Dental Bridges at Apollo Dental Clinic, Suchitra, Hyderabad
Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile—they can affect how you chew, speak, and feel about your appearance. Dental bridges are a trusted restorative solution that fill gaps caused by one or more missing teeth. They help restore functionality and appearance by literally "bridging" the space between existing teeth.
Our clinic provides natural-looking, durable dental bridges that help you regain your full bite and confidence.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. These neighbouring teeth, called abutments, support the bridge on either side.
Dental bridges are custom-made to blend in with your natural teeth and are securely bonded to provide a long-term solution.
Who Can Benefit from Dental Bridges?
- Have one or more missing teeth in the same area
- Have healthy teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap
- Are looking for a fixed, non-removable solution
- Want to maintain your bite, smile alignment, and speech clarity
Dental bridges are ideal for patients who want to avoid removable dentures or aren’t suitable candidates for implants.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
- Traditional Bridges – The most common type, supported by crowns placed on the natural teeth adjacent to the missing tooth.
- Cantilever Bridges – Used when there is only one natural tooth next to the gap.
- Maryland Bridges – Feature a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of the neighbouring teeth. Less invasive than traditional options.
- Implant-Supported Bridges – Anchored by dental implants rather than natural teeth, offering maximum stability.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restore chewing and speaking abilities
- Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
- Maintain natural face shape and jaw structure
- Offer a fixed, low-maintenance solution
- Improve appearance and boost self-confidence
The Dental Bridge Procedure
- Consultation and Planning – We assess the gap, surrounding teeth, and overall oral health to choose the right bridge type.
- Tooth Preparation – Adjacent teeth (if used as abutments) are shaped to receive crowns, or implants are assessed if applicable.
- Impressions and Shade Matching – We take accurate moulds and select a shade that matches your natural teeth.
- Temporary Bridge (if needed) – A temporary bridge is placed for protection and function while the final one is prepared.
- Final Placement – The custom dental bridge is cemented securely, ensuring a precise fit and bite.
- Aftercare Instructions – Our team provides guidance on brushing, flossing under the bridge, and regular check-ups.
