Cosmetic Bridges
A bridge is made by putting crowns on the teeth on either side of the damaged, broken or missing tooth, with an artificial tooth secured firmly in the middle. Once in place, a bridge is permanent if looked after properly, so you’ll have no problems with biting or chewing for instance. As well as tooth-coloured bridges, we can also create one for you using a gold-coloured crown if you fancy making a bold and fashionable statement with your smile.

Treatment Process
what is a bridge?
A bridge uses the neighbouring healthy teeth or dental implants for support to effectively “bridge” the space created by a missing tooth. It consists of a substitute tooth (also known as a “pontic”) to cover the gap itself and two crowns that rest on top of the teeth next to it.
During the preparation and fitting phases, the dentist may numb the area using local anaesthetic and use dental tools like drills, imprint trays and dental adhesives.

Perfect Fit Bridges Achieved Every Time
Treatment Process
Step 1
The dentist will prepare the abutment teeth by removing a small portion of their enamel to accommodate the dental crowns. An impression of the prepared teeth and surrounding gums will be taken to create the dental bridge in a dental laboratory.
Step 2
The dentist will place a temporary bridge over the prepared teeth to preserve the patient's smile and protect them while the permanent bridge is being created.
Step 3
The dentist will remove the temporary bridge once the permanent one is ready and then attach the permanent bridge to the abutment teeth. The dentist will assess the fit and make any required modifications.
Step 4
Once the perfect fit is achieved, the dentist will securely position the bridge using a strong dental adhesive, ensuring its stability and long-lasting placement.
Our Goal Is To Make Your Visit A Positive One
FActs & Questions
How long do dental bridges last? Dental bridges can last five to seven years. With good oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings, the bridge may last more than 10 years.
Patients who have gingivitis, periodontal disease, or other infections should not use dental bridges. They may result in bruising and gum damage. First, seek treatment for other dental problems.
Bridges are aesthetic dental devices that can fill in a gap left by a missing tooth or teeth. Bridges can restore the natural shape of teeth and the ideal relationship between the upper and lower teeth in the bite. Because they are custom-made, they are hardly detectable.
Although bridges might occasionally become looser with use, your dentist can readily re-cement them. The likelihood of your bridge falling out is extremely slim because they are made to last.
