Seoul Lab Dental Clinic provides durable, esthetic dental bridges to replace missing teeth, restore chewing function, and maintain smile integrity. Serving both local and international patients in northern Seoul, our team combines careful planning, high-quality materials, and patient-focused care for reliable results.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to adjacent natural teeth (abutments) or implants. Bridges restore functionality, prevent shifting of neighboring teeth, and preserve facial shape.

When Do You Need a Bridge?

You may be a candidate for a dental bridge when you have:

  • One or more missing teeth in a row
  • Healthy adjacent teeth that can support a bridge
  • Limited bone for implants or prefer faster treatment
  • Desire to restore chewing, speech, and esthetics

In some cases, implant-supported bridges may be recommended for stronger support and long-term stability.

Bridge Types & Materials Offered

  • Traditional Fixed Bridge: Uses crowns on abutment teeth with pontic(s) in between.
  • Cantilever Bridge: When only one adjacent tooth is available to support the bridge.
  • Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridge: Uses metal or ceramic wings bonded to back of neighboring teeth — more conservative for small gaps.
  • Implant-Supported Bridge: Pontics mounted on implants rather than relying on natural teeth.

Materials we offer:

  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): Trusted durability with esthetic porcelain exterior.
  • Full Ceramic / Zirconia: Highly esthetic, strong, and biocompatible ideal for visible areas.
  • All-Ceramic: Best for esthetic zones when translucency and color match are critical.

Our Bridge Procedure (Step-by-Step)

  1. Consultation & Examination — Review your dental and bone condition, neighboring teeth, bite, and treatment options.
  2. Preparation of Abutments — Shape the adjacent teeth (or prepare implants) to receive crowns or attachments.
  3. Digital Scan or Impression & Shade Selection — Accurate modeling and color matching for seamless integration.
  4. Temporary Bridge Placement — Protects the area while the permanent bridge is fabricated.
  5. Try-In & Adjustment — Test fit, check contacts, bite, and aesthetics before final cementation.
  6. Final Cementation / Attachment — Secure the bridge in place, ensure proper function and comfort.
  7. Follow-Up & Maintenance — Monitor health of supporting teeth and bridge integrity over time.

Why Choose Seoul Lab Dental Clinic for Bridges?

  • Precision Fit & Occlusal Balance: Ensuring proper bite to avoid issues like wear or sensitivity
  • Esthetic Integration: Shade-matching and material choice that blend naturally with your smile
  • Comprehensive Treatment: Combine with implants, veneers, orthodontics, or gum care under one roof
  • Patient-Centered Care: Comfortable procedures, multilingual support, clear explanations
  • International Patient Experience: Help with scheduling, paperwork, and post-treatment guidance

Aftercare & Longevity

  • Practice excellent oral hygiene—brush, floss (especially under pontics), and use interdental brushes
  • Avoid biting very hard foods directly on the pontic
  • Attend regular dental cleanings and checkups
  • Replace bridge if supporting teeth weaken or periodontal issues occur

With proper care, a dental bridge can last many years or even decades.

Bridge vs. Implant — Which Is Better?

  • Bridge: Faster, less invasive, uses neighboring teeth, good for many common gaps
  • Implant: Independently supported, preserves bone, avoids altering adjacent teeth

Your dentist can help determine which option is more appropriate based on bone, adjacent teeth health, cost, and your preferences.
