Dental Bridges

When a tooth is lost due to decay or gum disease, a fixed dental bridge is a good way to restore the missing tooth. A dental bridge can be thought of as a false tooth, and can be used to replace a single missing tooth, or several adjacent teeth. With careful maintenance a well-made bridge can last many years. The bone in the jaw surrounding the missing tooth or teeth can continue to recede.

Dental Bridges are fixed in place so that they cannot be removed easily. Many denture wearers who swap to a bridge comment that they enjoy increased confidence to laugh or smile without worrying about the bridge moving.

Dental Bridges are individually made by a dental laboratory technician who will characterize the porcelain to match the rest of your teeth. This allows the bridge to be natural looking and usually undetectable to your friends and family.
