What is a Dental bridge?

Missing teeth can dramatically change the shape of your face and teeth alignment. They also badly influence your speaking, chewing and biting abilities. Dental bridges can help you solve these problems by bridging the gap with artificial teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth that is held in place and supported by the teeth on either side of the gap. Typically they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth.

Frequently asked questions

+ How long will the porcelain bridge last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, the average amount of time that many dental bridges last is between five to seven years.

+ Can I get a cavity on a tooth with a crown?

Yes. A dental bridge is more difficult to clean than your natural teeth. When plaque forms at the base of the tooth near the gumline, it can seep into the junction point between the crown and the natural tooth. If this is not removed, decay can occur and can spread to the root. Therefore it's very important to regularly brush and floss, as well as attend regular dentist appointments to avoid potential problems.

+ Can a tooth under the bridge go bad?

Yes. This usually happens because of gum infection. In cases of severe infection, the bridge will need to be removed to treat the infected tooth.

+ Can a dental bridge cause a bad smell?

It is not the bridge that causes the bad smell, but bacteria within it. When you have a bridge, there are small gaps left between the gum line and the crown where the food might collect, creating favorable conditions for bacteria generation. So, clean your crowns properly at the gum line, use floss and rinse your mouth after each meal. Don’t miss your check-up meetings and professional cleanings.
