Bridges

Bridges are utilised when you have lost one or two teeth on one side of your mouth.

Bridges restore a full smile and improve chewing and speaking function, giving way to increased confidence and emotional well-being.

The restorative benefits of a dental bridge

Consisting of two crowns supporting a false tooth and bridging the gap between your existing teeth, a bridge allows you to eat while protecting exposed gum and tooth surfaces in and around the gap. It also supports your existing teeth, helping them to stay in correct alignment, which allows you to avoid problems due to an incorrect bite.

Once your bridge is fixed in place, there won’t be gum tissue exposed to irritation, and gum recession will be less likely. This makes you less vulnerable to decay. Put simply, replacing missing teeth is worthwhile for your oral health.

Creating your bridge

Your custom-made bridge is created from impressions of your teeth to ensure the fit corresponds with your mouth shape and the shade of your existing healthy teeth. The adjacent teeth are prepared, and the bridge is placed firmly in position.
