Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of artificial replacement teeth supported by crowns on neighboring teeth or by dental implants, depending on the treatment plan.
Why should I replace a missing tooth with a bridge?
Replacing a missing tooth can restore chewing function and appearance while helping maintain proper tooth alignment and bite. Dr. Sahar Moeini can determine whether a bridge is appropriate for your individual needs.
How long do dental bridges last?
Dental bridges can last for many years with proper oral hygiene and professional dental care. Longevity depends on the health of the supporting teeth and gums, bite forces, bridge design, and daily oral hygiene.
What is the difference between a dental bridge and an implant?
A traditional bridge relies on neighboring teeth for support, while a dental implant replaces the missing tooth root and supports its own restoration. The best option depends on your oral health, bone support, adjacent teeth, and treatment goals.
How do I care for a dental bridge?
Brush your bridge and natural teeth daily and carefully clean beneath the replacement tooth using floss or other recommended cleaning aids. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings help protect the bridge, supporting teeth, and surrounding gums.
