A Bridge is a device used to replace one or more existing teeth.

Bridges are permanent restorations which act to ‘bridge’ the gap between two healthy teeth. A Bridge can fill a gap of up to four teeth if there are healthy natural teeth flanking the gap. The Bridge will replace your missing teeth and will appear entirely natural.

When a lost tooth is replaced with cemented bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one may be prepared as crowns to serve as abutments, to hold the bridge in place. This procedure usually takes two appointments to complete.

Bridges are a long term solution that can help prevent the cycle of problems that occur when just one tooth is missing, such as shifting and drifting of remaining teeth, decay and periodontal bone loss.

Bridges can also dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.
