Problems with Choosing a Dental Bridge

Dental bridges are a popular solution for replacing one or more adjacent missing teeth, but the teeth adjacent to the gap must be crowned to support the replacement teeth, called pontics.

The pontics are attached to the crowns to create a strong restoration. While this sounds good, these adjacent teeth must be substantially ground or shaved to create enough room for the dental crowns, as otherwise, the crowns would look and feel bulky and unnatural.

Dental crowns are ideal when teeth are decayed or substantially damaged and are missing some of their natural structure, but they are not an ideal solution when teeth are healthy and strong and don't require the protection of a crown.

Reshaping a healthy tooth and crowning it as part of a bridge restoration increases the risk of infection and decay developing underneath the crown as the bridge begins to age. Additionally, these adjacent teeth come under more pressure as they support replacement teeth. Eventually, this extra pressure could cause the supporting teeth to fail.
