Dental Bridges - What are the results?

Dental bridges can fill unattractive gaps in the teeth and thereby achieve a regular, consistent set of teeth. From an aesthetic viewpoint, the results depend heavily on the material of the bridge. The most aesthetically pleasing results are achieved by bridges made of full ceramic. Such bridges are nearly indistinguishable from real teeth due to their natural translucency, color, and form. For this reason, they are often used to bridge gaps in the visible frontal area of the dental structure.

The lifespan of your dental bridge depends heavily on your personal oral hygiene. With proper care, metal crowns can be maintained for 15 to 25 years. Ceramic crowns can remain attached to bridge abutments for 10+ years, which has been confirmed by long-term studies within this timeframe.^4,6
