Dental Bridges

Pros, Cons, and Alternative Options

Dental bridges are a common solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.

They consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, effectively “bridging” the gap left by missing teeth. This restoration not only enhances your appearance but also maintains the alignment of your remaining teeth and supports proper chewing and speech functions.

Understanding the various types of dental bridges, their advantages, potential drawbacks, and alternative options is crucial for making an informed decision about your oral health.

Benefits of Bridges

  • Restored Functionality Bridges enable proper chewing and speaking, which might be affected by missing teeth.
  • Aesthetic Improvement They help maintain facial structure by preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss.
  • Preventing Teeth Shifting Filling the gap prevents adjacent teeth from moving out of position, which can lead to bite problems and other complications.
  • Quick Procedure Unlike dental implants, bridges usually require only a few dental visits, making them a faster solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

With proper care, dental bridges can last between 5 to 15 years, and sometimes even longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for longevity.

Dentists use local anesthesia during the preparation and fitting of a dental bridge, so patients typically experience minimal discomfort. Some sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but it usually subsides quickly.

Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and flossing. It’s also important to clean under the pontic (false tooth) to prevent plaque build-up. Regular dental visits are crucial for monitoring the health of your bridge and surrounding teeth.

Most individuals with one or more missing teeth are candidates for a dental bridge. However, the health of the adjacent teeth and gums is crucial, as they need to support the bridge. A dental assessment is necessary to determine suitability.

The cost varies depending on the type of bridge and the materials used. Private treatment costs can differ, so it’s advisable to consult with your dentist for an accurate quote.

Patient Testimonials

google
I saw Dr Mohsen over the course of 15 months for Invisalign and composite bonding. The treatment provided was nothing short of exceptional and I am thrilled with the end results. Dr Mohsen truly is skilled when it comes to correcting both cosmetic and functional (bite) issues with Invisalign, working to give you the absolute best result possible . It is clear from speaking with Dr Mohsen (even from the very first consultation) is a genuine care for patients and giving them honest advice on what would be the best solution for them as opposed to simply looking to make a sale as I have found was the case with other consultations I had. I was re assured throughout the treatment that everything was going to plan (including regular checkups with the dr himself every 4-6 weeks) and where amendments were needed / I had questions or concerns these were addressed and with the upmost attention. If you are looking for an experienced, caring and affordable Invisalign provider, I would thoroughly recommend the clinic and Dr Mohsen- you will not regret the decision.

As a dentist myself, I know I can be quite particular when it comes to detail but Dr. Mohsen was kind enough to take me on for my smile makeover, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He placed 8 veneers for me, and I’ve had so many compliments on how beautiful and natural they look.

What really stood out was how gentle and caring he was throughout the process! I didn’t even feel his injections! He genuinely took the time to make sure I was comfortable and looked after at every stage. It’s rare to find someone with such a great mix of technical skill and emotional intelligence in dentistry.

Thank you, Dr. Mohsen, for giving me a smile I’m proud of!

Thank you looking after my teeth with such care for over 10years, I couldn’t be happier and would recommend you over and over again!
