BRIDGES
DENTAL BRIDGES
A dental bridge can be an ideal solution for missing teeth.
Bridges and crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants by a dentist or prosthodontist. Bridges are commonly used to cover a space if you’re missing one or more teeth. They are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the space where the tooth once stood.
If you require a more extensive restoration than a crown or have more than one tooth that needs to be repaired, a good solution may be a dental bridge. Here is how they work:
-
Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base, which gives them a solid structure and makes them hard-wearing. If you need a bridge in your smile line, porcelain is usually added to the base to make it look more like real teeth.
-
A bridge helps to strengthen the prepared teeth and makes chewing and eating easier because they are fixed and can't come out.
-
Some bridges can also be fixed to your jaw with dental implants, if you have several teeth next to each other that are missing.
Once you have a bridge fitted, you will have to take extra care during your daily hygiene regime to ensure it stays plaque free and does not cause bad breath.
