Bridges are custom-made from impressions of your mouth. Using a digital scanner, we can create a bridge that fits the proportions of your mouth and existing healthy teeth. The shade of the crowns that make up your bridge is balanced with your existing teeth, which means it won’t look any different to your natural teeth.
A dental bridge is a tooth replacement treatment to bridge gaps on one side of the mouth.
How Will a Dental Bridge Benefit Me?
- Economical solution for missing teeth.
- It is fixed in place.
- Lasts for between 10-15 years.
- Restores your bite and chewing ability.
- Bridges help maintain your facial muscle tone.
- Fills out the cheek area.
What Type Of Dental Bridges Are There?
- Traditional Fixed Bridge
– This bridge consists of two (or more) crowns, which keep the bridge in position. They are generally made of porcelain and metal or ceramics. - Fibre Reinforced Composite Bridge (FRC Bridge)
– FRC bridges are bonded directly to anchor teeth with strong ‘ever stick’ material. With an FRC bridge, neighbouring teeth on either side of the gap are unaffected by its placement. This makes this type of bridge conservative. The missing tooth is created using composite white filling material. - Implant Bridge
– Using implants, this type of bridge is fixed in position, stimulating the jaw.
