Tooth-Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis in Stockholm – Crown and Bridge Planning Explained<\/h1>\n\n

Tooth-supported fixed dental prosthesis in Stockholm<\/strong> at Gloss & Floss Dental Care® means a fixed dental restoration that is supported by natural teeth. It can include a single crown on a weakened tooth or a fixed bridge that replaces one or more missing teeth by using neighbouring teeth as support.<\/p>\n\n

This page explains the technical side of fixed dental prosthesis, including crowns, bridges, abutment teeth, pontics, bridge support, hygiene, bite forces and how tooth-supported FDP compares with dental implants and removable dentures.

Quick answer – what is a tooth-supported fixed dental prosthesis?<\/h2>\n

A tooth-supported fixed dental prosthesis, often shortened to FDP, is a non-removable dental restoration supported by natural teeth. It may be a crown that protects one tooth or a bridge that replaces a missing tooth by connecting to neighbouring teeth. It differs from an implant-supported restoration, which is supported by implants in the jawbone, and from removable dentures, which can be taken out by the patient.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n

\n

What does “tooth-supported” mean?<\/h2>\n

Tooth-supported means that the restoration gains its support from natural teeth rather than from dental implants or removable denture bases. In a single crown, the prepared tooth supports the crown. In a bridge, the neighbouring support teeth carry the replacement tooth between them.<\/p>\n\n

This distinction matters because the long-term result depends on the strength, position, gum health and bite load of the supporting teeth. A tooth-supported fixed prosthesis can be a very effective solution, but only when the supporting teeth are suitable.<\/p>\n\n
