Adhesive Dental Bridges in Litomyšl

Minimally invasive tooth restoration in Nova Smile Dental Clinic

What is adhesive prosthetics

Adhesive prosthetics at Nova Smile dental clinic in Litomyšl is a modern and minimally invasive method for replacing missing teeth without significant grinding of adjacent teeth. This approach is ideal for small gaps (loss of 1–2 teeth), offering a fast and aesthetic way to restore your smile. At Nova Smile, we most often use Maryland-type bridges — lightweight structures fixed with special adhesive materials.
Our prosthodontists carefully examine your dental condition and preferences to choose the best solution. If you’re looking for a gentle and effective method to restore your smile, book an appointment for adhesive bridges at Nova Smile in Litomyšl today.

Types of adhesive bridges

While we mainly use Maryland bridges, there are several options depending on the structure and fixation method:

  • Traditional Maryland Bridges
    A compact prosthetic with an artificial tooth bonded to neighboring teeth using “wings” – thin plates made of composite or metal. Minimal or no preparation is required (0.5–1 mm), preserving tooth structure. Ideal for replacing a single front tooth or premolar with low chewing load.

  • Maryland Bridges with Fiberglass
    Instead of metal wings, a fiberglass ribbon is bonded into shallow grooves (up to 2 mm) on the inner surfaces of the supporting teeth. This improves aesthetics and makes the bridge almost invisible — perfect for the front area.

  • Temporary Adhesive Bridges
    Made of composite and used as a short-term solution before permanent prosthetics (e.g., implant placement). Easy to insert and remove, while maintaining aesthetics during preparation.

Materials we use for adhesive prothetics

  • E-max Ceramics
    ✔ Strength up to 500 MPa
    ✔ Highly translucent and natural-looking
    ✔ Ideal for the visible front zone
    ✔ Lifespan: 10–15 years

  • Zirconia (Zirconium Dioxide)

    ✔ Extremely strong (up to 1000 MPa)
    ✔ Suitable for bridges under higher load
    ✔ Lifespan: 15–20 years

  • Composite Hybrids (Cerasmart, Enamic)
    ✔ Flexible and wear-resistant
    ✔ Blend of ceramic and composite
    ✔ Ideal for bridge wings or artificial teeth
    ✔ Cost-effective, lasts 7–12 years

  • Fiberglass
    ✔ Lightweight and strong (up to 800 MPa)
    ✔ Used as ribbon or wing material
    ✔ Invisible in the mouth
    ✔ Lasts 5–10 years, depending on stress

  • Metals (Chrome-Cobalt)
    ✔ Durable (up to 20 years)
    ✔ Used for bridge wings in budget options
    ✔ Less aesthetic – covered with composite in visible zones

  • Dental Composites

    ✔ Affordable option for temporary bridges
    ✔ Easy to apply, but less durable (5–7 years)
    ✔ Can discolor over time

Preparation for adhesive bridges

  • Diagnostics: X-ray, orthopantomogram, or CT with 3D modeling for accurate planning.

  • Oral Sanitation: Treatment of caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, gum diseases.

  • Professional Cleaning: Ultrasonic or Air Flow plaque removal.

  • Tooth Preparation: Enamel preparation for fixed prosthetics, possible root canal treatment.

  • Surgical Preparation: Removal of unsuitable roots, exostoses, frenulum correction.

  • Implant Placement (if needed): Implant placement and healing (3–6 months).

  • Allergy Tests: Checking sensitivity to materials and anesthetics.

All bridges are fabricated using CAD/CAM technology for precise fit and fast delivery (1–2 visits).

CAD/CAM technology (Computer-Aided Design / Computer-Aided Manufacturing) allows us to design and create precise dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, veneers, and inlays, directly in the clinic with exceptional speed and accuracy.
