What Are Dental Bridges and How Do They Work?

Dental bridges are a common dental procedure that
many people have done. But what are they, and how
do dental bridges work? In this presentation,
we'll explain everything you need to know about
dental bridges.

Whats A Dental Bridge?
While a dental implant is rooted in your jaw
bone, a dental bridge fills in the space with a
missing tooth. A traditional one is attached to
neighboring teeth via crowns. The crows are
secured to the surrounding teeth and hold up the
restorative teeth.

The basic steps for dental bridge treatment
Consultation At this appointment, the dentist
assesses your teeth and determines if you are a
candidate for a dental bridge.
5
Impression or digital scan During the first
appointment, the dentist preps your teeth and
takes impressions or digital scans that he will
use to create a custom bridge.
6
Temporary bridge While the dental bridge is
being made, you may have a temporary bridge.
7
Permanent bridge installation Once your
restoration is complete, you return for
installation. The dentist will attach the bridge,
making any minor adjustments if necessary.

Leave with a complete smile! A well-maintained
dental bridge may last up to a decade.
