Dental Bridges for Missing Teeth

What are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed row of false teeth that is cemented onto the natural teeth or implants on either side of a gap. It “bridges” the empty space, letting you chew, speak and smile normally again. Bridges can be made from porcelain, zirconia or metal-ceramic and are colour-matched to your own teeth. The goal is to replace missing teeth without removable dentures, giving you a permanent solution that looks and feels natural. Because the bridge is glued in place, you brush and floss it just like you do it on your real teeth, so, no nightly soaking, no clicking sounds. Each false tooth (pontic) is shaped to touch the gum gently, so, it looks as though it grows from your jaw.

• ✔ One or two missing teeth in a row
• ✔ Teeth lost to injury, decay or gum disease
• ✔ Sunken cheeks caused by missing back teet
• ✔ Difficulty chewing meat or hard foods
• ✔ Speech changes due to gaps
• ✔ Drifting of neighboring teeth into the empty space
