FAQs
Why is a dental bridge not recommended?
A dental bridge may not be ideal if the adjacent teeth are weak or if a dental implant is a better long-term solution. It also requires the reshaping of healthy teeth for placement, which can weaken them over time.
How long do dental bridges last?
With proper care, a dental bridge can last 10–15 years. However, factors like oral hygiene, bite pressure, and the material used, such as porcelain, can affect its lifespan.
What are the downsides of bridges?
Bridges rely on neighboring teeth for support, which can cause strain and potential damage. They may also require a root canal if the supporting teeth become decayed or infected.
Is a bridge cheaper than an implant?
Yes, a bridge is generally more affordable than a dental implant upfront, but implants last longer and do not require modifying adjacent teeth, making them a better investment in the long run.
