[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A fixed dental bridge <\/strong>is a type of prosthesis intended to restore dental<\/a> function and esthetics<\/a>. As its name suggests, dental bridges are anchored to two abutments, which can be teeth or implants, and are characterized by having pontic prostheses in the central part.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”50″ accent_color=”#00a19b”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

When do I need a fixed dental bridge?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nowadays, we usually propose fixed dental bridges on implants to those patients who suffer several dental absences and who want to recover their function. Once the implants are placed, if good maintenance is followed, we will avoid the process of bone resorption (loss), since the bone already has a place to hold on to. In addition, we are able to restore the bite of our patients so that they can eat under normal conditions and the occlusal forces are distributed, maintaining oral functions in the long term.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1623397760744{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_text]In the absence of a tooth, we will recommend placing an implant much earlier than a bridge anchored to two healthy teeth, since we would have to prepare them for the placement of the bridge, weakening them and going against our principle of minimum invasion and dental conservation. When there are two adjacent missing teeth we will also recommend placing two implants<\/strong> so as not to make such a long bridge that could compromise the stability of the healthy teeth in the medium term.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1624361863909{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”7271″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1624361691360{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”50″ accent_color=”#00a19b”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1624357535134{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
