Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic constructions designed to restore missing teeth. They are supported by abutment teeth or implants and consist of a series of artificial crowns connected to each other. This method makes it possible to restore masticatory function, prevent displacement of adjacent teeth, and preserve smile aesthetics.
When is placement of dental bridges indicated?
- In cases of absence of one or several consecutive teeth.
- When adjacent teeth require restoration and can serve as abutments.
- When implant placement is contraindicated or undesirable.
- To prevent shifting of neighboring teeth toward the defect.
- When rapid and reliable restoration of masticatory function is required.
How is the procedure performed?
- Consultation and diagnostics – the dentist assesses the condition of the teeth, performs radiographic examination, and selects the optimal type of construction.
- Preparation of abutment teeth – the teeth supporting the bridge are prepared to allow fixation of crowns.
- Impression taking – an accurate model of the future prosthesis is created for individualized fabrication.
- Fabrication of the dental bridge – performed with consideration of tooth shape, color, and dental arch anatomy.
- Try-in and adjustment – the dentist evaluates the fit of the construction and makes adjustments if necessary.
- Cement fixation – the dental bridge is securely fixed onto the abutment teeth.
Types of dental bridges
- Conventional bridges – fixed onto prepared adjacent teeth.
- Implant-supported bridges – attached to placed implants without preparation of healthy teeth.
- Adhesive (splinting) bridges – fixed using special adhesive systems and do not require enamel preparation.
- Metal-ceramic bridges – characterized by high strength and natural aesthetics.
- Zirconia bridges – distinguished by durability and biocompatibility.
