A dental bridge replaces missing teeth, restoring strength and proper function so your bite feels whole again. It also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting, helping to maintain your smile's alignment and comfort.
Each bridge crafted at the Centre for Advanced Dentistry & Implantology is custom-made to fit your mouth for a secure fit and a natural, balanced appearance.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge fills the space left by one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. It consists of two or more specially fitted crowns joined by a false tooth that restores your smile's appearance and function.
Fixed bridges are secure and feel natural, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
How do bridges work?
Neighbouring teeth, known as abutments, are prepared to hold the bridge firmly in place. Once secured, the bridge provides a stable, comfortable result that functions like your natural teeth.
Bridges have been a trusted method of tooth replacement for generations. While dental implants are now widely used, bridges remain a strong and reliable option, especially when implants are not suitable or desired.
When would a bridge be recommended?
A bridge may be advised if you:
- Have lost one or more teeth
- Find chewing difficult because of a gap
- Wish to restore the natural line of your smile
- Want to prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
Replacing missing teeth not only improves appearance but also supports healthy jaw alignment and oral function.
