WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING DENTAL BRIDGES IN MEXICO?
It is important for you to know what having a dental bridge means before you undergo this treatment. So, let’s get started by telling you: what is the main function of a dental bridge? The main function of a bridge is to fill, cover or replace the space left by a missing tooth using a bridge composed of 3, 4, 5 crowns units or even a full arch prosthesis (also known as a fixed arch bridge).
Why Would I Need A Dental Bridge?
The loss of a tooth, for any reason, can have different consequences both cosmetic and functional. That’s where a dental bridge enters, to prevent any of the following possible problems: increased risk of decay, increased risk of gum disease, speech problems, loss of bone and support for muscles, tilting of teeth on either side of the space, and wear on other teeth.
Benefits of Having a Dental Bridge
- Restore your bite, and ability to chew
- Stop other teeth moving or over-erupting
- Reduce the risk of TMJD
- Prevents future facial changes
WHICH TYPE OF FIXED DENTAL BRIDGE IS THE BEST FOR ME?
The answer is simple, tooth bridges and resin-bonded bridges have the same function, which is to replace a missing tooth. While implant-supported bridges are used mostly when your jaw bone is severely damaged or you have a big amount of missing or decayed teeth.

DENTAL BRIDGE PROCESS IN MEXICO
Each type of dental bridge has a different process to be delivered, in this process explanation, we will focus on a tooth bridge or resin-bonded bridge.
The process for an implant-supported bridge is explained in more detail in the implant treatment, visit dental implants for more information about this treatment.
1st Visit
Teeth Preparation
For the dental bridge to be placed (either tooth bridge or resin bonded), we have to prepare the following teeth on both sides to hold a crown or the resin bonding.
Bridge Preparation
At the same time we start preparing your teeth, we will start fabricating the bridge with the material of your preference (zirconia or porcelain) using our most advanced technology, CAD/CAM equipment.
Custom-Fit
Our dentists will take the shade and shape of your natural teeth and imitate them in your dental bridge. So they look as aesthetic as your natural teeth being completely custom-fit.
Temporary Bridge
In most cases, we will need to place a temporary bridge or crowns in surrounding teeth to maintain their function when biting or chewing.
2nd Visit
Sedation
Anesthetic takes part two times during the whole procedure which is when the teeth are being prepared, and when the permanent bridge is placed.
Placing Permanent Bridge
The procedure will start by removing the temporary bridge and placing dental glue on the shaped teeth so, after it, we can put the permanent bridge.
Cementing Bridge
For this last phase, the tooth will be restored with dental glue. Then we will measure the position of the tooth on both sides to place the bridge in the most accurate way.
IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTAL BRIDGES COST
In terms of prices, implant-supported bridges are a bit higher due to the need of dental implants besides the crowns used (three or four).
Now speaking of full arch implant bridges, these are only offered in case you already have your dental implants placed and need a full arch bridge either made of zirconia, ceramic, or acrylic (the cost rises depending on the material).
