Bridges

Gaps created by missing teeth eventually cause existing teeth to move or rotate into the empty space which can cause problems such as change in bite; misaligned teeth; temporomandibular joint disorder; speech impediments and periodontal disease resulting in a greater chance of tooth decay.  Dental bridges can offer the best way of replacing missing teeth or gaps.

Bridges are either ceramic or porcelain and are matched to the colour of your natural teeth when they are made after impressions are taken of the surrounding teeth.  Bridges are fixed by cementing to the natural teeth surrounding the gap which serve as anchors for the bridge.

Bridges can last for as long as ten years or more and will reduce the risk of gum disease, correct bite issues and improve speech.
