Dental Bridge

          With our own In-House laboratory, we are specialized in providing prosthodontic dentistry, including, bridges. Our high-quality and durable bridges of exacting standards and precision have been trusted by leading dental clinics and hospitals for years.

Type of Bridges

          1. Traditional Fixed Bridges. A traditional fixed bridge is composed of a full artificial tooth with crowns attached to either side. These crowns are cemented over the teeth next to the missing tooth, and hold the artificial tooth in place where your missing tooth had been. Traditional fixed bridges are not removable.

          2. Resin Bonded Bridges. A resin bonded bridge is suitable for those missing a front tooth, their abutment teeth (the ones next to the missing tooth) are healthy and the gap is not too wide. In this case, metal anchors are affixed to the back of abutment teeth using a strong resin. The artificial tooth is then anchored to these bands. This type of bridges is less complicated and less costly.

          3. Cantilever Bridges. A cantilever bridge is suitable for an area with lower stress such as front teeth. A full artificial tooth attaches to the crown on one of the adjacent teeth only. Placing a bridge is similar to a placing a crown. After the bridge is fitted, oral care is similar to natural teeth, that is, brushing twice a day (morning and night) and flossing to extend the durability of the bridge.
 
 
 
Care for Dental Bridges
          - Proper brushing and flossing at least twice a day or after meals ensure optimum cleanliness and maximize the bridge durability.
          - In the first 2-3 weeks, it is common to feel some sensitivity when drinking cold water. The sensitivity will disappear shortly. Please consult your dentist if you experience persisting sensitivity or irritation around the bridge.
