General information
Dental Bridge is false teeth which can fill a gap and improve the bite and the appearance.
Dental Bridge must have natural teeth for its support. Dental Bridge is placed in between natural teeth where there is a gap.
Dental bridges are most
effective for people who
have only a few missing
teeth because when they
are inserted they are usually
anchored to surrounding
natural teeth.
Fixed bridges are the most common type of bridges used. When this type of bridge is inserted the two surrounding teeth must be affixed with crowns to hold it in place.
If your fixed bridges are well constructed, then they should appear entirely natural, and restore function to the area.
Teeth can fall out due to disease, decay and physical trauma, but bridges can be inserted to reconstruct a person’s smile and make sure that they don’t suffer any of the negative effects associated with tooth loss.

The step to take care of the Dentures :
A temporary plastic tooth will be fixed while your dental bridge is being made at the laboratory. You must be gentle on this plastic tooth while eating.
How to take care of your Bridge :
After the permanent bridge is affixed diligent cleaning and care will ensure that the bridge lasts for years and does not have to be replaced. Caring for dental bridges over the years means always ensuring that they are regularly brushed and flossed with extra care taken where bridges and natural teeth meet. Similar to natural teeth, proper brushing and flossing will ensure that your bridges look great and last for years.
