Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a long lasting treatment (10-15 years) for people with single or multiple (adjacent) tooth loss.
Missing teeth can dramatically affect a person's appearance and also cause speech impediments thus affecting their self-esteem. 

A fixed option to replace a missing tooth or teeth

If you have missing teeth, we can create a permanent 'bridge' appliance to replace the missing teeth. Not only does a bridge fill the missing space, thereby giving you back a complete smile, it will also prevent the teeth on either side of the space from shifting. It also stops the tooth that chews with it from drifting into the space.

A ‘fixed’ bridge is permanently joined onto the neighboring teeth on either side of the gap, and consists of three basic units: the false tooth or teeth and two crowns. If healthy adjacent 'anchor' teeth aren't available, a surgically implanted metal post or dental 'implant' may be an alternate choice.
