Bridges are typically made from porcelain or ceramic, which gives them a natural appearance. While bridges are most commonly used to replace missing back teeth, they can also be used to replace front teeth.
The decision to place a bridge on the front teeth or back teeth depends on several factors, including the number of missing teeth, the position of the adjacent teeth, and the patient's bite.
Your dentist can help you decide if a dental bridge is right for you.
If your bridge is supported by dental implants, then it is possible to add additional pontics to lengthen the bridge. However, if your bridge is supported by your natural teeth, then it is not possible to lengthen the bridge without damaging the supportive teeth. If you are interested in lengthening your dental bridge, then the best course of action will be checking your options with your dentist.
Dental bridges are usually made of porcelain or ceramic, and they can last for many years with proper care. However, the lifespan of a dental bridge will depend on a number of factors, including the type of materials used and the location of the bridge.
Front teeth are subjected to more wear and tear than back teeth, so a bridge on front teeth may not last as long as a bridge on back teeth.
In addition, bridges that are not made of high-quality materials may break or chip more easily than those made of stronger materials.
