Dental Bridges in Brooklyn, NY

If you have one or multiple teeth missing, a dental bridge also called a tooth bridge, can cover the gap to improve your appearance. Dental bridge cost is more affordable than other restoration options such as implants. Dr. Khabensky, DDS, is one of 2018 America’s best dentists who provide the best quality dental bridges such as traditional porcelain fused and implant-supported options for your missing teeth.

What Is a Dental Bridge?
If you have a gap in your teeth, a dental bridge may be right for you. This gap may be due to injury, decay, or disease. A dental bridge uses the teeth adjacent to the gap for support. These teeth are substantially reshaped and are covered with dental crowns.

The dental crowns are attached to the replacement tooth. If you have several side-by-side teeth missing, a dental bridge covers the gap. The bridge is permanently cemented onto the adjacent teeth (abutment), and the replacement tooth is shaped to look exactly like a real tooth, resting on the gums.

Dental tooth bridges cover the gap from a partial tooth loss of one or more natural teeth. Two or more crowns on either side of the gap hold the bridge in place. If the abutment teeth are already decayed or stained and would benefit from being covered up with dental crowns.

Dr. Khabensky, our cosmetic dentistry expert, uses this technique if the gap covers the entire side of your mouth. If your natural teeth aren’t strong enough to sustain a tooth bridge, implants may be used instead.

Why Should I Get a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge restores your ability to eat and speak. The result is a natural and younger-looking appearance. A tooth bridge restores the lost tooth structure. It eliminates the unsightly and uncomfortable movement of your other tooth. Advantages of dental bridges provided by the top-rated dentists:
- Restore your smile to its former, even, and symmetrical appearance
- Maintain the youthful shape of your face and eliminate a gaunt aged appearance
- Restore your ability to chew properly
- Distribute the forces in your bite. This reduces extra wear and tear on your remaining teeth.
- Prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of position or loosening

What Are the Different Types of Dental Bridges Available?
Tooth bridge types come in different forms. The type you get depends on your individual needs, mouth requirements, concerns over the cost, and desired outcomes.

The types of dental tooth bridges include:

- Traditional: provides a crown for your natural adjacent teeth on either side of the gap. This is the most common kind of tooth bridge. It’s made of porcelain fused to metal or ceramics.

- Cantilever: works best if you have one supporting side for the missing teeth. The cantilever bridge dental process isn’t common. We do not recommend cantilever bridges to our patients. Used in the back of your mouth, the force placed on your remaining teeth risks damage.

- Maryland: are also called resin-bonded bridges. They consist of porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or plastic teeth. A metal porcelain framework supports the gums. A Maryland bridge is a cost-effective method. They’re bonded on just one side in the back of existing teeth.

- Implant-supported: follow the same process as traditional ones. The only difference is that they use implants as abutment teeth. Regular bridges use crowns on your remaining natural teeth. You don’t have to consider dental bridge vs implant if both are part of the solution. Implant technology advancements have allowed this method to replace cantilever options. It provides stronger support if you have damage to your natural abutment tooth.
