Dental Bridges
Kamakshi Dental offers expert dental bridge services designed to seamlessly replace missing teeth, restoring your smile’s function and aesthetics. A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device that fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth. By anchoring to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap, bridges improve your smile’s appearance and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, which could lead to bite issues or further tooth loss. At Kamakshi Dental, we’re committed to providing customized bridge solutions that blend perfectly with your natural teeth, offering a durable and cosmetically appealing result.
What are Dental Bridges
Dental bridges consist of two main components: the pontic, or false tooth, which replaces the missing tooth, and the crowns that are attached to the abutment teeth (the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap). Bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramics, or metal alloys, chosen for their durability and aesthetic qualities. The goal is to create a restoration that looks and feels like your natural teeth.
The Need for Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are an ideal solution for:
- Replacing one or more missing teeth
- Restoring the ability to chew and speak properly
- Preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of position
- Maintaining the shape of your face
- Distributing the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
- Enhancing the overall appearance of your smile
The Process
The journey to a restored smile with dental implants is a meticulous process characterized by personalized care and cutting-edge technology
Initial Consultation
Every bridge case begins with a thorough assessment of your oral health and a discussion of your treatment goals to ensure that a bridge is the best solution for your needs.
Preparation of Abutment Teeth
The natural teeth or implants that will serve as anchors for the bridge are prepared by reshaping them to accommodate the crowns that will hold the pontic in place.
Digital Impressions and Design
Utilizing cutting-edge digital technology, we take precise impressions of your teeth, which are then used to design your custom bridge, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance.
Bridge Fabrication
Your dental bridge is fabricated using high-quality materials selected to match the colour and appearance of your natural teeth, ensuring seamless integration into your smile.
Fitting and Placement
Once your bridge is ready, it’s carefully fitted, adjusted, and then cemented to the prepared abutment teeth, instantly restoring the gap in your smile.
Benefits of Dental Bridges:
- Aesthetic Appeal: Dental bridges are crafted to look like your natural teeth, significantly improving your smile after tooth loss.
- Functional Restoration:Bridges allow you to chew and speak properly by replacing missing teeth and distributing bite forces evenly.
- Prevents Shifting: By filling the gap, bridges prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting, maintaining the integrity of your bite and jaw alignment.
- Durability: With proper care, dental bridges can last many years, providing a long-term solution to tooth loss.
- Non-Removable: Unlike dentures, bridges are fixed and do not require removal for cleaning, offering a more convenient and comfortable option.
