Dental Bridge

Dental Bridge in Gurgaon

Missing teeth can do more than affect your smile—they can impact how you speak, chew, and even the way your facial structure looks. Gaps left unfilled may cause neighboring teeth to drift, leading to bite problems, gum issues, and jawbone strain. Beyond function, a missing tooth can affect confidence and social interactions.

A dental bridge is a reliable and proven way to restore one or more missing teeth. True to its name, it seamlessly spans the empty space left behind, bringing back both function and aesthetics to your smile. Supported by healthy adjacent teeth or implants, it restores aesthetics, function, and balance—allowing you to smile, eat, and speak with complete confidence.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) to the natural teeth or implants on either side. Unlike removable dentures, bridges are permanently cemented in place, offering strength and stability.

Types of dental bridges include:

Traditional Bridge – A common and dependable choice that replaces the missing tooth by securing a pontic with crowns placed on the adjacent supporting teeth.
Cantilever Bridge – Supported by a crown on just one adjacent tooth, making it suitable when there is only a single healthy tooth next to the gap.
Maryland Bridge – Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth, with minimal alteration.
Implant-Supported Bridge – Anchored on dental implants rather than natural teeth, ideal for larger gaps.

When Is a Dental Bridge Recommended?

Your dentist may suggest a bridge if you:

Missing one or more consecutive teeth that leave a noticeable gap.
Looking to regain comfortable chewing and clear speech.
Want to maintain your facial structure and avoid sunken cheeks caused by tooth loss.
Need to prevent shifting of nearby teeth into the empty space.
Desire a fixed, stable alternative to removable dentures.
Seek a more affordable solution than multiple dental implants.

Aftercare Tips for Dental Bridges

When maintained well dental bridges can last 10–15 years or even longer. Follow these simple tips:
