Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a prosthetic tooth secured by two crowns on either side, and attached to the neighbouring teeth. A dental bridge is a popular solution for individuals who have gaps in their teeth as it restores the appearance of their smile and allows for proper biting and chewing function.

Why Do I Need a Dental Bridge?

Leaving gaps in your teeth can lead to misalignment of the surrounding teeth. This can cause bite issues and hinder your teeth’s proper chewing function resulting in chipped teeth, severe pain, and jaw problems. Bridges are a good solution to fill the gaps between teeth and prevent potential issues.

Types of Dental Bridge

A fixed bridge consists of two crowns attached to the teeth on either side of the gap, while a cantilever bridge attaches the replacement tooth to a crown fitted to one adjacent tooth. This type of bridge is ideal for filling gaps in the back of the mouth.
