Dental bridges are an excellent solution to fill gaps if you only have one or two teeth missing.
Gaps between teeth can cause cosmetic, bite, and disease issues. A bridge is a fixed appliance that fills these spaces, restoring your smile, oral health, and confidence.
What is a bridge?
The adjacent teeth either side of your gap are used as support to hold in place a replacement tooth. Depending on the size of the gap one or two teeth may be used as support.
Are there different types of dental bridges?
Bridges can be attached to your adjacent teeth in a number of different ways:
- Conventional: Crowns are placed on one or both of the adjacent teeth to support a replacement tooth.
- Resin bonded: The replacement tooth has a metal wing attached to it. This is strongly bonded onto the back of your adjacent supporting tooth. The wing is completely hidden restoring your natural smile.
- Implant-retained: Implants are used as support instead of your natural teeth.
