What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are a type of tooth restoration that can replace one to three missing teeth in a row. Bridges consist of one or more pontics, or fake teeth, supported by dental crowns placed over the adjacent teeth. Dental implants (metal posts that are placed in the jaw) can also be used to support bridges.

How Do Dental Bridges Work?

Step One – Your dentist will carefully shape the abutment teeth, which are the natural teeth on either side of your missing tooth. In some cases, the gum tissue might also be modified.

Step Two – Next, they will capture a digital impression of the biting surface. That way, your bridge fits in properly with your other teeth.

Step Three – Then, it’s off to the lab! Technicians will use the data from your dentist to craft a custom bridge from materials like ceramics or porcelain and metal.

Step Four – Relief is coming! During the fitting process, which may take a few visits, you can also expect a temporary dental bridge.

Step Five – An abutment is a connector piece between the implant and your restoration. During a minor surgery, an abutment will be attached to your implant. It will take about two weeks for the gum tissue to heal around the abutment.
