Fixed bridges in Cartagena, Colombia

Fixed Dental Bridges

Fixed dental bridges are prosthetic restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are supported by prepared natural teeth or dental implants. Their purpose is to restore chewing function, improve speech, and enhance the appearance of the smile. Depending on each patient's needs, bridges can be made from materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or ceramic bonded to a supporting framework.

What are the benefits of fixed dental bridges?

Fixed bridges replace missing teeth without needing to be removed for cleaning, help maintain the continuity of the dental arch, and can improve chewing and appearance. When supported by natural teeth, the supporting teeth may need to be reshaped, so the dentist should assess the available options, including dental implants.

How long do fixed dental bridges last?

Their lifespan depends on the material, quality of placement, gum health, and daily care. Good oral hygiene, floss or special cleaning devices for the area beneath the bridge, and regular dental checkups help keep the restoration in good condition.
