An adhesive bridge is an aesthetic restoration of teeth. The procedure is carried out in a single visit, directly in the mouth.
An adhesive bridge is a fairly durable structure. Its main purpose is to correct a cosmetic defect, but it can also handle chewing.
The restoration is a structure made of light-cured material on a fiberglass ribbon or post, which is fixed to the supporting teeth.
Fixing an adhesive bridge means the teeth do not have to be ground down, as they are for a conventional bridge, and the tooth nerve stays vital.
Adhesive bridges can be used to replace 1 missing tooth, mainly in the front teeth area or the premolar (small chewing teeth) area.
Advantages of an adhesive bridge
Modern technology makes it possible to replace teeth simply and practically painlessly. Dentistry has made huge progress in prosthetics, so the advanced adhesive bridge has its own advantages over traditional methods:
- Contact-free prosthetics avoids injuring the gums.
- No temporary crowns are needed.
- Affordable price.
- An aesthetic prosthesis with a natural look.
- The option of repeat prosthetics.
