Fixed bridge prosthesis

Fixed bridge prosthesis, what is it?

Fixed dental bridges are a non-removable structure consisting of several crowns connected to each other. Dental bridges are installed in the absence of one or several teeth, and it is important to have at least two supporting teeth, one on each side.

Additionally, dental bridges can be installed on teeth when all teeth are present, for example, for splinting (strengthening) mobile teeth.

Dental bridges can be installed on both front and back teeth.

Indications for installing bridges

• missing one or more teeth

• for the purpose of splinting teeth of varying degrees of mobility

In the iStomatolog Center, bridges are made by milling from zirconium dioxide. It is possible to manufacture all-zirconium structures, as well as combined structures - when ceramic lining is applied to the zirconium frame.

Contraindications for the installation of bridges

absence of three or more teeth

• mobility of abutment teeth

• for the manufacture of a bridge prosthesis, it is necessary to have at least one support on each side, in the absence of one of the supports - a bridge is not made

• gum disease (periodontitis)

• lack of space when advancing the teeth of the opposite jaw towards the missing ones

If there are contraindications for the installation of a bridge prosthesis, other methods are used to compensate for lost teeth: the installation of implants, the manufacture of removable dentures, orthodontic and surgical treatment.

In the iStomatolog Center, bridges are made by milling from zirconium dioxide. It is possible to manufacture all-zirconium structures, as well as combined structures - when ceramic lining is applied to the zirconium frame.

Stages of manufacturing bridges in dentistry iStomatolog

1 Stage

Examination of the oral cavity, analysis of computed tomography data, planning.

Choice of the number of abutment teeth; determination of the need for treatment or re-treatment of root canals, the need for the manufacture of religious inlays and the installation of pins in the teeth. The choice of material from which the bridge will be made. It can be made entirely of zircon, lithium disilicate (E. max), or have a zirconia framework on which ceramic will be deposited. Drawing up a plan of visits with financial arguments for each stage.
2 Stage

Preparation of the abutment teeth of the bridge

Treatment and/or retreatment of root canals; making inlays, installing pins. At the same stage, it is possible to remove the roots of destroyed teeth.
3 Stage

Scanning teeth

Scanning with an intraoral camera of both jaws.
4 Stage

Modeling the bridge

Modeling in a computer program of a bridge prosthesis. Составление плана посещений с финансовой аргументацией каждого этапа.
5 Stage

Milling

A computer program transmits a three-dimensional image of the bridge to a milling machine, which cuts the bridge out of special zirconium or lithium disilicate blanks.
6 Stage

Crystallization

Baking a milled bridge in a special oven under high temperature and pressure. As a result, the structure of the material changes, it becomes very durable and able to withstand high chewing loads (up to 1100 MPa).
7 Stage

Individualization and glazing

Applying dyes and ceramic masses to the finished bridge with further baking in a high-temperature oven. Finally, all crowns in the bridge structure are polished.
8 Stage

Fixing the finished prosthesis on the teeth

The cementation of the bridge is carried out on light-cured materials. I pre-treat the bridge with hydrofluoric acid and apply a special glue (bonding). In conclusion, the doctor checks the quality of the closure of the teeth and the fit of the crowns to the teeth.

Despite the large number of stages involved in the entire process of preparing teeth, manufacturing a bridge, and fixing it in the oral cavity, it can be completed within one day. This is especially relevant in cases of unforeseen breakage of old bridges or crowns, or tooth trauma.

In one day, the dentists at iStomatolog clinic in Kiev can perform root canal treatment, make inlays and install pins, remove a broken root or tooth, and install a new bridge-like prosthesis.

If there are cysts on the teeth, we can also treat the root canals, start the process of treating the tooth cyst, and make a temporary bridge.

All stages are performed by your doctor, which allows for high-quality work.

Advantages of installing bridge-like prostheses at iStomatolog

  • Perfect fit to the teeth (due to the fully computerized manufacturing cycle), which eliminates the destruction of tooth roots under crowns.
  • Complete biocompatibility with gum and tooth tissues.
  • High aesthetics.
  • Strength comparable to similar metal structures.
  • Durability.
  • Healthy gum tissue around the teeth with crowns without the grayish-blue edge characteristic of metal-ceramics.

    How much does it cost to install a bridge-like prosthesis?

    The procedure for prosthetics with a bridge-like prosthesis consists of several stages:

    Therapeutic: treating root canals, installing pins in tooth roots, creating cult inlays;

    Surgical: removing damaged teeth;

    Prosthetic: installing the actual bridge-like prosthesis, which can consist of 3 or more crowns.

    The total price of a bridge-like prosthesis depends on the need for preparatory work and the number of crowns in the bridge-like prosthesis.

    A detailed estimate of the production of a turnkey bridge-like prosthesis is possible only after examining the oral cavity and teeth and analyzing X-ray studies.

    FAQ

    The cost of dental prosthetics primarily depends on the type of prosthesis: removable or fixed. Fixed prostheses include crowns, veneers, overlays, the cost of which, in turn, depends on the material used (ceramic, zirconia, metal-ceramic, E.max). At iStomatolog Center, we always try to offer the patient several options for prosthetics at different price points, with descriptions of drawbacks, advantages, and future prospects.
    The manufacture of a removable prosthesis (plastic or clasp) takes about 7-10 working days. A crown "turnkey" can be made within 2-3 hours in one visit. Total prosthetics with crowns (all teeth) takes at least a month, and if temporary crowns are needed, more than a month (for example, with increased tooth wear and the need to raise the bite, intermediate temporary crowns are made).
    Dental prosthetics can be removable (plastic, acrylic, clasp prostheses) and fixed (crowns, veneers, overlays, bridge prostheses). Fixed prostheses can be temporary (made of plastic or PMMA) and permanent (ceramic, zirconia, metal-ceramic, E.max). Crowns can be made on teeth or implants. In the case of implantation on an edentulous jaw, a temporary removable plastic prosthesis is made during the period of implant integration. The optimal type of prosthetics can only be suggested by a doctor, taking into account the clinical situation.
    The best prosthetics are those selected for a specific clinical situation, allowing for full restoration of chewing function with high aesthetic characteristics. The best dental prosthetics should first and foremost improve the patient's quality of life.
    When recommendations for use and care are followed, the service life of removable prosthetics ranges from 3 to 10 years, while non-removable prosthetics can last 10 years or more. The service life of a prosthesis can be both increased and decreased. For example, two patients have crowns on two adjacent teeth, but the first patient has all teeth on both sides, and the chewing load is evenly distributed among all teeth - in this situation, the crowns will last up to 20 years. The second patient has no chewing teeth on one side, so the chewing load is distributed among the remaining teeth, including those with crowns, and these crowns will last less than 10 years. The service life of a prosthesis also depends on the condition of the tooth it is attached to, the presence of gum disease, and other factors.

    Срочно нужно было получить квалифицированную помощь из-за травмы ребёнка, обратилась в эту клинику и не пожалела. Доктор Дышловая Ирина Сергеевна - и по телефону, и на консультации, и при лечении была максимально профессиональна. На рецепции девочки приятные. Вобщем, рекомендасьон 👌🏻
    С 2007 года iStomatolog наша семейная стоматология. Почему? Потому что кто лучше делает своё дело, если оно семейное и уже в третьем поколении. Я пришёл по рекомендации моего друга Антона на приём к Ларисе Викторовне. Она сказала мне сразу: «я не вырву не одного зуба если за него можно бороться» Пол года лечения и сейчас у меня только раз в 6 месяцев профилактика. Супруга, дочь, моя мама (83 года) все доверили свои зубки iStomatolog. Правда уже Елена Сергеевна (старшая дочь Ларисы Викторовны) руководит клиникой. Строгая, но наверно так и надо, а то мы всегда пытаемся отсрочить, откладываем на потом профилактику, а потом выкладываем огромные деньги что бы спасти уже гнилой зуб. В этой стоматологии принцип очень простой: делай качественно, относись к людям по человечески, предупреди заранее (ну ведь забываем и «забиваем» на это). Многие подумают заказная статейка. Нет, просто мне повезло, я нашёл тех кому не безразлично мое здоровье и посчитал своим долгом перед Вами, рекомендовать стоматологию iStomatolog.
    Я доглядаю зуби в цій клініці майже 15 років, і це про щось та говорить. Свого молодшого сина також привела сюди ще з першими зубками.

    Всі лікарі уважні, професійні, з щирою турботою про пацієнта. Запам'яталось, як мені років п'ять тому довго і терпляче спасали майже безнадійний зуб, зіпсований в іншій клініці — спасли, стоїть свій зуб, а міг би вже бути імплант.

    Дуже рекомендую.
    I would like to express my deep gratitude to Elena Sergeevna Dainetskaya. We have been treating teeth with the whole family for more than 10 years and we thank God that we have fallen into these wonderful hands! A very professional and competent doctor, kind, sensitive and always worried about his patient. There would be more such doctors in our medicine!I wish you health, success and prosperity in your work.I RECOMMEND iStomatolog clinic and Dr. Elena Sergeevna to everyone.
    Так случилось, что в "iStomtolog", я попал по настоятельной рекомендации побратима. Имея, без преувеличения, огромные проблемы с зубами, могу вас уверить, это место где вам реально помогут! Теперь по выполненным работам: поснимали камни и налет, пролечили каналы, поставили 8 коронок и 1 винир, 3 импланта. Объем работ просто огромный. Хочу поблагодарить Елену Дайнецкую и всю ее команду за профессионализм, позитив и замечательную домашнюю атмосферу в клинике.
    Професіоналізм на вищому рівні, дуже гарно працюють а також затишно та комфортно,всім рекомендую
    Отличная стоматология. Быстро и качественно оказывают услуги, ничего лишнего не навязывают. Вежливый и обходительный администратор. Очень рекомендую. Теперь по всем зубным вопросам только туда.
    Nice clinic. Very attentive doctors, very nice people. Competent in their job. All procedures, implantation, crown installation in 1 day, filling - everything is absolutely performed according to the protocols. The clinic is clean, tea and coffee will be offered. Protection against covid is carried out - everyone is wearing masks, shoe covers, the temperature is measured. Thank you very much to Maxim Valerievich, Elena Dainetskaya, Lidia Vladimirovna. We wish you prosperity!
    С удовольствием рекомендую клинику и желаю Елене и компании всевозможных профессиональных и прочих жизненных успехов! Спасибо за профессионализм и внимательность.
    Что такое профессионализм? Это в высшей степени компетентность, уверенность и любовь к своей работе. «Не боюсь и доверяю» - это, пожалуй, определение собственных ощущений от лечения у Елены Дайнецкой. Мой выбор - iStomatolog и никто другой!!!
