A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. As the name suggests, a bridge requires support from a tooth or teeth adjacent to the gap.
A dental bridge is a simple and effective solution as a fixed replacement for missing teeth.
Bridges can be made to match the appearance of your existing natural teeth for normal eating, confident speech and a happy smile.
Is a dental bridge right for me?
A dental bridge relies on the strength and integrity of adjacent healthy teeth. If you have already had dental restoration work or gum problems, your dentist may need to consider other treatment options.
What is the procedure for a dental bridge?
If a dental bridge is right for you, the treatment is completed over two appointments. The dentist will prepare the supporting teeth.
Your dentist will then take impressions of your teeth, allowing the dental laboratory to create a custom-made replacement tooth. Porcelain is a popular choice for its natural tooth colour.
On your return visit, your permanent bridge will be fitted in place.
How long does a bridge last?
With regular care, dental bridges are a strong and long-lasting replacement for lost teeth. Your dentist will show you how to look after your bridge at the end of your treatment.
