🚨 Bridge Failed in Just 3 Years… Here’s Why
A patient recently came to SmileSparks Dental with a broken dental bridge.
On evaluation:
👉 12-unit bridge (21–18)
👉 Supported by only 2 teeth
👉 Broke exactly at the junction
This isn’t unexpected — it’s poor planning leading to predictable failure.
⸻
⚠️ When too many teeth are replaced with too little support, the load becomes excessive.
The result? Fracture, damage, and costly re-treatment.
⸻
🦷 What should have been done?
✔ Proper treatment planning
✔ Adequate support (often with implants)
✔ Well-designed crowns instead of overloading few teeth
⸻
💡 At SmileSparks, we believe:
👉 We would rather miss an opportunity than do compromised dentistry.
Quality dentistry is not cheap — but failed dentistry is always more expensive.
