BRIDGES
 
  • Dental Code: D6740 Bridges
  • A dental bridge permanently replaces missing teeth with false teeth
  • The bridge is attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges are usually made of porcelain or metal, a mixture of the 2, or zirconia
 
  • What dental problems are resolved by dental bridges?
    • bite problems
    • chewing difficulties
    • pain from the extra stress on your teeth and jaw
    • self-consciousness about the way you look or your smile
 
  • What does a dental bridge look like?
    • A typical dental bridge has:
      • Abutment teeth: A dental professional places two crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap. These anchoring teeth, or supporting teeth, can be your natural teeth or dental implants.
      • Pontics: This false tooth (or teeth) fills in the gap and attaches to the crowns.
 
  • What are the advantages of this procedure?
    • A dental bridge can:
      • Help your bite.
