Restorative Dentistry

Dental Bridges:

Dental bridges can be used to span the gaps left by missing teeth, and are custom-made to fill the empty space. Remaining teeth surrounding the gap are used as anchors for the bridge. Porcelain or ceramic bridges can also be matched to the colour of your existing teeth so that your dental bridge fits well with the rest of your smile.

Dental bridges are highly durable and can often last a lifetime. However, a bridge can lose its support and become loose or fall out if the teeth holding it in place become damaged or decayed. To ensure your bridge’s longevity, good oral hygiene is a must. Brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing daily will help, as will seeing your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleaning. Chewing hard objects or foods should also be avoided.
