Are you a novice when it comes to all things tooth replacement related? Or, do you happen to have some specialized knowledge in the area of dental prosthetics? Let’s begin with choosing a dental bridge for your missing teeth – do you know whether you qualify or what to expect? Allow us to help you identify your current level of knowledge (or provide you with a bit of new education) with an information-packed quiz.

Bridge Quiz: How Well Do You Know Bridges?

  1. True or False: A bridge is the same thing as a partial denture – it’s just another term.
  2. True or False: A dental bridge should last for approximately 10 to 15 years, provided you practice excellent preventive care.
  3. True or False: For the most part, bridges require the same dental hygiene you usually practice for your pre-tooth-loss smile.

Quiz Answers

  1. False. A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that can replace up to three missing teeth in a row. A partial, though it also replaces multiple missing teeth, is removable and can address most patterns of tooth loss.
  2. True. One of the major benefits of a bridge is the fact that it stays in place all day, every day, often for a decade or longer. Keep up with your hygiene, exams, and cleanings and the bridge will provide you with years of wear.
  3. True. With the exception of needing to floss between your bridge and your gums, your hygiene will remain the same – brushing, flossing, and preventive care appointments.
