π¨ Bridge Failed in Just 3 Yearsβ¦ Hereβs Why
A patient recently came to SmileSparks Dental with a broken dental bridge.
On evaluation:
π 12-unit bridge (21β18)
π Supported by only 2 teeth
π Broke exactly at the junction
This isnβt unexpected β itβs poor planning leading to predictable failure.
βΈ»
β οΈ When too many teeth are replaced with too little support, the load becomes excessive.
The result? Fracture, damage, and costly re-treatment.
βΈ»
π¦· What should have been done?
β Proper treatment planning
β Adequate support (often with implants)
β Well-designed crowns instead of overloading few teeth
βΈ»
π‘ At SmileSparks, we believe:
π We would rather miss an opportunity than do compromised dentistry.
Quality dentistry is not cheap β but failed dentistry is always more expensive.
