Missing teeth are not only unsightly but can also contribute to oral health issues and bite misalignment. Dental bridges are one of the various options for replacing missing teeth. The smile experts at Precision Dental in Astoria & Bayside, Queens, offer restorative procedures such as dental bridges to bridge dental gaps in both the front and back of the mouth.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a high-quality prosthesis designed to bridge the gap left behind by a missing tooth. As a prominent restorative dentistry procedure, a dental bridge is designed specifically to fit your mouth comfortably and blend in with the neighboring teeth.
What Are the Benefits of a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges can be an excellent option if the abutment teeth already have dental crowns or are decaying and need to be crowned. Another advantage of having a dental bridge is the potential ease of treatment. You could have your new dental bridge in a matter of weeks as opposed to dental implant treatment, which typically takes several months to complete. Once your dentist has shaped your teeth and taken a dental impression, they can provide a temporary restoration to wear for the time needed to manufacture your bridge. Your new bridge can be fitted and cemented in place at your next appointment. It’s a solution that will appeal to people who really don’t want to have oral surgery.
What Are the Different Types of Dental Bridges?
There are three types of dental bridges:
- Traditional bridge. A traditional dental bridge is supported by crowns on either side of the gap with a pontic in between. This creates a three-tooth or three-unit restoration.
- Cantilever bridge. Your dentist may suggest a cantilever bridge if you only have abutment teeth on one side of the gap or if the teeth on one side aren’t strong enough to support a bridge. However, because a cantilever bridge places all the stress on the teeth on one side only, it’s infrequently used because the force is often too much and can damage natural teeth. Cantilever bridges tend to be only used for front teeth and where these teeth aren’t subjected to strong chewing forces. A cantilever bridge would be a two-unit or two-tooth restoration, although sometimes a cantilever bridge will use two abutment teeth as support.
- Maryland bonded bridge. A Maryland bridge has wings that fit onto the inner surfaces of abutment teeth and which are bonded onto these teeth. The pontic is supported between the wings, but these bridges also only tend to be used when replacing front teeth. A Maryland bridge doesn’t have a lot of strength and can’t withstand substantial chewing forces. Sometimes a dentist might suggest a Maryland bridge as a temporary measure before having another treatment, such as a dental implant.
How Much Do Dental Bridges Cost?
The cost of a dental bridge is determined by the type of bridge, its position in your mouth, and the material used. A tooth replacement will likely cost between $300 and $1,000. A dental insurance plan, on the other hand, can help you minimize the overall cost. Many dental insurance plans cover bridges, allowing for substantial cost savings.
