If you’re looking for a simple, quick and affordable way of replacing a lost or severely decayed tooth, look no further than a dental bridge.
What exactly is a dental bridge and how does it work?
A dental bridge is an effective tooth replacement treatment that consists of a unit of crowns used to bridge the gap between two teeth. A traditional fixed bridge is made up of a false tooth, called a pontic, which is sandwiched between two crowns. The crowns are anchored by the healthy teeth surrounding the gap.
Bridges can be matched to the natural tooth shade to create a seamless aesthetic and treatment usually requires just 2 sessions, which are scheduled around 2-3 weeks apart. Every bridge is custom-made to ensure a perfect fit. We use tooth-coloured ceramic to create beautiful smiles.
The benefits of replacing missing teeth with a bridge
Missing teeth can contribute to an increased risk of oral health issues linked to the look of the smile. Gaps can also affect the clarity of speech and make eating more difficult. When you have spaces in the smile, you may also find that the remaining teeth start to slip out of position.
Bridges offer a host of benefits, as the treatment process is simple, you can see results after just a couple of weeks and you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come. Provided that they are well cared-for, bridges can last up to 15 years. Bridges are less expensive than dental implants and the process is simpler and faster. They are also easier to maintain than dentures.
If you have a missing tooth, a dental bridge could help to restore your smile and increase your confidence. Why not call and make an appointment to find out more today?
