When it comes to restoring your oral function and replacing your smile, dental bridges offer one of the most trusted and proven tooth replacement treatments out there. Fixed dental bridges are particularly the choice of patients who seek a fixed, permanent method of filling the void left by missing teeth which cannot be taken out.
In this blog, we are going to discuss all you need to know about the price of fixed dental bridges, procedure, main advantages, and how to look after your fixed dental bridge.
1. What is a Fixed Dental Bridge?
One or more missing teeth can be replaced with a fixed bridge, a kind of non-removable dental treatment. It consists of crowns that are placed over the adjacent natural teeth or implants and are glued onto artificial teeth. Fixed dental bridges, in contrast to detachable dentures, are cemented and cannot be taken out by the patient.
Fixed Dental Bridge Procedure – What You Should Expect
The process of the fixed dental bridge is commonly completed in two, or more dental appointments. How it will be completed will be disclosed in the steps below:
1. Initial Consultation and Examination
Your dentist will begin with checking your oral condition and X-raying the area. The dentist will determine on your visit if your neighboring teeth are healthy enough to support a bridge. They will take impressions of your teeth as well.
2. Preparation of Teeth
Abutment teeth, which will be supporting the bridge, are prepared by removing enamel to create space for the crown.
3. Bridge Construction
A dental bridge is constructed in a dental laboratory with porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys. You may be provided with a temporary bridge while your permanent bridge is constructed.
4. Bridge Delivery
During a subsequent visit, the permanent bridge will be inspected for occlusion and adaptation prior to cementing it in place. Follow-up visits can be arranged to check proper functioning of the bridge.

1. Restored Functionality

4. Long-Term Usage
A fixed dental bridge can last over 10 years making it a cost effective solution for the rest of your life.
4. Aftercare Tips and Taking Care of Your Fixed Dental Bridge
Correct aftercare will not only prolong the life of your dental bridge, but also maintain oral health. These are the essential steps we want you to take when you’re caring for your fixed dental bridge:
Brush Daily
You should continue to brush your teeth 2 times a day. In addition, it is strongly recommended you clean under the bridge, either using a floss threader, or an interdental brush designed for cleaning under a bridge.
Regular Dentist Visits
Whatever form of restoration you have, you need to be visiting your dentist every 6 months. Routine cleanings on a regular basis, and routine dental checkup visits enable your dentist to check for, and remove decay and other issues early on.
Chewing Hard Foods
Avoid to chew hard foodstuffs and sticky foods that might damage the bridge itself, or your supportive teeth next to it. Do not chew ice, use hard candies or chewy foods because they all may damage your bridge. Do not use your teeth as a tool.
Use an Antibacterial Mouthwash
You may supplement your regular mouthwash with an antibacterial mouthwash in order to reduce plaque formation around your bridge.

5. FAQs
1. Is a fixed dental bridge better than an implant?
Both have a role in dentistry. Fixed dental bridges are faster and less invasive & implants can last longer than bridges and maintain the health of jawbone better than bridge.
2. Will a fixed bridge feel like my natural teeth?
Over time, a fixed dental bridge feels like natural teeth.
3. Can a fixed dental bridge be repaired if I damage the bridge?
Yes, but this depends on the extent of the damage.
4. Do fixed bridges change the teeth they’re attached to?
The teeth adjacent to the edentulous space (known as abutment teeth) are prepared to hold the bridge. These teeth can be maintained when oral hygiene is adhered to and routine upkeep is performed, though they are subject to additional force from assistance with the bridge.
5. How do I clean below a fixed dental bridge?
You will need to utilize another floss tool to thread the floss around the bridge or use an interdental brush to clean beneath the body of the bridge. Your dentist/hygienist can explain to you the manner in which to keep it clean and avoid gum problems. Read more
