Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, literally “bridging” the space and restoring aesthetics, functionality, and oral health. This page explores the various types, benefits, procedure, and care involved in dental bridge treatment.

Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are anchored to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, literally “bridging” the space and restoring aesthetics, functionality, and oral health. This page explores the various types, benefits, procedure, and care involved in dental bridge treatment.
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional fixed bridge: This is the most common type, consisting of artificial teeth (pontics) fused to crowns placed on the surrounding healthy teeth.
- Cantilever bridge: Used when there is only one healthy tooth on one side of the gap. The pontic is cantilevered (extended) off the crown placed on the single healthy tooth.
- Maryland bridge: A conservative option using metal wings bonded to the backs of the supporting teeth instead of full crowns. This requires minimal tooth reduction.
- Implant-supported bridge: This bridge is anchored by dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, offering superior stability and longevity.
The Dental Bridge Procedure at Cleopatra Smile Clinic
- Consultation and Examination:
- Our experienced dentists at Cleopatra Smile Clinic in Alanya, Turkey, will thoroughly examine your teeth and discuss your concerns and treatment goals.
- X-rays and diagnostic tests may be needed to assess your jawbone health and suitability for bridges.
- Treatment Planning:
- Your dentist will develop a personalized treatment plan, including the type of bridge most suitable for your case, the material to be used, and the number of appointments required.
- Tooth Preparation:
- Anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort.
- The teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth) are slightly reshaped to accommodate the crowns.
- Impression Taking:
- Accurate impressions of the prepared teeth and surrounding mouth are taken to create custom-made crowns and pontics.
- Crown/Pontic Fabrication:
- Our on-site laboratory uses advanced technology to design and fabricate the bridge components, ensuring precise fit and aesthetics.
- Bridge Placement and Cementation:
- The bridge is carefully placed on the prepared teeth and checked for fit, function, and aesthetics.
- Once everything is satisfactory, the bridge is permanently cemented to the abutment teeth.
- Care and Maintenance:
- Proper brushing and flossing, along with regular dental checkups and cleanings, are crucial to maintain the longevity of your bridge and overall oral health.
Advantages of Dental Bridges
- Restore aesthetics and function: Bridges fill the gap created by missing teeth, improving your smile and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting.
- Enhanced speech and chewing: Bridges improve the ability to speak clearly and chew food effectively.
- Prevent bone loss: Replacing missing teeth helps preserve jawbone health by preventing resorption due to lack of stimulation.
- Improved facial structure: Bridges support facial tissues and prevent sagging associated with missing teeth.
Potential Risks and Complications
Dental bridges are generally safe and well-tolerated; however, some potential risks and complications exist:
- Sensitivity: You may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few days.
- Chipping or fracturing: While durable, bridges can chip or fracture under excessive force.
- Gum disease: Poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease around the bridge abutments, potentially compromising the bridge’s longevity.
