Dental bridge application is a widely preferred dental treatment for replacing missing teeth. The treatment process is shaped according to the patient's oral health and needs, and generally includes the following steps:
1. Comprehensive Examination and Diagnosis: The first stage of treatment is a detailed intraoral examination performed by the dentist. During this examination, the patient's general oral health is evaluated, and dental X-rays are taken to determine bone structure, the condition of adjacent teeth, and other possible dental problems. Based on this information, the patient's suitability for dental bridge treatment and the most appropriate bridge type are determined.
2. Taking Impressions and Preparation: After the treatment plan is finalized, precise impressions of the patient's oral structure are taken. In traditional bridges, the adjacent teeth that will support the bridge (abutment teeth) are carefully reshaped to an appropriate form for the bridge's placement. This step ensures that the prosthesis offers a natural appearance and function.
3. Fabrication and Application of the Bridge: According to the impressions taken, a custom bridge prosthesis is prepared in the laboratory. The prepared bridge is permanently placed on the abutment teeth or implants. Final checks and adjustments are made to ensure the bridge fully conforms to the oral structure in terms of aesthetics and function. Any discomfort is addressed, prioritizing the patient's comfort and ease of use, and the treatment is completed.
