Fixed Bridge or Prosthesis
Fixed Bridge or Prosthesis is a fixed dental bridge is an immovable construction made up of numerous connected crowns. When one or more teeth are missing, dental bridges are put in place, and it’s crucial to have at least two supporting teeth, one on each side.
Your dentist might recommend a dental bridge as a restoration choice if your missing tooth is situated between two good teeth. Between two crowns that your dentist ties to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, a prosthetic tooth is suspended. The colour of the porcelain is matched to that of your neighbouring teeth. Simply put, a dental bridge fills the space left by missing teeth. A dental bridge can be the ideal option if you’re replacing a tooth or teeth that are close to the back of your mouth.
Additionally, when all of the teeth are present, dental bridges can be fitted onto the teeth, for example, to splint (strengthen) movable teeth.
Both the front teeth and the back teeth can have dental bridges put in.
Bridge installation is not recommended in certain situations.
- Gum disease (periodontitis)
- Lack of space when moving the teeth of the opposite jaw towards the missing ones
- Absence of three or more teeth
- Mobility of abutment teeth
- Requirement that a bridge prosthesis have at least one support on each side in the absence of one of the supports, a bridge is not made.
