Bridges on Teeth
Are you considering dental bridges to fill the gap left by missing teeth? Lonsdale Dental Practice, serving Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle, Bentham, and Lancaster, offers expert dental bridge solutions to restore your smile and oral function. Here’s what you need to know about dental bridges and how our team can help you achieve a confident, complete smile.
Understanding Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a false tooth used to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Unlike traditional removable dentures, dental bridges are permanent fixtures anchored to the teeth on one or both sides of the gap. With proper care, a dental bridge can last for 10 to 15 years, providing a durable and functional solution for missing teeth.
Types of Dental Bridges in Kirkby Lonsdale
The type of dental bridge used will depend on the condition of the adjacent teeth and the location of the gap:
Fixed Bridges
This type of bridge involves anchoring the false tooth to new crowns attached to the teeth adjacent to the gap. Fixed bridges are incredibly strong and can be used anywhere in the mouth.
Resin Bonded Bridges
Also known as Maryland Bonded bridges, these bridges do not require crowning of the adjacent teeth. Instead, the false tooth is bonded to the adjacent teeth using resin and metal bands. Resin bonded bridges are suitable for front teeth and offer a discreet solution.
Cantilever Bridges
Used when there is a healthy tooth only on one side of the gap, cantilever bridges are anchored to one or more teeth on the same side. While suitable for front teeth with minimal stress, they are not recommended for areas with high stress.
Before permanently fixing the bridge, your dentist will ensure a proper fit and comfort, making adjustments as needed. Alternatives to dental bridges include dentures or implants. While dentures may be uncomfortable and less stable, dental implants offer a permanent solution by anchoring false teeth to titanium posts surgically implanted into the jawbone.
