Designing your bridge

In its most basic form, a 3-unit bridge includes:

  • the pontic or replacement tooth
  • two abutments on either side of the pontic

Neighbouring abutment teeth must be crowned to provide support to the pontic. A portion of the natural tooth is reduced and shaped, which makes room for the crown. The pontic and crowns are fused together and bonded as a single piece to existing tooth structure.

Considering bridges?

Dr. Kotecha may recommend this approach, especially if you lack sufficient bone structure for dental implant-supported bridges. Bridges are also a cost-effective alternative to dental implants.

Dentistry on 10 appreciates porcelain bridges for their lifelike characteristics; however, the team doesn’t limit your choices. Porcelain-fused-to-metal offers both a tooth-like appearance and lasting durability and strength.

Well-established restorative treatments are appreciated for being low-maintenance. Bridges require a little TLC, but Dr. Kotecha and her team are happy to show you how to clean under and around the bridge. Some patients take to using a floss threader. Others prefer interdental brushes to remove food debris and plaque before it hardens. With proper cleaning, your bridge can last for a decade or longer.

Alternatives

Modern dental implants are also within reach at Dentistry on 10, even for those patients who have suffered bone loss or are on a fixed budget. Dr. Kotecha’s services include bone grafting to build up the foundation for your implant-supported teeth. All-on-4 systems allow for maximum support with minimal implants, thanks to the strategic placement of as little as 4 implants per upper or lower jaw.

Procedure – Gum Disease Testimonial

Hi, my name is Naren. I have been coming to dentistry on 10 for at least five years, probably a lot longer than that. I first heard about Doctor Rena, through a friend of mine who was my roommate back in college and the, the, thing that attracted me to her right off the bat is she went to Harvard of course, you know Harvard is one of the top schools in the world, so you know studying at Harvard and Learning dentistry Harvard, I’ve never met anybody who went to Harvard, so that was the number one thing. But when I came here, it’s not the Harvard that I ended up staying here for. It’s because she’s a very caring person and she has a team that really is caring. So, for example, you know I, I, have some health conditions and you know taking care of my gums is really, really, important and I’m like not that good at taking care of myself. So you know she just, just, stuck with me, just kept at me and, you know, just taught me things and talk to me about things and you know. And when I did, you know, kind of mess up and you know, get gum disease again. You know she you know, stuck with me. So, like for me personally, I know people come for dentistry for lots of reasons, some people you know, care about their smile and things like that. For me personally, it’s the health because I have a history of health issues in my family and I know the importance of, you know, taking care of your gums and you overall mouth and health so I would strongly recommend Doctor Rena if you really care about your health. If you really want somebody who’s not just trying to, you know, give you things you don’t need, but really, who’s trying to focus on what’s good for you, helping you achieve your goals. She’s very caring, very, very patient, very, very, gentle and, and, she’s there for you. So, it’s almost like having a partner in health who’s working with you to make your life better. So, we all need it, and especially as we get older when we are in our 40s and 50s, we need to take care of our health and without doctor Rena I don’t think I would have the comes I have and I don’t think I would be working on my health. Thank you very much Doctor Rena and I would, absolutely without a hesitation, recommend anybody and my entire family comes here as well as my two kids and My wife. So, thank you for being an amazing dentist and thank you for caring about people who live in the neighbourhood and their health.
