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  <section>\n    <h2 style=\"color:#111111;\">What does &ldquo;tooth-supported&rdquo; mean?<\/h2>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">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    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">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    <ul style=\"color:#222222;\">\n      <li><strong>Fixed:<\/strong> the restoration is cemented or bonded and is not removed by the patient.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Tooth-supported:<\/strong> natural teeth carry the restoration.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Prosthesis:<\/strong> the restoration replaces or rebuilds missing or damaged tooth structure.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Planning-dependent:<\/strong> the result depends on tooth strength, bite, gum health, hygiene and material choice.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <hr style=\"border:0;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:32px 0;\">\n\n  <section>\n    <h2 style=\"color:#111111;\">Key terms: crown, bridge, abutment tooth and pontic<\/h2>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">Many patients hear technical words during prosthetic treatment planning.

It may be a crown on one tooth or a bridge replacing one or more missing teeth.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">Is an FDP the same as a bridge?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">Not always. A bridge is a type of fixed dental prosthesis, but FDP can also refer to other fixed restorations such as crowns depending on the context.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">What is an abutment tooth?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">An abutment tooth is a natural tooth that supports a bridge or fixed prosthesis. Its health and strength are critical for long-term success.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">What is a pontic?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">A pontic is the artificial replacement tooth in a bridge. It fills the missing-tooth space and must be designed for function, comfort and cleanability.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">What is the difference between tooth-supported and implant-supported prosthesis?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">A tooth-supported prosthesis is supported by natural teeth. An implant-supported prosthesis is supported by dental implants placed in the jawbone.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">Is a tooth-supported bridge better than an implant?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">It depends. A bridge may be suitable when neighbouring teeth already need crowns. An implant may be better when adjacent teeth are healthy and implant conditions are favourable.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">Does a tooth-supported bridge damage neighbouring teeth?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">A traditional bridge usually requires preparation of neighbouring teeth. This can be appropriate if those teeth need crowns, but it may be less ideal if the adjacent teeth are healthy.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">Can an FDP replace several missing teeth?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">Sometimes, but the number of missing teeth, location, bite forces and strength of supporting teeth must be assessed carefully. Longer spans may need implants or other planning.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">Can a tooth-supported FDP be removed?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">It is fixed and not removed by the patient. If removal is needed, it must be assessed and managed by a dentist.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">How do I clean under a fixed bridge?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">You may need bridge threaders, superfloss or interdental brushes to clean under the pontic and around the abutment teeth. Your dental team will show you the correct technique.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">What happens if an abutment tooth gets decay?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">Decay around an abutment tooth can compromise the bridge. Early assessment is important if you notice sensitivity, food trapping, bad taste, gum bleeding or looseness.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">Do I need a night guard with an FDP?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">If you grind or clench, a night guard may be recommended to protect the prosthesis and supporting teeth from excessive forces.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">Can crowns and bridges in an FDP be whitened?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;\">No. Ceramic crowns and bridges do not whiten like natural teeth. If whitening is planned, it should usually be discussed before final shade selection.<\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"color:#111111;background:#f8f1df;border-left:4px solid #c8a45d;padding:12px 14px;border-radius:8px;\">How long does a tooth-supported FDP last?<\/h3>\n    <p style=\"color:#222222;margin-bottom:0;\">Longevity depends on supporting teeth, material, bite forces, hygiene, gum health and regular follow-up. Good cleaning and maintenance are essential.<\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tooth-Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis in Stockholm &ndash; Crown and Bridge Planning Explained Tooth-supported fixed dental prosthesis in Stockholm at Gloss &amp; Floss Dental Care&reg; means a fixed dental restoration that is supported by natural teeth.
