4756357_blogHave you been struggling with a missing tooth for a while? Have you recently had an accident or lost a tooth and are wondering what to do about it? If you have missing teeth, we can help! Our dental bridges are a fast, effective and simple solution for lost teeth.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a very popular treatment for missing teeth. The aim of this treatment is to bridge the dental gap between two teeth when a tooth has been lost. The most common kind of dental bridge is a fixed dental bridge, which consists of a false tooth, which is stuck in place by a dental crown on each adjacent side, but it is also possible to get a bridge to replace a tooth with healthy teeth on one side of the gap only; this is known as a cantilever bridge and the bridge is anchored by a crown or two crowns on one side.

Dental bridges are custom-made with the process speedy and completely hassle-free. Once the impression of the teeth has been created, it is sent away and the bridge is crafted by amazing dental technicians. Once it’s ready, it can then be fitted and secured firmly into place.

How long does a bridge last?

Bridges are not a permanent solution, but they do last for a long time. If you care for your bridge well, it should last around 10-15 years.

What are dental bridges made from?

Dental bridges, like crowns, can be made from a variety of different materials. We find that ceramic bridges are very fashionable because they match up with the natural teeth and you can’t tell the difference between the false tooth and the natural teeth. It is also possible to make bridges from precious metals, including gold.
