Bridges are dental devices used as a substitute for one or more missing teeth. They are designed in a way that will make them look like natural teeth and can also restore the appearance and function of your teeth.
A bridge works by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. A prosthetic tooth is used to fill the gap, and it will help you to maintain the structure of your smile.
Yes, dental bridges are permanent. You can have your dental bridges removed only with the help of your dentist.
Usually, the life span of the dental bridges is 5 to 15 years and sometimes may even be longer.
A dental bridge will help you to chew your food better. Until you become accustomed to having the bridge in your mouth, it is recommended to eat soft foods that can be cut into small pieces.
It will take some time for you to adjust to speaking with your dental bridge. Initially, you may experience difficulty in pronouncing certain words, but over time your speech will improve.
