Bridges use abutment teeth – ie, the healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth – as support for a new replacement tooth.
Dental bridges are a more structurally sound alternative to dentures. Because bridges create ‘false’ teeth that function just as well as natural teeth, they won’t impact your speech or ability to eat certain foods, allowing you to live life to the full again.
Plus, they will help to prevent further moving amongst your healthy teeth and protect your gums from harm.
Bridges are typically recommended in cases where between 1 and 3 teeth need to be restored.
Quality dental bridgework relies on gaining a thorough understanding of the issues you’re currently facing, and how we can create a structure that restores all the functionality you’re lacking.
First of all, we will carry out a full assessment that will involve a 3D scan of your teeth. We will send this information to our lab team, who will create a bespoke bridge that fits the gap in your smile perfectly.
While we’re waiting for your custom dental bridge to arrive, we will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap and fit a temporary structure so you can talk and chew as normal until we’re ready to invite you back for your procedure.
It usually takes just 30 minutes to fix the permanent bridge. You can expect it to last between 5 and 10 years, as long as you brush your teeth regularly and attend regular check-ups with our team.
