Dental bridges

To bridge tooth gaps aesthetically.

If a tooth is missing, bridging, as an alternative to implants or removable prosthesis, is one of the ways to close the gap in the row of teeth. It consists of max. 3 firmly connected crowns, which are attached to the adjacent teeth and bridge the gap.

Why is it important to care for a tooth gap?

Walking adjacent teeth into the gap, tilting or being misloaded can lead to unwanted changes in the tooth positions. Here can be provided by the use of bridges also, so that the teeth of the opposing jaw do not migrate from the bone into the gap. This way function and aesthetics are safely preserved.

Work steps to the bridge:

Crown Trim of Neighboring Teeth, Precision Imprint, Bite Picking, Color Selection, Making a Temporary Bridge (1st Dates)
Dental technician makes the individual substructure in the laboratory (= bridge framework)
Checking the bridge framework for accuracy of fit (border closure) and bite registration (2nd appointment)
Completion of the bridge by the technician
Check the bridge for contact point and attachment of the bridge (3rd date)
Control appointment after one week (4th date)

Quality criteria of a bridge

A dental bridge should not be aesthetically distinguishable from a natural tooth. A perfect edge closure shows how carefully worked: crowns must smoothly smoothly pass into the tooth, when cleaning the interdental spaces, the floss should not get stuck or tear. The perfect point of contact with the neighboring teeth ensures that no food particles get stuck between the teeth when eating, which then leads to increased caries.
