What causes a dental bridge to break or fail?
A dental bridge can last for up to a decade. You may need dental bridge repair due to:
- Lack of proper oral hygiene
- Changes to supporting teeth
- Tooth grinding
- Habits like chewing on a pen or pencil
- Lack of routine visits to your dental provider, which can help you catch and avoid dental bridge problems
- Impact injuries, such as a car accident or fall
More FAQs
Can a dental bridge be repaired?
Sometimes! Depending on the type of failure you’re dealing with, we may be able to repair the bridge. For example, if the break is minor, it can often be repaired by dental bonding. However, if the dental bridge has a more severe problem, it may need to be replaced.
How much does it cost to fix a dental bridge?
The cost to fix a dental bridge will vary based on the type of repair you need. It’s also possible that you may need to replace your dental bridge or invest in a completely different solution.
What to do if a dental bridge falls out?
It’s rare, but if your bridge has fallen out, seek immediate help. Schedule an appointment and keep the bridge in a safe place until your visit. If the dental bridge is bonded to your front tooth, seek same-day care.
