The diagnostic protocol for dental bridges at Liv Hospital is a rigorous, multidisciplinary process that synthesizes clinical examination, advanced radiographic imaging, and digital analysis. The goal is to determine the feasibility of a fixed prosthesis by evaluating the structural integrity, periodontal health, and biomechanical capacity of the prospective abutment teeth. We do not merely look at the space; we assess the entire stomatognathic system to ensure the proposed dental bridge solution functions harmoniously with the patient’s neuromuscular and skeletal physiology. This phase is critical for distinguishing candidates for traditional bridging from those who might benefit more from dental implants and bridges or other restorative modalities.
The foundation of the diagnostic phase is a detailed intraoral and extraoral examination.
Imaging provides the sub-surface data necessary for treatment planning.
The longevity of a dental bridge depends on its integration into the patient’s bite.
Parafunctional Habits: Signs of bruxism (grinding) or clenching are noted. These habits exert massive forces that can fracture porcelain or loosen cement bonds. Patients with these habits may require zirconia dental bridges for their superior strength and a protective night guard.
For cases involving the aesthetic zone, specifically dental bridge front teeth, digital tools are employed.
A comprehensive risk profile is generated for each patient.

Generally, no; loose teeth lack the bone support to handle the extra chewing force of a bridge and will likely fail quickly; splinting or implants may be better options.
You don’t always need one, but if the abutment tooth has deep decay or if the preparation for the bridge comes close to the nerve, a root canal may be necessary to prevent pain and infection.
Typically, a bridge replaces one or two missing teeth; longer spans (3 or more) are risky because they put too much stress on the anchor teeth and often flex, leading to failure.
A bridge is cemented permanently in place and feels more like natural teeth, whereas a partial denture is removable, has clasps, and can be bulkier.
Usually, standard X-rays are sufficient, but a 3D scan might be used if the anatomy is complex or if the doctor is deciding between a bridge and an implant.
