A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the adjacent natural teeth or implants.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental bridges can last between 5 and 15 years, or sometimes even longer.
Dental bridges are designed to look natural and blend in with your existing teeth. Your dentist will ensure that the shape and colour closely match your surrounding teeth.
The procedure typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, the supporting teeth are prepared and impressions are taken. At the second visit, the custom-made bridge is fitted and secured in place.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily, especially around the bridge area. Using interdental brushes or floss threaders can help keep the area clean. Regular dental check-ups are also important to ensure the long-term success of your bridge.
