Dental bridges are one of the most common prosthetic solutions in modern dentistry. Their main purpose is to replace one or more missing teeth, restoring chewing function, the natural appearance of the smile, and preserving the health of remaining teeth. Bridges are strong, durable, and aesthetically tailored to each patient, making them a reliable choice in many situations.
When are dental bridges used?
Bridges are recommended in the following cases:
- when one or more teeth are missing in a row
- to prevent shifting of remaining teeth
- to maintain proper bite alignment
- when the patient prefers a stable and fixed solution instead of a removable denture
- as a final restoration on dental implants
Types of Dental Bridges
Depending on the material and indication, there are several types of bridges:
- Ceramic bridges – natural appearance and excellent aesthetics, most commonly used in the front of the jaw
- Zirconia bridges – exceptional strength combined with excellent aesthetics, a long-lasting solution
- Metal-ceramic bridges – durable and resistant, often used for back teeth due to strong chewing forces
Advantages of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer many benefits to patients:
- restore chewing and speaking function
- restore the natural look of the smile
- prevent movement of surrounding teeth
- are durable and resistant
- are made with CAD/CAM technology, ensuring precision and comfort
Life with Dental Bridges
Patients quickly adapt to bridges as they look and function like natural teeth. Regular hygiene, flossing or using interdental brushes, and routine check-ups are essential for their longevity.
Conclusion
Dental bridges are a reliable and aesthetically high-quality solution for tooth loss. At H-dent Clinic, we use advanced materials and digital technologies to create bridges that perfectly combine strength, functionality, and aesthetics – giving patients smiles that last for years.
