Dental Bridge Lifespan
I am getting 4 Unit dental Bridge on upper front incisors wherein the middle two will be pontic and the outer two will be crowned. I am getting this Bridge after my braces treatment so my bite is proper and I don't have any bruxism or grinding habit. Also I don't have any oral disease and my crowing teeth are healthy. I want to know for how long can I expect my Bridge to last if I don't put much stress on it and take proper care of it at home. (Kindly give answer in number of years if possible, also I am getting zirconia Bridge)
Hello sir....
The lifespan of your bridge depends on your maintainance only....Dont bite any hard substances and you should maintain good oral hygiene...if you follow all these then it will be long lasting for 15 years also.... The crown will get loose after 2 years due to wear away of cement... At that time you need to refix it with cement....
