Dental bridge information and international destinations
A dental bridge is an artificial set of three teeth to bridge gaps between teeth. The bridge is individually made according to the needs and conditions of each patient.
The dentist can use this procedure to replace three or more consecutively missing teeth, restoring both their functionality and appearance. The patient cannot remove the bridge from their mouth. Traditional and fixed bridges are the two varieties.
Traditional dental bridge
In a traditional bridge, the set of prosthetic teeth is supported by the natural teeth. To fit the bridge, the tooth must be reshaped during the operation. Then the bridge is secured.
Fixed bridge
An effective and long-lasting solution is the dental bridge supported by implants. In order to support the set of artificial teeth using this technique, two dental implants are positioned in the afflicted area.

Dental bridge frequent questions
Get answers to our most frequently asked questions and what to expect after the procedure.
What differentiates an implant bridge from a conventional crown bridge?
The way the bridge is secured in place is where the main differences lie. The traditional bridge makes use of your natural teeth, while the other uses dental implants.
Which dental bridge is the most affordable?
Although the cost of the dental implant bridge is high, maintenance costs are lower over time. Your natural teeth hold the dental crown bridge, but in order to place the crowns, the dentist must remove some of their enamel to make room for the crowns that will be cemented. As a result, these teeth are left exposed and will always need to be covered with crowns.
What process is simpler to keep up?
Because the implant material is constructed of titanium, the implant bridge is easier to maintain and provides a more durable and easier to maintain providing a lower possibility of decay or gum disease.
