Now That I Have Received Dental Bridges, How Long Will They Last?

Posted on 7/10/2023 by Alyce

Missing teeth not only creates an undesirable look but also impacts your bite function. The gaps caused by missing teeth often bring about improper and unbalanced bites that can exert pressure on the other remaining healthy teeth, making them vulnerable to damage.

Dental bridges are impermanent teeth used to fill in the space left by missing teeth. They make the other remaining teeth stronger. Dental bridges also make chewing easier and improve general self-confidence because of the improved smile. Once you have received the bridges, their life will depend on many factors, including:

The Method of Application

There are different ways in which dental bridges are fitted depending on the nature of the spaces left behind. For a lost tooth in between two healthy teeth, crowns are fitted on the two adjacent teeth to hold the dental bridge. Some bridges are bonded onto the natural teeth using adhesives while others use dental implants for support.

Expertise and Experience of the Dentist

How long the crowns will last will also depend on the expertise of the dental specialist attending you. A professional with enough experience and who gives attention to detail during the process, of course, will have more durable results than one who does things hastily.

How You Care for Them

Your overall oral care will determine how long your dental bridges will last. Good oral hygiene will make them last longer. Caring for them is not as hard as it may seem. Just brush and floss twice daily as you always do and maintain the normal dental checkups with a dentist.

Dental Bridges Lifespan

Most tooth bridges will last up to seven years, especially the removable ones, but those fixed on implants can last more than ten years. Just make sure you care for them adequately and that they are inspected routinely.

What our patients are saying about us
"The first thought that comes to mind for this dental office is "kindness". Perhaps the Kind in Dr. Kindt's name was meant to be! Dr. Kindt and his staff offer the very best in dental care. I recently had extensive cosmetic dental work done and am delighted with the results. The great thing is that people notice my lovely teeth and I get lots of compliments when I smile. I consider Dr. Tim an artist when it comes to dental work. In addition to beautiful work the next best thing is that during hours of extensive work I experienced NO discomfort or pain. The final results combined with the utmost care for my comfort make it easy for me to give this dental office a five star rating." ~ Elaine S.
