What is a Fixed Bridge Prosthesis?

A fixed bridge prosthesis is a modern dental treatment that replaces one or more missing teeth with prostheses fixed to adjacent teeth. It closes gaps caused by missing teeth, providing both an aesthetic smile and proper chewing function. Thanks to its fixed structure, it does not need to be removed and can be used safely for many years.

The treatment process generally includes the following steps:

1. Detailed Examination and Planning: The condition of the missing teeth and the health of the surrounding teeth are assessed. Bridge planning is carried out using X-rays and digital measurements.

2. Preparation of Teeth: The teeth that will support the bridge are minimally reduced and made suitable for the prosthesis.

3. Bridge Production and Application: The bridge, prepared in the laboratory, is designed to match the shape and colour of the teeth. It is then permanently fixed to the teeth.

4. Check and Final Touches: The fit of the bridge with the teeth, its aesthetic appearance and chewing function are meticulously checked. Minor adjustments are made if necessary. Fixed bridge prostheses can be used on both front and back teeth and effectively address the aesthetic and functional losses caused by missing teeth. With their natural appearance and long-lasting construction, they are one of the reliable solutions in modern dentistry.
