Our tooth replacement restorations such as bridges are made to withstand all the actions your teeth go through every day.

Our cosmetically minded team of dentists and dental technicians are driven by their desire to create a natural bridge that integrates with your natural dentition, smile, and facial aesthetic.

What Is a Bridge?

A bridge is a foundation for replacing missing teeth. It is comprised of crowns and false teeth and uses the support of healthy natural teeth to sit in position, ‘bridging’ the gap (or gaps’) in your teeth.

FAQs

What Types of Bridges Are There?

  • Maryland bridge: small-framed bridge made of metal or porcelain. This is attached to teeth on either side of the gap. These can often be used in scenarios where tooth enamel does not need to be removed for placement.
  • Adhesive bridge: the false tooth is bonded with a metal wing to the inside surface of a healthy tooth.
  • Cantilever bridge: anchored on one side rather than two. Suitable when only one natural tooth is available to support your bridge.

The type of bridge used will depend on where the gaps in your smile are located, the strength of the teeth on either side of the gap and your preference for materials.
