What are molar dental bridges?

A molar dental bridge is a type of fixed dental restoration used to replace missing molars. These bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, filling the gap left by the missing molar. Here's a quick breakdown: How do molar dental bridges work? The adjacent teeth are prepared by reshaping them to support the bridge. Once placed, the bridge restores both function and appearance. Why choose a molar dental bridge? A molar bridge helps restore chewing ability, prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, and maintains facial structure. It also enhances the smile's aesthetics. How long do molar dental bridges last? With proper care, molar bridges can last 10-15 years or more. Are molar bridges comfortable? Yes, when custom-made, molar bridges fit comfortably and function like natural teeth. Are molar dental bridges permanent? Yes, they are fixed and cannot be removed without professional assistance.
