Dental Bridge

What is a Dental Bridge?

A Dental Bridge is a false tooth or teeth which are used to fill a gap where a single tooth or more are missing, giving you back the functionality of your bite once more. Bridge work is a dental treatment used to replace missing teeth and will improve not only the functionality of your teeth but also the appearance of your smile and of course your confidence.

A dental bridge is made using a very strong ceramic material and may be made to replace one or more missing teeth which is held in place by the two healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Sometimes it is necessary to crown the supporting teeth so they are strong enough to support the bridge work.

A Maryland Bridge otherwise known as an adhesive bridge does not cause damage to the neighbouring teeth in order to remain in place.  Alternatively a bridge can also be removable but if it is cemented into place this is known as a fixed bridge, which is a good solution if the supporting teeth on either side are crowned.
