Fixed Partial Dentures (FPD)
Book An Appointment
Welcome to the world of dental restorations with Fixed Partial Dentures (FPD) – a durable and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth and enhancing both function and aesthetics.
Why Fixed Partial Dentures?
FPDs, commonly known as dental bridges, are recommended when patients have one or more missing teeth. This fixed dental appliance not only restores your smile but also improves chewing efficiency and maintains the alignment of adjacent teeth.
How is it Done?
Assessment: Your dentist assesses your oral health, examines the condition of the adjacent teeth, and discusses the optimal design for the dental bridge.
Tooth Preparation: If necessary, the adjacent teeth are prepared by removing a small portion of enamel to accommodate the dental crowns that will anchor the bridge.
Impressions: Precise impressions of your mouth are taken to create a custom-fitted bridge that matches the color and shape of your natural teeth.
Temporary Bridge: While the permanent bridge is being fabricated, a temporary bridge may be placed to protect the exposed teeth.
Permanent Placement: Once the custom bridge is ready, it is permanently bonded or cemented onto the prepared teeth, creating a stable and functional restoration.
Post-Care Tips:
Oral Hygiene: Maintain regular and thorough oral hygiene practices, including flossing around the bridge, to prevent plaque buildup and ensure gum health.
Regular Check-ups: Schedule routine dental check-ups to monitor the condition of the FPD and address any concerns.
Advantages of Fixed Partial Dentures
Stability: FPDs are securely anchored to adjacent teeth, providing stability and preventing movement.
Aesthetic Restoration: Fixed bridges offer a natural and seamless appearance, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your smile.
Improved Function: The restoration of missing teeth improves chewing efficiency and maintains proper dental alignment.
