What is a dental bridge?

Less known than other dental prostheses, the dental bridge offers interesting advantages. Also called dental bridge, a bridge is a dental prosthesis which is fixed on the neighboring teeth with one or more missing teeth at cosmetic dentistry in Lahore. Before the installation of the bridge, the dentist must first reduce the volume of the latter and, if necessary, devitalize them if they are damaged. Aesthetically, the dental bridge has the advantage of having shades very close to those of real teeth. It thus makes it possible to find a beautiful smile and to chew without embarrassment.

What are the different types of bridges?

There are mainly 4 types of dental bridges:

The conventional bridge

Used to replace one or two teeth, this bridge is placed after grinding or devitalization of the abutment teeth (with or without devitalization).

The bonded bridge

On the other hand, it is used when there is only one tooth to replace. Unlike a conventional bridge, its placement does not require devitalization or volume reduction in the abutment teeth. It is simply fixed with cement on the inner edge of the adjacent teeth.

The implant bridge

This type of bridge is used when there are no surrounding teeth that can serve as abutments. The dentist then places implants in the locations of the missing abutment teeth before placing the bridge.

The dental bridge of several teeth and complete bridge

If it is necessary to devitalize and crown neighboring teeth with edentulousness or to trim them before the installation of the bridge, the dentist can recommend to his patient the installation of this type of bridge at cosmetic dentistry in Lahore. This type of bridge is a more economical and more functional solution than the bridge on implants. We also talk about a full bridge when it replaces all of the top teeth or all of the bottom teeth.

At your request and if possible, a surgical guide can be made from the CT scan.

This guide allows us to fix the implants very precisely in the position defined by the 3d radio and with the planning software without the need for a visual inspection of the bone volume.

The consequence is that no incision is necessary, the guide being fixed on your gum after a simple local anesthesia.

What is the price of a dental bridge?

It all depends on the type of material used in the manufacture, the preliminary examinations, the fees of the dentist and the type of bridge chosen. For example: for the installation of a bonded dental bridge, it is necessary to consult with your relatives or friends too  that have experienced the procedure; for the installation of a bridge with 3 crowns, the price varies between different dentist in Lahore; for an implant bridge, expect between 650 and 700 euros with a supplement for the abutment for each crown.

As for the price of a complete dental bridge containing 12 crowns and 6 implants, you can consult your dentist in Lahore. In short, the dental bridge is a simple and effective solution against tooth loss. It provides a more aesthetic and more functional result than a conventional denture.
