What Types of Dental Bridges Are Available?

In this video, Dr. Ruedi Tillmann highlights traditional, implant-supported, and fixed full-arch bridges. Visit our Kaysville office for a free consultation to determine the best option for your smile, whether you’re in Ogden or Greater Salt Lake City.

There are several types of dental bridges, each designed to meet different needs and preferences. We aim to provide the best options for restoring function and aesthetics.

  1. A traditional tooth-supported bridge is anchored to natural teeth on either side of the gap. The process requires reshaping the two adjacent teeth to securely hold the bridge. Initially, a temporary bridge is placed, and once the permanent bridge is ready, it is cemented in place, offering a fixed restoration with a natural look and function.
  2. An implant-supported bridge is designed for areas where natural teeth are missing or insufficient. This type of bridge is anchored to two implants placed in the bone. It is particularly beneficial for patients with gaps where there is insufficient bone for a traditional bridge or where neighboring teeth should not be altered. This solution provides excellent stability and durability.
  3. A fixed full-arch bridge, also known as a roundhouse bridge, is supported by multiple mini implants. This comprehensive solution is ideal for individuals missing most or all teeth in an arch. The bridge is permanently cemented onto the implants, delivering excellent aesthetics, functionality, and long-term durability. This option restores a natural appearance and allows for normal eating and speaking.

Each type of bridge is designed to provide lasting comfort and function while enhancing your smile. Depending on your specific needs, we can help determine which option is best for you, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan.
