Dental bridges are a reliable solution to fill the gaps caused by one or more missing teeth, helping you regain both function and aesthetics. Our team of skilled dental professionals is dedicated to crafting high-quality dental bridges that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth.

With a focus on precision and personalized care, we ensure that your dental bridge provides long-lasting durability and comfort, allowing you to speak, chew, and smile with confidence.

When one single tooth is lost, it is expected that five or more other teeth may shift or move. For this reason, it is important to replace a missing tooth as soon as possible. Dental bridges may be the solution. Leaving the space may also cause other problems, teeth may drift into the space changing your bite, and this may result in a sore jaw, gum disease, or tooth decay due to difficulty cleaning the teeth.

Dentistry offers several types of dental bridges, which can be made of durable porcelain, gold, or composite materials. There are three main types of dental bridges:

1. Traditional fixed bridges: this is the most commonly used type of bridge and consists of two cosmetic porcelain crowns that are anchoring the porcelain teeth or implants.
2. Resin-bonded bridges: this is an option when the gap to be filled is in between the front teeth and when the adjacent teeth on either side of the missing tooth do not have large fillings. The false tooth has two metal bands that are bonded to the adjacent teeth.
3. Cantilever bridges: these are mostly used for the front teeth as they are susceptible to lower stress. Cantilever bridges are used when the teeth present only one side of the space, as anchorage.

Bridges are recommended when there are one or more teeth missing that affect your:

• Smile and appearance.
• Bite, as a result of adjacent teeth leaning into the space and altering the way the upper and lower teeth bite together.
• Speech.
• The shape of your face.
• Gum disease and tooth decay, as a result of food accumulated in the gap.

Dental bridges can last 10-15 years provided that you maintain good dental hygiene and eating habits.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Traditional methods to replace a missing tooth or teeth include the fabrication of a bridge.
• To replace a missing tooth with a bridge, at least one tooth on either side of the space created by the missing tooth must be prepared for a crown. Then a false tooth is joined to the crowns, and the entire structure is cemented to the prepared teeth.
• The patient cannot remove the bridge, special aids are available to keep it clean.
• For those patients that suffer from dental anxiety, we offer Conscious Sedation to help you feel more relaxed during treatment.
