What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge in Tunisia is a commonly used dental device that consists of one or more artificial teeth made of resin or porcelain that replace missing natural teeth. Often referred to as a gap-filler, false teeth or partial prosthesis, a bridge is connected to crowns that anchor the device to the natural teeth.

The crown may cover two or more teeth to properly secure the bridge and hold the artificial teeth in place. If natural teeth are not available, your dentist may recommend implanting teeth on either side to hold the bridge in place.

What to expect during installation

After determining with your dentist that a dental bridge is the best solution for replacing your missing teeth, your dentist will begin preparing the anchor teeth or abutments. This preliminary treatment is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, and the process is generally not considered painful.

At your second appointment, the bridge will be fitted. Immediately after a bridge is fitted, your new bridge may feel bulky, but this should diminish as you get used to the new prosthesis. A third and final follow-up examination will allow your dentist to check the bridge and make any necessary adjustments if you experience any discomfort or pain.

Maintenance and follow-up

Maintaining a dental bridge is not very different from maintaining your natural teeth. The American Dental Association recommends regular brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush for two minutes every day. Regular flossing also helps prevent gum disease and cavities.

When using a bridge, you should pass the dental floss around your natural teeth and move it between the base of the bridge and the gum tissue.

Flossing once a day is the most effective way of removing plaque and debris from the underside of a bridge. Traditional dental floss may suffice, but many patients with braces prefer the convenience of Waterpiks.

Associated costs

Dental bridges in Tunisia are one of the most affordable options for replacing missing teeth, and are also more likely to be covered by your dental insurance.

On average, a dental bridge can cost between $500 and $1,200 per tooth, while a dental implant can cost between $1,000 and $3,000 per tooth. Your dentist can help you find the best solution for your budget.

Dental bridges are not a permanent solution

When properly maintained, a quality dental bridge can last for decades. Unnecessary damage can be prevented by avoiding chewing gum and eating hard foods such as nuts, ice cream and hard sweets.

Excellent oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist can help keep your placement comfortable, clean and durable. Although durable, a dental bridge is not considered a permanent solution for missing teeth.

Other options for replacing missing teeth

For a more permanent and less restrictive solution to replacing missing teeth, dental implants may be an option to consider. One of the most important benefits of dental implants is that they place less strain on the surrounding teeth while promoting bone structure and gum health. In general, a high-quality dental implant can last a lifetime.
