The Beauty of Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are meticulously crafted dental appliances that are expertly designed to seamlessly replace missing teeth. What truly distinguishes them is their remarkable natural appearance, as each bridge is custom-made to effortlessly blend with your existing teeth. At Reagin Family Dentistry, we place great importance on aesthetics, meticulously ensuring that your new bridge perfectly restores the natural contour of your teeth.

Removable vs. Fixed Bridges

When considering dental bridges, one of the key decisions to make is whether to go for removable or fixed bridges. To better understand the difference, here’s a brief overview:

Removable bridges: As the name suggests, these bridges can be easily taken out for regular cleaning and maintenance, ensuring optimal oral hygiene. They are typically held in place by small clasps that are discreetly attached to the adjacent teeth, providing a secure fit and allowing for easy removal when necessary.
Fixed bridges: Unlike removable bridges, fixed bridges are permanently affixed to the neighboring teeth using dental crowns or implants, creating a stable and long-lasting solution. The dental crowns or implants not only secure the bridge in place but also contribute to a natural look and feel, seamlessly blending with the surrounding teeth.

At Reagin Family Dentistry, our team of skilled dentists will help you determine the most suitable option for your specific needs and preferences.

Types of Fixed Dental Bridges

When it comes to fixed dental bridges, there are several types to choose from. Each type has its own unique benefits and is used depending on the individual patient’s needs. The most common types of fixed dental bridges are:

Conventional Fixed Bridges

These bridges are the most traditional type and consist of two dental crowns attached to the adjacent teeth with a pontic (false tooth) in between. They are typically made from porcelain or ceramic for a natural appearance.

Cantilever Bridges

Cantilever bridges are similar to conventional fixed bridges, but they only require one dental crown on the neighboring tooth to support the pontic. This makes them a suitable option for replacing missing teeth in areas where there is only one adjacent tooth.

Maryland Bridges

Maryland Bridges Also known as resin-bonded bridges, Maryland bridges use a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the back of adjacent teeth with resin. They are a less invasive option compared to traditional fixed bridges and are often used for replacing missing front teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

For patients with multiple missing teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a more stable and long-term solution. These bridges are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone, creating a strong foundation for the bridge. They can be used to replace several missing teeth in a row or even an entire arch of teeth.

Materials Used in Bridge Appliances

There are various materials used in the fabrication of dental bridges, each with its own unique properties and benefits. At Reagin Family Dentistry, we use high-quality materials to ensure that your bridge not only looks natural but also lasts for a long time.

Some common materials used for dental bridges include:

Porcelain: Known for its lifelike appearance and stain-resistant properties, porcelain bridges seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, providing a discreet solution.
Gold Alloys: Recognized for their strength and longevity, gold alloy bridges offer a robust option for those seeking a durable and reliable dental appliance.
Combinations of Materials: In some cases, a combination of materials may be used to achieve the optimal balance of aesthetics and functionality.
