Bridge

A dental bridge is used to close gaps or replace missing teeth. It is a permanent restoration that comprises abutment teeth from two sides of the gap and a prosthetic tooth in the middle. The sides’ teeth serve as an anchor that holds the artificial tooth in place, commonly known as pontic.

Pontics are made up of alloy, gold or porcelain. It can be made as a combination of these materials too if you prefer that or if the dentist suggests.

Our valued patients have benefitted from bridges before. The ability to chew or speak is restored as well as their beautiful smiles are preserved.

Following are the four common types of dental bridges;

• Traditional dental bridges
• Cantilever tooth that has just one natural tooth as retainer
• Maryland bridge that has two metal frame like wings to attach to adjacent teeth
• Implant-supported bridge, when there are no natural teeth left for support
