What Is A Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a custom-crafted restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth by literally “bridging” the gap in your smile. These advanced prosthetic devices are secured to healthy teeth on either side of the space, creating a stable and permanent solution for tooth loss.

At Miramar Smile Dentistry, our bridges are crafted from premium materials designed for both durability and aesthetics. Each bridge is carefully color-matched to your existing teeth and precisely fitted to restore both the appearance and function of your natural smile.

The Benefits of Dental Bridges

1.

Restored chewing ability and proper bite alignment, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly without difficulty.

2.

Prevention of remaining teeth from shifting out of position, maintaining your natural tooth alignment and avoiding future dental complications.

3.

Enhanced appearance and confidence with a complete smile that looks natural and feels comfortable in your everyday life.

4.

Preservation of facial structure and bone health by maintaining proper spacing and preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.

The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge

At Miramar Smile Dentistry, your bridge journey begins with a thorough examination and discussion of your goals. We carefully evaluate your oral health and adjacent teeth to ensure they can properly support a bridge, creating a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Digital imaging helps us plan the precise placement and design of your bridge.

The actual bridge creation process involves preparing the supporting teeth, taking detailed impressions, and crafting your custom restoration. While your permanent bridge is being created, we provide a temporary bridge to protect your prepared teeth. Once your custom bridge is ready, we ensure a perfect fit and comfortable bite before permanently securing it in place.

Types of Dental Bridges in San Diego

Traditional Bridges

These fixed restorations are the most common type of bridge design that we offer. Either side is attached to a stable, healthy tooth, suspending one or two pontic teeth between them.

Cantilever Bridges

When there is not a healthy tooth on both sides of the missing tooth, a cantilever bridge offers a single tooth-supported alternative. These artificial teeth are attached to the side of a functional dental crown, which is then set on top of the surviving adjacent tooth.

Maryland Bridges

A Maryland bridge is a replacement crown with small extensions that span out on either side of it. These “wings” are bonded behind the neighboring teeth, rather than reducing the shape of those teeth to cover them with a crown. Maryland bridges work well for front missing teeth, children, or temporary purposes before dental implant treatment.

Implant Bridges

An implant-supported dental bridge can replace multiple teeth at one time, as either end of the bridge is set on top of a dental implant. Up to four teeth in a row can be restored using only two dental implants.

Dental Bridges FAQs

If you have any questions about dental bridges, we’ve got answers.

Yes. Cosmetic dental bridges replace missing teeth and are designed to match the teeth on either side.

Like crowns, a well-cared-for dental bridge can last 5-15 years in most cases. Good oral hygiene is essential!

Dental bridges are an affordable tooth replacement option. The price of a dental bridge in San Diego depends on several factors, including the type of materials used, the number of teeth affected, whether implants are involved, and if you’re using any insurance benefits. On average, most bridges range between $500-$1500 per tooth. At Miramar Smile Dentistry, we provide each patient with a detailed treatment plan outlining all fees and estimated benefits so that you know what to expect before scheduling the treatment.

Although your bridge will not decay, bacteria can still accumulate around the margins of your restoration and affect your supporting teeth. To ensure your bridge lasts as long as possible, it’s important to:

  • Brush around your bridge twice a day
  • Floss around and under your bridge daily (or use a water flosser)
  • Plan routine dental visits every six months
  • Avoid biting on hard or extremely sticky foods
