Dental Bridges in Prabhadevi — Fixed Solutions for Missing Teeth
When you're missing one or more teeth, the gap doesn't just affect your smile — it changes how you chew, how surrounding teeth shift over time, and how your jaw functions. A dental bridge at Dent Heal Prabhadevi closes that gap with a permanent, stable, natural-looking restoration that stays in place 24/7.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that uses your existing teeth (or implants) on either side of a gap as anchors, with a custom-made artificial tooth (or teeth) bridging the space in between. Once cemented, it functions and looks like your natural teeth — no removal, no slipping, no adhesives.
Bridge Types We Offer at Prabhadevi
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 implants instead of natural teeth, ideal for multiple missing teeth or when adjacent teeth aren't strong enough.
How Treatment Works
Visit 1 — Anchor-tooth preparation, digital impressions, and a temporary bridge. Visit 2 — Permanent bridge bonded after 5–7 days of lab fabrication. The result: a complete, comfortable bite that looks and feels completely natural.
Bridge vs Implant — How to Choose
Both restore 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 a Dental Bridge
Brush, floss daily, use a floss threader or water flosser to clean under the bridge, and visit us every six months for a professional cleaning. With proper care, bridges typically last 10–15 years.
