dental bridges

Dental restorations with bridges are procedures used to replace one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge consists of artificial teeth that are fixed to adjacent natural teeth or crowns, filling the space left by the missing tooth or teeth. This treatment helps restore chewing function, maintain tooth alignment, and improve the aesthetics of the smile, providing a stable and long-lasting solution. Below is a detailed and sustainable description of the treatment:

​

1. Diagnosis and Customized Planning

• Clinical and radiographic evaluation to identify teeth with extensive destruction, fractures, or missing teeth.

• Analysis of occlusion, periodontal health, and the patient’s aesthetic and functional needs.

• Digital planning for greater precision, error reduction, and resource optimization.

2. Dental Bridges

• Fixed structures that replace one or more missing teeth, supported by adjacent teeth or implants.

• Restore chewing function, speech, and aesthetics, preventing tooth displacement and occlusal problems.

• Fabricated with materials similar to crowns, prioritizing sustainability and longevity.

• Careful planning to distribute forces evenly, protecting periodontal health.

3. Clinical Process

• Preparation of abutment teeth with controlled reduction and tissue preservation.

• Digital or conventional impression for precise fabrication of prostheses.

• Trial, adjustment, and cementation with adhesive materials that ensure secure fixation and minimize infiltration risks.

• Careful finishing for comfort and aesthetics.

4. Maintenance and Care

• Rigorous oral hygiene, with guidance on the use of interdental brushes and dental floss, emphasizing sustainable practices.

• Regular check-ups to monitor the integrity of crowns and bridges and gum health.

• Repairs and adjustments as needed, extending the lifespan of the restorations.
