Dental Bridge

What is a dental bridge?

If you have missing teeth, your dentist can close — or bridge — the gaps in your smile with dental bridges. A dental bridge is a false tooth (called a pontic) that is held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Although pontics can be made from a variety of materials such as gold, typically they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth.

Dental bridge types

There are four main types of dental bridges:

  • traditional
  • cantilever
  • Maryland
  • implant-supported

 

Traditional dental bridge

A traditional dental bridge consists of a false tooth or teeth being held in place by dental crowns that have been cemented onto each of the abutment teeth. A traditional bridge is the most popular type of dental bridge and can be used when you have natural teeth on both sides of the gap created by your missing tooth.

 

Cantilever dental bridge

Although similar to a traditional bridge, the pontic in a cantilever dental bridge is held in place by a dental crown that is cemented to only one abutment tooth. For a cantilever bridge, you only need one natural tooth next to the missing tooth gap.

 

Maryland dental bridge

Similar to a traditional bridge, Maryland dental bridges employ two natural abutment teeth, one on each side of the gap. However, while a traditional bridge uses dental crowns on the abutment teeth, a Maryland bridge uses a framework of either metal or porcelain that is bonded onto the backs of the abutment teeth.

Like a traditional bridge, a Maryland bridge can only be used when you have a natural tooth on each side of the gap caused by the missing tooth or teeth.

 

Implant-supported dental bridge

As the name implies, implant-supported bridges use dental implants as opposed to crowns or frameworks. Typically, one implant is surgically placed for every missing tooth, and these implants hold the bridge in position. If one implant for each missing tooth isn’t possible, the bridge may have a pontic suspended between two implant-supported crowns.

Considered the strongest and most stable system, an implant-supported bridge commonly requires two surgeries:

  • one to embed the implants in the jawbone
  • a second surgery to place the bridge

It can take a number of months for the procedure to be completely finished.

What does a dental bridge cost?

There are many variables that can affect the price including:

  • number of teeth needed to fill the gap
  • materials used, such as composite resin, zirconia, or metal alloy covered in resin
  • complexity/difficulty of the placement
  • additional treatments for other dental issues, such as gum disease

 

The costs also depend on the type of bridge that you select:

  • Traditional or cantilever bridges typically cost €100 for one pontic and a crown for each abutment tooth.
  • Maryland bridges typically cost €100€150 for one pontic with the framework, or wings, attached to the abutment teeth.
  • An implant-supported bridge could cost €150€500 for a bridge with two dental implants spanning three or four teeth.

 

Dental bridge vs. dental implant

Many dental insurance plans cover bridges, and many now cover implants as well. A dental bridge may need to be replaced every 5 to 15 years, depending on proper care, while implants are considered a permanent solution. There are factors that can reduce the life of all types of bridges, including implants, such as dental hygiene.

Why do I need a dental bridge?

When you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, it can affect you in a number of ways. A dental bridge can address those changes, including:

  • restoring your smile
  • restoring the ability to properly chew
  • restoring your speech and pronunciation
  • maintaining the shape of your face
  • re-adjusting your bite to properly distribute the force when you chew
  • preventing your remaining teeth from moving out of the correct position

Outlook

If you’re missing a tooth or a number of teeth, you have different replacement options to discuss with a dentist. There are many benefits to using dental bridges, and there are many factors — including costs — that you should consider before making a decision.

How much are dental implants in Republic of Moldova?

What is a dental implant?

Did your dentist tell you that you need a dental implant, but you’re not sure what a dental implant really is, or what a dental implant includes? Missing one or more of your teeth creates an imbalance in your smile, affects your ability to chew properly, and can change your eating habits, which leads many to become undernourished by eating the wrong foods just because they are easy to eat. If a tooth remains missing for too long, it can lead to bone loss in your jaw, which will further complicate the need to get dental implants.

When you lose a tooth, your mandible begins to contract and becomes fragile from lack of function. When this happens, a bone graft is often necessary before an implant can be placed.

Losing a tooth affects your smile. Losing several teeth can affect the proportions of your face causing you to appear older and unhealthy.

Dental implants are effectively replacement teeth with dental screws introduced into the bone to provide extended reinforcement and support for crowns and dentures. Dental implants are the cutting-edge of tooth replacement. Most dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth and are often much stronger. Today’s implants osseointegrate with your bone to give support for crowns and dentures. In other words, a dental implant will actually allow bone to grow through it, so that the implant becomes as strong as a regular tooth…perhaps stronger.

Dental Implant Pricing:

In the USA and Canada, a dental implant can cost anywhere from $4000-$6000. This includes the implant post or screw, abutment and crown…depending on the materials. The cost for a complete dental implant with a high quality post, abutment and crown of porcelain, eMax or zirconia in Republic of Moldova’s  Sanelen DENT Dental Clinic will cost €200 to €400.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

  • Maintain and Preserve Your Jaw Bone
  • Look Younger…and Feel Self Confident
  • You Only Get One Smile…Keep It Looking Good!

Dental Implants are light, strong, compatible with living tissue and are made from titanium, the safest material in dental and oral implants.

Choose from individual dental implants, implant-supported fixed bridges, or implant-supported dentures! For more precise pricing, fill out the find a dentist form on this site. And we will contact you to discuss your need and more exact pricing for your procedures.

What are the parts of a dental implant?

1. DENTAL IMPLANT:

The implant or fixture is the titanium screw like cylinder surgically inserted into bone that acts as an anchor for a crown to replace the missing tooth. Implant screws work like natural tooth roots. An implant takes between three to six months to integrate to bone. The average price of a dental implant in Republic of Moldova varies from €200 to €400.

2. ABUTMENT:

The abutment is the part that passes through the gum into the mouth and is attached onto the dental implant fixture or screw. There are temporary abutments, prefabricated abutments (straight, angled), custom abutments (zirconia, titanium, various other metals; milled, and cast types); and abutments to use for overdenture attachments.

The cost of the abutment ranges from €50 to €150 in Republic of Moldova Sanelen DENT Dental Clinic.

3. RESTORATION:

The restoration, prosthesis or superstructure is the part that sits above the gum on one or more abutments to restore the space caused by missing teeth. This part can be cemented or screwed onto the abutment. The prosthesis may be a single tooth, multiple teeth or a denture held in place by implants:

Dental implants with a crown

Dental implants are placed into the bone in a pain-free procedure. The bone and gums will be given time to heal before a crown are attached. In most cases, a temporary crown will be placed during the same appointment the implant is placed. An implant porcelain crown is often fused to precious metals, non-precious metals or zirconia. Prices range from €50 to €200 depending on the materials used.

Multiple Teeth or Full Mouth Restorations

If all upper or lower teeth are missing, it is possible to place multiple dental implants to support a denture. Due to bone shrinking, traditional dentures become loose and unbalanced over time. Dental implant supported dentures maintain bone so they stabilize in your mouth. Depending on the materials used to manufacture your dentures (acrylic, ceramage, and porcelain) and the amount of implants placed (4 to 6), the prices will vary. In the USA, a full mouth restoration can cost €35,000-€60,000. In Moldova, high quality full mouth restorations can cost from €3,000 to €5,000.

Why is it okay to find dental caries in time?

Dental caries are one of the most common dental conditions suffered by millions of people worldwide and, according to Ipssoss Marketing in 2015, more than 80% of people have caries. But what are dental caries and why should they be discovered and treated until it is too late?

Caria is the most common dental condition. This occurs when bacteria in the oral cavity produce tooth-attacking, untreated, which can cause infections and may even lead to loss of tooth. Once it has passed the enamel, the caries move faster through the dentin and reach the pulp, causing inflammation and infection.

The most prone parts of the caries are the teeth surfaces that make up the bite and the teeth areas, the place where food remains often and where the toothbrush gets harder.

At first, it does not show any symptoms. Pain or blackheads on teeth begin to appear when the caries lengthen. The main sign of the appearance of a dental caries is their color. Colors, either in the form of a stain or in the form of a dot, may be the beginning of a dental caries and should be kept under observation.

Pain is also a sign of the appearance of a dental caries. If the patient hurts, there are chances for the root to be affected.

And the unpleasant smell of your mouth may signal the presence of an unwanted carriage. That is why if a patient has an unpleasant smell, they should go to the dentist for an emergency.

Like any dental disease detected early, and cavities are much easier to treat at an early stage when they do not affect the root.

How to treat caries?

In the early stages of dental care, the dentist applies fluoride to the affected area, which helps stop the caries and remineralize the tooth. However, in order for the problem not to evolve, it is necessary to maintain strict hygiene using a fluoride toothpaste. Later, channel fillings are performed after the infection site is properly cleaned.

Learn more about dental implants

Dental implants radically improve the patient’s quality of life, as it restores aesthetics and dental functions to natural teeth. Whether you need to replace a tooth, teeth, or teeth, whether you have the bone foundation needed for the implants or your bone is atrophied and need to add and regenerate the experience of the Sanelen DENT Dental Clinic, guarantees a well-done treatment with results for decades.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are currently the best and most effective solution for lost teeth replacement.

Whether we lose a tooth, many teeth or even all teeth, implants and modern implantology techniques can do wonders. Thus, patients no longer have to sacrifice natural teeth to anchor dental bridgework, they no longer use mobile prostheses that create permanent discomfort, but they can benefit from fixed teeth, anchored on implants, that look and feel at just like natural teeth.

The dental implant is a pure titanium piece, screw-shaped. It is meant to create an artificial root in the maxillary bone, where the tooth or natural teeth are missing.

Reconstruction is made up of two segments – an intraosy (implant) and a superusive one called prosthetic tuft.

A crown, a bridge or a denture is anchored above the prosthetic bust.

Treatment is conservative compared to a traditional bridge work because dental implants eliminate the need to kill adjacent teeth. If we are making a dental bridge, it needs to have anchorage of at least 2 teeth, the teeth that will unfortunately be sacrificed (the nerves are extracted, the channels are squeezed and the teeth that formerly were healthy).

Restoring teeth to implants brings extraordinary aesthetic and functional benefits, and the patient does not perceive the ‘artificial’ feeling. Shortly after insertion, the patient forgets that he lost a tooth in that place.

Personal experience is defining when choosing your doctor or clinic where you want to be treated. That’s why the words can be superfluous and it’s best to convince yourself, programming yourself right now on our phones or the form on the site. And do not forget for a moment that an educated patient is an informed patient!
