What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more consecutive missing teeth. It consists of one or more lifelike artificial teeth—called pontics—held in place by crowns attached to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. The result looks and functions just like a natural tooth.
Bridges are a strong choice for patients who are in good oral health, have healthy teeth next to the gap, and are looking for a non-surgical solution to tooth loss. Most are crafted from porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, each offering a different balance of aesthetics and durability.
Types of Dental Bridges
Not every gap is the same, so not every bridge solution is either. Dr. Barajas will help you determine which type best fits your smile, your goals, and your oral health during your consultation. The two most common options at our Chula Vista practice are traditional and implant bridges.
Traditional Dental Bridges
Traditional dental bridges are the most widely used option for replacing one or a few missing teeth in a row. Your natural teeth on either side of the gap are shaped carefully into posts, then the crowns are bonded to them, anchoring your bridge securely in place.
They're a proven, cost-effective solution that can be completed in just two visits and requires no surgery, making them a great fit for patients looking for results without a lengthy treatment process.
Implant Bridges
If you want a more permanent solution, an implant bridge combines the stability of dental implants with the coverage of a bridge. Instead of relying on neighboring teeth, this type of bridge is anchored to two implant posts surgically placed into your jawbone.
With this solution, there’s no need to modify your existing teeth. Plus, your jawbone will be stimulated, helping to prevent the bone loss that often follows tooth extraction.
The Benefits of Getting a Dental Bridge
Dental bridges restore so much more than aesthetics to your smile. Once in place, you’ll start to see advantages, such as:
- Restored Bite Strength: Eat all your favorite foods without worrying about being able to chew them.
- Prevented Shifting: Keeps neighboring teeth from drifting into the empty space over time.
- Natural Appearance: Custom-crafted and color-matched to blend seamlessly with your smile.
- Fast Treatment: Most bridges are completed in just two appointments.
