Dental Bridge Survival
I am getting a 4 unit dental Bridge for upper front teeth. The middle two will be pontic and the ones outside will be crowned. I want to know approximately how long can I expect it to last with proper care of oral hygiene and won't bite any hard things or even soft things with it for the most part (Kindly give number of years as answer if possible). Also how likely is it that it will come off suddenly or without any warning signs?
Hello sir !
As per your query , you will get a fixed dental prosthesis for your upper front teeth or a 4 unit bridge.
Alot of factors determine the survival of a fixed dental prosthesis.
1. Tooth preparation
2. Condition of the abutment
3. Adjacent teeth
4. Soft tissue health
5. Marginal and internal fit of the bridge
6. Type of cement used
7. Maintenance by home care methods
As per studies survival rate of 85% of fixed dental prosthesis is 7-8 years.
Next Steps
Warning signs could be
1. mobility of the bridge
2. foul smell
3. pain on biting
