At IJssel Dental, we understand how important a healthy and complete set of teeth is to your overall well-being and self-confidence. A bridge is an excellent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. This not only helps restore your smile, but also improves the functionality of your teeth.
A bridge is a fixed dental prosthesis used to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth that are attached to the adjacent teeth or implants. This ensures that the artificial tooth(s) remain firmly in place and that your teeth are fully functional again.
Missing teeth can lead to problems with chewing, speaking and shifting of surrounding teeth. A bridge prevents these problems, restores your chewing function and improves your appearance by restoring the natural shape of your teeth.
We understand that a visit to the dentist can sometimes raise questions and concerns, so we have put together this section to provide you with clear and concise answers to the most common questions.
If your question is not answered here, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team is always ready to help you.
If you are missing one or more teeth and have difficulty chewing or speaking, a bridge may be a good solution. During a consultation at IJssel Dental, we will assess your teeth and discuss the best treatment options for you.
A bridge provides a permanent and durable solution for missing teeth. Compared to a removable prosthesis, a bridge feels more natural and offers more stability. In addition, a bridge prevents surrounding teeth from shifting, which is important for maintaining a healthy bite.
With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, a bridge can last 10 to 15 years or more. It is important to brush well, floss, and visit your dentist regularly to prolong the life of your bridge.
The cost of a bridge depends on the number of missing teeth that need to be replaced, the material of the bridge and the complexity of the treatment. During your consultation we will draw up a detailed cost overview and treatment plan. We will also discuss the possibilities for insurance and payment in installments.
Bridge placement is usually painless, as it is performed under local anesthesia. You may experience some sensitivity after the procedure, but this usually disappears within a few days. Our team will make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
A bridge requires the same care as natural teeth. This means regular brushing, flossing and rinsing to remove plaque and prevent gum problems. Special floss may be needed to clean under the bridge.
Bridge placement is usually done in two to three appointments. During the first appointment, the adjacent teeth are prepared, impressions are taken, and you are given a temporary bridge. During the next appointment, the permanent bridge is placed and adjusted for a perfect fit.
