DENTAL BRIDGES IN COLOMBIA: REPLACE A MISSING TOOTH AND SAVE UP TO 75%

Are you considering dental bridges in Colombia to replace a missing tooth? This comprehensive guide explains everything you need to know about dental bridges—from the procedure and benefits to cost and aftercare. Dental bridges provide a natural, durable solution to restore your smile at a fraction of the cost.

I’m Dr. Rodríguez, a General and Cosmetic Dentist in Cartagena, Colombia, specializing in creating beautiful, confident smiles for patients worldwide. Let’s explore how dental bridges can help you achieve the smile you deserve.

WHAT IS A FIXED DENTAL BRIDGE?

A fixed dental bridge is a restorative treatment designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of crowns that attach to your natural teeth, filling the gap with lifelike artificial teeth. With a fixed dental bridge, you can enjoy improved chewing function and renewed confidence in your smile.

WHEN ARE DENTAL BRIDGES RECOMMENDED?

Dental bridges are ideal when your natural teeth are strong enough to support the bridge. Consider a dental bridge in these situations:

• Time-Sensitive Needs: 
  Unlike dental implants, which may require several appointments over 3-6 months, a dental bridge can be completed within 5-7 days—ideal for international patients on a tight schedule.

• Medical Considerations: 
  If you’re not a candidate for dental implants due to insufficient jawbone or health conditions, dental bridges provide an excellent alternative.

• Existing Dental Work:
  If neighboring teeth already require crowns, a bridge efficiently restores both aesthetics and function.
