Dental Bridges in Juhu — Reliable, Fixed Replacement for Missing Teeth
A missing tooth doesn't just affect aesthetics — it changes how you chew, how surrounding teeth shift over time, and how your jaw functions overall. A dental bridge at Dent Heal Juhu fills that gap with a permanent, stable, natural-looking restoration that stays in place 24/7.
How a Dental Bridge Works
A bridge is a fixed prosthetic that uses your existing teeth (or implants) on either side of a gap as anchors, holding a custom-fabricated artificial tooth (or teeth) suspended between them. Once cemented, it functions like your natural teeth — no removal, no adhesives, no slipping.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer at Juhu
— Traditional bridge — anchored to natural teeth on both sides of the gap. Most reliable and common.
— Cantilever bridge — supported by a single adjacent tooth, used when only one anchor is available.
— Maryland bridge — bonded conservatively to the back of adjacent teeth using metal or porcelain wings.
— Implant-supported bridge — anchored to dental implants, ideal for multiple missing teeth or weak natural anchor teeth.
What the Bridge Process Looks Like
Visit 1 — Anchor-tooth preparation, digital impressions, temporary bridge.
Visit 2 — Final bridge bonded after 5–7 days of lab fabrication.
The end result: a fully functional bite that looks completely natural.
Choosing Between a Bridge and an Implant
Both replace missing teeth, but with key differences. A bridge is faster and slightly cheaper upfront, but requires reshaping adjacent healthy teeth. An implant doesn't affect adjacent teeth and typically lasts longer. We help you weigh these factors honestly during your consultation.
Maintaining Your Bridge
Brush and floss regularly, use a floss threader or water flosser to clean under the bridge, and visit us every six months for a professional cleaning and check-up. With proper care, bridges typically last 10–15 years.
