants?

Both are excellent treatment options for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants are placed into the jawbone, while bridges use adjacent teeth for support. We’ll help you choose the right option based on your goals and needs.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the dental bridge procedure. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to keep you comfortable. After treatment, any sensitivity usually fades quickly.

Can I eat normally with a bridge?

Yes! Once your permanent bridge is placed, you can eat most of your favorite foods again. Bridges help you bite properly and chew efficiently, improving your daily quality of life.

What if I need a tooth pulled first?

If tooth extractions are needed, we’ll schedule them as part of your treatment plan. After healing, we’ll proceed with your dental bridge to restore the gap. Our team ensures the process flows smoothly from start to finish.

How long do dental bridges last?

Dental bridges can last between 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care, including good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups. The longevity of your bridge will depend on factors such as your bite, diet, and maintenance routine.

Are dental bridges removable?

Traditional dental bridges are fixed in place and cannot be removed. They are bonded securely to your adjacent teeth or implants. However, there are removable bridge options known as partial dentures, which function differently.

How long will results from cosmetic or restorative procedures last?

The answer depends on what you have done. Teeth whitening, for instance, will need to be done again when results start to fade. Dental implants, on the other hand, can last indefinitely. The longevity of dental bridges, inlays, overlays, veneers, and crowns will vary based on your diet, oral hygiene habits, and similar factors.
