Dental Bridge
It is a prosthetic replacement for missing teeth. By crowning the neighbouring teeth, a multiple unit crown is fused together to form a bridge, closing the space caused by missing teeth.
Who are Dental Bridges suitable for?
You would need dental bridges when you have missing teeth. That said, not everyone is suitable for a dental bridge. The dentist will have to do a thorough dental examination to check the condition of neighbouring anchoring teeth.
In most cases, you are an ideal candidate if you :
- Have 1 or 2 missing teeth
- Able to maintain good oral hygiene
- Are in good general health
Why Consider Dental Bridges?
01
Restore function
By filling the void/empty space left by the loss of tooth, it restores the patient’s biting mechanics. On top of that, it will also restore the ability to speak and pronounce words.
02
Stop the repositioning of other teeth.
Your teeth may start to move to fill empty spaces in your mouth, resulting in gaps between your teeth or angled teeth, giving you a strange smile. This shift changes your speech patterns and eating habits. A dental bridge will prevent this from happening.
03
Give you a full smile.
Similar to dental implants, dental bridges will fill the empty space and prevent the collapse of the face that may cause someone to look older.
