Bridges

If you have lost a tooth or need to have a tooth extracted, you may benefit from a strong, natural-looking dental bridge to fill the gap left behind.

A dental bridge is built to look and feel like a natural tooth. It is supported to stay in place by either one or two supporting teeth and functions just like your natural teeth.

It is an ideal solution for lost teeth and allows you to eat and chew normally, stops the surrounding teeth from moving out of place and maintains the shape of your face.

Different types of bridges include:

• A traditional bridge – which is held in place by Dental Crowns placed upon one or two adjacent teeth

• An adhesive resin-bonded bridge – which is supported by one or more adjacent tooth and adhered into place
  

As there are different types of bridges to suit different needs, your dentist at Bank Cottage Dental Practice would assess and discuss the benefits and limitations of this with you so that you can choose the option most suitable for you.
