A dental bridge offers a solution for closing gaps in a smile caused by missing teeth. It relies on adjacent healthy teeth for support, securing a prosthetic tooth in place to fill the gap seamlessly.
What types of dental bridges are offered?
Nuvo Dental Dawlish Centre offers various types of dental bridges, including:
At Nuvo Dental Dawlish Centre, we provide several types of dental bridges, including:
- Traditional Bridge: Recommended when sturdy teeth flank the gap, acting as anchors for the prosthetic tooth. Crowns are often placed on these adjacent teeth to bolster the bridge’s stability.
- Resin-Bonded Bridge: This bridge is affixed to adjacent teeth using metal wings. It’s frequently employed for repairing front teeth or as a temporary measure before dental implant placement.
- Cantilever Bridge: Similar to the traditional bridge, but it relies on only one healthy neighboring tooth for support.
What is the procedure like?
If a dental bridge is deemed appropriate for your situation, we commence by preparing the teeth neighboring the gap, which will serve as anchors for the bridge.
During this process, we may provide a temporary bridge while a custom bridge is meticulously crafted by a skilled technician in a dental laboratory. Once the bespoke bridge is ready, you return to have it fitted, completing your journey toward smile restoration.
