Understanding Dental Bridges and How They Work
A dental bridge is designed to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge typically includes one or more pontics (artificial teeth) that fill the gap left by missing teeth. It is an artificial replacement tooth that is secured into place and supported by surrounding natural teeth.
Dental crowns are often used to anchor the bridge to the abutment teeth, providing stability and support. Fortunately, a bridge looks and feels like a natural tooth and can allow patients to chew and eat normally. Also, a dental bridge may help patients speak without any issues, as bridges can fill in the gaps between teeth affecting positively the tongue’s placement and how patients sound.
During the first appointment, the dentist will assess the patient's oral health, often using x-rays to evaluate bone and tooth structure before planning the bridge.
Discover the Advantages of Choosing Dental Bridges
There are several reasons patients may benefit from the placement of dental bridges. Perhaps the greatest benefit of dental bridges for those with multiple missing teeth is the fact that they offer a natural look. Dental bridges are made from durable materials like porcelain or gold alloy, ensuring longevity and a natural appearance. Dr. Lazare is an advocate for dental bridges as an option to replace missing teeth because when patients speak, smile, or laugh, nobody will know that they have a dental bridge in their mouth.
Dental bridges are also nearly identical to natural teeth visually. Patients with bridges can eat their favorite foods and chew as they did before tooth loss, and caring for dental bridges is easy. Cantilever bridges are often used for back teeth where less chewing force is applied.
Dr. Lazare suggests that patients simply brush and floss their teeth every day as normal and visit the dentist regularly to ensure their bridges stay in tip-top shape. This restorative treatment does not require any special instructions or alter a patient’s lifestyle in any way. Fixed bridges are a stable and long-lasting solution for many patients.

How long does a dental bridge last?
The lifespan of a dental bridge depends on several factors, such as oral hygiene, dietary habits, and overall health. With proper care and often covered by dental insurance, dental bridges can last for many years.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Bridges in Manhattan?
Most patients who are missing one or more teeth are eligible for dental bridges. Dental bridges are a wonderful option, especially when one is not a great candidate for replacing a tooth with a dental implant. Before performing a dental bridge procedure, Dr. Lazare makes sure that the patient has two healthy and strong teeth on each side of the missing tooth or teeth.
If Dr. Lazare determines a patient is not a good candidate for a dental bridge, he will recommend an alternative solution. A consultation is a great way for patients to find out if a dental bridge is right for them.
