What are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a type of dental component used to restore or permanently replace one or more missing teeth. There are three parts to a dental bridge: A pontic (false) tooth or teeth to cover the empty space and two abutments or supporting teeth. The abutments are connected to the teeth on either side of the gap with dental crowns to securely hold the bridge in place.

Dental bridges are considered cosmetic (a visual improvement) but can also help to prevent future dental problems. According to the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP), people with missing teeth have a higher risk of developing:

Tooth decay
Periodontal or gum disease
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD)
Nutritional changes or deficiencies
Obesity
Diabetes
Coronary artery disease

In addition to preventing health problems, bridges can help a person speak more clearly and smile more confidently. They will also prevent other teeth from shifting and changing a person’s facial shape.

Are there different types of bridges?

There are three types of dental bridges available:

Resin-bonded bridges – Also called Maryland bonded bridges, these bridges are considered the best alternative when the missing tooth is located in the front of the mouth.
Conventional or traditional bridges – Traditional bridges consist of a pontic tooth or teeth adhered to two crowns on supporting teeth on either side of the gap.
Cantilever bridges – These bridges only have a single abutment and a pontic tooth. They are not as common because they can put too much pressure on the bridge and abutment tooth.

After an exam and evaluating the health of possible abutment teeth to support the dental bridge crowns, your dentist and dental crowns Las Vegas team will determine the best option for your situation. If a dental bridge is not the ideal solution, you can speak with a licensed denturist in our office to see if dentures may work better for you.

Who are the best candidates for dental bridges?

People who have a missing tooth or missing teeth in a row may be perfect candidates for dental bridges. The best candidates for resin-bonded dental bridges are people whose teeth are in good condition and have two abutment teeth that are not severely decayed, damaged, or have not been restored. A missing tooth in the front of the mouth is the ideal scenario for a cantilever bridge. The pontic is fastened to at least one abutment tooth.

What is the dental bridge process?

Placing dental bridges involves creating crowns for the area of the missing tooth and the abutment (teeth on either side) of the missing tooth or teeth. The treatment for bridges starts with the abutment. After the dentist administers local anesthesia, they clean and prepare these teeth to support the bridge. The preparation stage involves reducing the size of the abutments to fit the pontic teeth.

The dentist then obtains an impression of the adjacent teeth, which is molded and sent to a lab to create the final dental bridge. The dentist fits your teeth with a temporary bridge for you to wear while the lab completes your final bridge. The temporary bridge also functions to protect your teeth and gums from injury.

The dentist will contact you to return to their office to remove the temporary bridge and fit and cement the final bridge. For resin-bonded dental bridges, the abutment teeth are bonded to the pontic with metal bands.

Dental Bridges – Quick Facts

Dental bridges are permanent. If you are uncomfortable with this idea, you might consider removable restorative components, such as partial dentures.
If you practice good oral hygiene and visit your dentist for regular checkups, your dental bridges may last upwards of 10 years.
There is a short adjustment period for dental bridges.

Dental Bridges – Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a dental bridge cost without insurance?

– +

The cost of a dental bridge will vary depending on the type of bridge you need, the materials used to make it, and if other procedures must be done in preparation for the bridge. If you don’t have insurance that will cover part of the cost, Absolute Dental has special offers, flexible payment plans, and discounts through our SmileSaver program! Schedule a consultation to learn more about pricing for dental bridges.

Does insurance cover bridges?

– +

Many dental insurance plans will cover a percentage of the total cost of dental bridges because they can improve oral health and function, in addition to cosmetic benefits. However, you should check your insurance policy to understand what is included in your coverage and how much your provider will pay toward dental bridge treatment.

Are partial dentures a better alternative to bridges?

– +

Partial dentures may be a better option if you have multiple missing teeth that are not next to each other to create a single gap. Partials can provide similar benefits as bridges by improving the appearance of your smile and the ability to bite and chew. Bridges work best for one or two missing teeth. However, consult your dentist to see which option will be most beneficial for you.

Should I replace my missing tooth with an implant?

– +

A dental implant is another permanent option to replace a missing tooth or teeth. However, if you have several missing teeth, your dentist may recommend a dental bridge or dentures rather than multiple dental implants. Talk to your dentist to discuss your options.

How painful is the dental implant procedure?

– +

If you’re considering dental implants over a dental bridge, it’s essential to understand the difference. Dental implants involve a more extensive surgery in which your dentist will place a titanium implant that fuses with the jaw bone for a permanent replacement for missing teeth. There is some discomfort for a few days immediately following the procedure, but your dentist will share ways to minimize pain.
