What is a Fix Crown Bridge?

A fixed crown bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) anchored in place by crowns that are attached to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. These crowns act as supports, ensuring the bridge remains stable and restores both functionality and aesthetics to the patient’s smile. Fixed crown bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing long-lasting results.

Causes of Missing Teeth

Several factors can contribute to tooth loss, which may necessitate the placement of a fixed crown bridge:

  1. Decay or Cavities: Severe tooth decay can damage teeth to the point where extraction is required.
  2. Gum Disease: Advanced periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss as the surrounding bone and gum tissue weaken.
  3. Trauma or Injury: Accidents or trauma to the face can cause teeth to become damaged or knocked out.
  4. Congenital Conditions: Some people may be born without certain teeth, requiring restorative options like a fixed crown bridge.

Symptoms of Missing Teeth

  • Gaps in the Smile: Visible spaces where teeth are missing.
  • Difficulty Chewing or Speaking: Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat certain foods or pronounce words clearly.
  • Shifting Teeth: Teeth adjacent to a gap may begin to shift or tilt, altering your bite.
  • Facial Sagging: The absence of teeth can cause the face to appear sunken or aged.

Treatment with a Fixed Crown Bridge

Treatment involves a thorough examination by your dentist, who will assess whether adjacent teeth are healthy enough to support the crowns. The dentist prepares these teeth, taking impressions to ensure a precise fit. The bridge is then custom-made and securely bonded in place. With proper care, a fixed crown bridge can last many years, restoring both function and confidence to your smile.
