Adhesive bridge prosthesis - restoration of the functionality and aesthetics of the dentition without grinding the supporting teeth
An adhesive bridge prosthesis is a gentle method of restoring a lost tooth at a significantly lower cost compared to implantation. Like a classic bridge, an adhesive structure is held in the dental arch by attaching it to adjacent (supporting) teeth. However, its installation does not require grinding their enamel. Therefore, this type of prosthesis can be used even when the teeth adjacent to the "gap" are completely healthy. After all, there is no need to cut healthy enamel.
Such structures are attached to the inner surface of the supporting teeth using a special adhesive material (adhesive). This method is especially effective when replacing a single front tooth, when aesthetics and enamel preservation are of paramount importance.
The orthopedists at Club 32, a family dental clinic in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, have many successful cases of manufacturing and installing adhesive dental bridges for patients of all ages in their portfolio. Such structures are especially relevant when there are contraindications to implantation.
We practice an individual approach to prosthetics – we develop a unique treatment plan for each patient, allowing us to manufacture and install an adhesive bridge taking into account their specific characteristics and wishes at an affordable price. In addition, you can pay for prosthetics in installments and without overpaying. We will do everything to restore your comfort and self-confidence.
Methods of installing an adhesive bridge
The choice of fixation method depends on the clinical situation and the condition of the supporting teeth.
Fixation using fiberglass tape
Fiberglass tape provides strength and flexibility to the structure. It is fixed to the inner surface of the supporting teeth using composite material, after which an artificial tooth is formed. This method is suitable for restoring one or two teeth, especially in the front of the dental arch.
Use of metal or ceramic veneers
In this case, metal or ceramic veneers are made and glued to the inner surface of the supporting teeth. Metal veneers provide high strength, while ceramic veneers provide better aesthetics. This method is used when it is necessary to restore chewing teeth with increased load.
Use of composite material
Composite material is used to directly model an artificial tooth in the patient's mouth. After preparing the supporting teeth, the composite is applied in layers, forming the desired shape and color. Additionally, reinforcing fiberglass tape can be used to connect the supporting teeth and increase the load-bearing capacity of the structure. This method allows you to quickly restore a lost tooth without the need to manufacture a structure in a laboratory.
Fixation with special cement
Special dental cement is used for the long-term fixation of metal-ceramic bridge prostheses. After preparing the supporting teeth and fitting the structure, the cement is applied to the inner surface of the overlays, ensuring a strong connection with the teeth. This method ensures reliable fixation and durability of the prosthesis.
How adhesive dental bridges are made and installed
The installation procedure is simple, quick, and virtually painless. The entire process usually takes no more than a week and requires a maximum of two visits to the clinic.
Here's what it consists of:
- Initial consultation
- The orthopedic dentist assesses the bite and condition of the adjacent teeth and selects the appropriate type of adhesive bridge
- Preparation of abutment teeth
- No grinding is required
- The inner surface of the teeth is lightly polished for secure fixation
- Taking impressions or 3D scanning
- Precise modeling of the structure is performed
- Data is sent to the laboratory
- Bridge fabrication
- The structure is created individually based on a digital or physical model
- Modern materials are used, combining aesthetics and durability
- Fitting and adjustment (if necessary)
- The dentist checks the fit and bite
- Necessary adjustments are made
- Fixing the structure and final consultation
- The bridge is attached to the teeth using a special composite adhesive
- The full adhesive technique protocol is followed
- The reliability of the fixation is checked
- Care recommendations are provided
The entire process is supervised by experienced dentists in a comfortable environment.
Advantages and disadvantages of adhesive bridges
Pros:
- The tissues of the supporting teeth are preserved
- Quick installation
- Aesthetic appearance
- Lower cost compared to implants
- No surgery required
Cons:
- Not suitable for all cases (not recommended for installation in the chewing area)
- Less durable and shorter service life compared to implants
- It is recommended to avoid excessive stress
However, with proper care, an adhesive bridge lasts 5-8 years and remains a reliable option for tooth restoration.
How to care for an adhesive bridge?
To extend the service life of the structure, it is recommended to:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft toothbrush
- Use an irrigator
- Avoid excessive biting, especially with hard foods
- Visit the dentist every 6 months for preventive checkups
At Club 32, patients receive individualized care recommendations. This helps maintain oral health and prevent complications.
