A fixed dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using the adjacent natural teeth as anchors — restoring your bite, appearance and speech without surgery. Ceramic and zirconia bridges at Casa Dentique, Seawoods.
A dental bridge consists of two crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the gap (the abutment teeth), with one or more artificial teeth (pontics) suspended between them. The entire structure is fixed and cemented permanently — it does not come out.
The most common type — two crowns on the adjacent teeth with one or more pontics in between. Suitable when the adjacent teeth are healthy and structurally sound.
Casa Dentique uses all-ceramic and zirconia bridges — tooth-coloured, metal-free and completely natural-looking. No dark metal margins at the gumline.
A bridge is faster and less expensive than an implant but requires preparation of the adjacent teeth. An implant preserves the adjacent teeth intact. Dr. Anjali Katti will recommend the best option for your case.
Unlike implants, bridges require no surgical procedure — making them suitable for patients who prefer to avoid surgery or are not candidates for implants.
A bridge replaces the visible tooth but not the root — so some bone loss beneath the pontic occurs over time. An implant prevents bone loss more effectively.
With proper care and regular check-ups, a well-made ceramic or zirconia bridge lasts 10–15 years before replacement may be needed.
Dr. Anjali Katti examines the gap and the adjacent teeth. X-rays confirm the health of the abutment teeth. Treatment options (bridge vs implant) are discussed and costed.
The two adjacent teeth are prepared under local anaesthesia — shaped to receive the bridge crowns.
Precise impressions are taken and sent to the dental laboratory. A temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth.
The permanent ceramic or zirconia bridge is custom-made and shade-matched in the laboratory — typically 7–10 working days.
The bridge is tried in for fit and shade, then permanently cemented. Bite is checked and adjusted if needed.
