A dental bridge is a permanent solution for bridging gaps between teeth, in which missing teeth are replaced with high-quality ceramic. It rests on adjacent teeth, which serve as abutments, and is designed to blend seamlessly into the existing dentition - visually unobtrusive and functionally convincing. Dental bridges are one of the best-researched and most proven methods of fixed dentures and offer a reliable alternative to conventional methods. In our practice, we specialize in fixed dentures.
On this page, we will provide you with comprehensive information so that you can make an informed decision as to whether a dental bridge is the right solution for you. You can also find out how we make the decisive difference for our patients.
How we bridge gaps between teeth
How we bridge gaps between teeth
Eine Zahnbrücke besteht aus mehreren Komponenten: den Brückenpfeilern und dem Brückenglied. Die Brückenpfeiler sind die natürlichen Zähne oder Implantate auf beiden Seiten der Lücke, die als Stützen dienen. Sie werden präpariert und mit Kronen versehen, um die Brücke zu halten. Das Brückenglied ist der Teil der Brücke, der den fehlenden Zahn ersetzt. Es besteht in der Regel aus Hochleistungskeramik, die für ihre Langlebigkeit und Ästhetik bekannt ist, und wird fest zwischen den Brückenpfeilern verankert. Eine Zahnbrücke ist eine nicht herausnehmbare Konstruktion, die fest mit den Pfeilerzähnen verbunden ist und eine dauerhafte Lösung für Zahnlücken bietet.

In modern dentistry, there are various types of dental bridges that are suitable for different clinical situations. The classic dental bridge has been tried and tested for generations and is particularly stable. Another variant is the adhesive bridge or Maryland bridge, which is a minimally invasive alternative for the anterior region and does not require extensive grinding of the adjacent teeth. For more extensive tooth replacement solutions, we offer implant-supported bridges that rest directly on implants and do not put any strain on the natural teeth. Each of these types of bridge has its own specific advantages, which we will be happy to explain to you in detail so that you can make the best choice for your individual situation.
The classic dental bridge
The classic dental bridge
The picture shows a case from our practice in which a central incisor was extracted after an accident and replaced with a dental bridge. The patient already had crowns on the upper four front teeth. After the extraction of the damaged tooth, a long-term temporary restoration was inserted as a temporary bridge to close the gap. After a six-month healing period, a final bridge was fabricated that blended seamlessly into the existing row of teeth. The photos show the aesthetic integration of the bridge, which is barely visible and blends harmoniously into the gums so that the patient does not feel any difference to their natural teeth.

A gentle and aesthetic solution
A gentle and aesthetic solution
The adhesive bridge, also known as a Maryland bridge, is a modern, minimally invasive solution for replacing individual teeth, especially in the anterior region. This bridge is attached without grinding the adjacent teeth using a thin ceramic wing that is bonded directly to the adjacent tooth. This technique is gentle on the tooth structure and is ideal for patients who are looking for a minimally invasive and aesthetic solution. An example from our practice shows how an adhesive bridge effectively closes a gap without affecting the neighboring teeth and blends in perfectly with the patient's natural smile.

Optimal solution for extensive dentures
Optimal solution for extensive dentures
Implant-supported bridges offer a permanent solution for extensive tooth replacement. They are attached to dental implants, which are firmly anchored in the jawbone and thus form a stable base for the bridge. This type of bridge is particularly suitable for patients with severe tooth loss. In our patient's case, advanced periodontitis led to the loss of several teeth. After removing the damaged teeth, we placed several implants to which the ceramic bridges were attached in order to restore a complete, functional and aesthetically pleasing set of teeth.

Understand the difference
Understand the difference
Fixed dental bridges and removable dentures are completely different tooth replacement solutions. While fixed bridges are permanently attached to the abutment teeth or implants and feel and function like natural teeth, removable dentures are placed on the mucous membrane. This offers less comfort and stability. Fixed bridges are particularly durable and offer maximum comfort and functionality thanks to their permanent attachment.

The decision to have a dental bridge is an important step that needs to be carefully considered. At our practice, we take the time to carefully weigh up all the pros and cons of this treatment option against alternative methods such as dental implants. This includes a comprehensive medical assessment of your current dental condition and detailed advice on possible risks and benefits. For dental bridges in particular, we also look at the long-term prognosis and the effects on the adjacent natural teeth to ensure that you make the best possible decision for your individual situation.

Fastening a dental bridge is a crucial step in ensuring the longevity and comfort of the new teeth. In our practice, we use modern dental adhesives that create a permanent bond between the bridge and the abutment teeth or implants. This process ensures that the bridge is firmly and permanently attached and can withstand daily stresses such as chewing and speaking.

The path to a dental bridge
The path to a dental bridge
If a dental bridge is required to replace an existing tooth, we ensure a smooth and comfortable treatment. Immediately after the tooth has been gently removed, a long-term temporary restoration specially made using CAD/CAM technology is inserted. This temporary restoration protects the gums during the healing phase and also serves as a placeholder for the final bridge. Once healing is complete, usually after 6 months, we fabricate the final dental bridge, which is then firmly anchored in the mouth and offers a functional and aesthetic solution.

Decision support
There are often two good options for replacing missing teeth: Dental bridges and implants, each of which offer specific advantages and may be suitable depending on the patient's individual situation. The decision to have a bridge or implant should be made after careful consultation with a specialist and taking into account the condition of the adjacent teeth, bone structure and personal preferences. For more information, please visit our dedicated information page where we explain the differences, advantages and disadvantages as well as the treatment process in more detail.

Tips for long-lasting health
Tips for long-lasting health
Daily care of your dental bridge is crucial for its longevity and functionality. For the outer surfaces of the bridge, we recommend regular brushing with an electric toothbrush to thoroughly remove plaque and food debris. Using a toothpaste containing fluoride strengthens the tooth enamel and prevents tooth decay. A special dental floss with a fixed end is ideal for cleaning the spaces between the teeth, especially under the bridge, in order to clean these areas thoroughly and minimize the risk of gum disease.
