If you have gaps in your teeth or are living with missing teeth, dental bridges are the best way to cover or ‘bridge’ the gaps. Dental bridges are relatively affordable, highly effective treatments which do not require a specialist surgeon.
The experienced and skilled Ipswich Family Dental team uses the very latest dental crowns to provide excellent solutions for a wide range of situations. We put our patients first, so we make it a priority to provide personalised dental care that addresses unique needs at a reasonable cost.
A dental bridge is made up of high-quality dental crowns that are fixed to the jaw on either side of the gap caused by missing teeth. The crowns act as abutment, or anchoring teeth and act as a solid base for the bridge. Next, the ‘pontics’ or artificial teeth are attached to the anchoring crowns with connectors to act as a replacement for missing teeth.
A traditional bridge is attached to two adjacent crowns. The connectors may either be rigid or fixed based on your dentist’s recommendation. Traditional bridges are ideally suited to patients who have adjacent teeth that are parallel.
A cantilever design is not as common as a traditional bridge, but is the most effective solution for a patient with just one anchoring tooth for support. Cantilever bridges are perfect for patients who have teeth on only one side of a gap.
Also known as resin-bonded dental bridges, a Maryland bridge doesn’t require the patient to get anchoring crowns on healthy teeth. This type of bridge uses ‘wings’ on either side of the artificial tooth which, with the help of a strong dental adhesive, attach securely to the healthy abutment teeth. This design makes Maryland bridges ideal for people who have missing front teeth. They are popular because they are less invasive and require less preparation.
Here are just some reasons why you should opt for a dental bridge at Ipswich Family Dental:

A dental bridge is designed to be a reliable solution for missing teeth and can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years with proper care. The longevity of a bridge depends on a number of factors such as oral hygiene, diet, regular dental check-ups, and the materials used. With good maintenance and routine visits to your dentist, bridges can provide long-term functionality with no compromise on looks.
Caring for a dental crown bridge requires patients to maintain their oral hygiene. Brush twice a day and floss daily, especially around the area of the bridge, to prevent gum disease and decay in the prosthetic teeth. Special flossing tools like interdental brushes or floss threaders are extremely effective at cleaning hard to reach areas, while regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also essential to ensure the bridge stays in good condition.
Both fixed bridge dental prosthetics and implants are effective at replacing teeth, but the right choice will depend on the specific requirements. Bridges are usually quicker to install and may be more affordable, however, implants, on the other hand, are more permanent and do not rely on adjacent teeth for support. Contact your dentist to determine whether fixed bridge dental attachments are the right choice for you.
Dental bridge procedures are performed regularly with a very high percentage of success. Dentists use local anaesthesia to numb the area during the procedure and while some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, it usually subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief is often sufficient to manage any post-treatment discomfort.
A dental bridge can be repaired or replaced if damaged or worn over time. Signs that a bridge may need replacement include looseness, damage to the structure, or discomfort while chewing.
