Zahnbrücken Arten Header

If for some reason teeth are missing in your mouth, the dentist may suggest placing a dental bridge. This is an alternative that makes it possible to restore the aesthetics and functions lost due to the loss of teeth.

Today we would like to explain to you in detail what a dental bridge is, what types there are and what advantages they offer!

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a type of fixed denture that replaces one or more adjacent teeth that are missing from the mouth. It involves covering the area of missing teeth with artificial crowns that are cemented onto the patient’s remaining healthy teeth.

In order for this to be attached to the neighboring teeth, however, these must first be ground down so that the structure can be cemented on them. Therefore, the patient cannot remove the prosthesis and it remains firmly in the mouth.

What are their functions and what material are they made of?

With this type of rehabilitation it is possible to restore functions that have been lost due to the absence of one or more teeth. These include aesthetics, occlusion, chewing ability, speech and pronunciation.

In general, dental bridges can be made from the following materials:

  • metals
  • resins
  • pottery
  • porcelain

It is important to seek the advice of your dentist. Dental bridges are a good option to replace the teeth that are missing in the mouth for some reason. However, before you decide on this method, you should definitely start a price comparison.
