Dental Bridges (Time scale 4-5 days)

A bridge is a fixed replacement for a single tooth or if multiple teeth are missing along the same row. One of the quickest and most cost-effective solutions is to close the gap using a fixed Dental Bridge. It’s made by taking an impression of the surrounding teeth, which will eventually support the bridge.

A bridge is usually created from precious metal and porcelain and will be fixed in your mouth (unlike dentures, which can be removed).

The teeth either side of the gap are prepared in order to anchor the Bridge. As a general rule, if you have a single tooth missing you will need a 3 Tooth Dental Bridge to close the gap. If you have 2 teeth missing next to each other you will need a 4 Tooth Dental Bridge and if you have three teeth missing along the same row you will need a 5 Tooth Dental Bridge. Simply count the number of teeth missing and add on an extra tooth/ Crown at each end to calculate the size of the Bridge needed. Although the Crowns are joined together to create the Bridge they will appear to the naked eye as individual teeth so the end result is natural in appearance. As a Dental Bridge is a fixed solution, full function is provided with regards to chewing and speaking. The materials used are also varied but the preference is given to Metal Porcelain Crowns, or Zirconium Porcelain Crowns.

All our Metal Porcelain and Zirconium Porcelain Bridges are crafted in selected A grade laboratories that are known for dental excellence and accuracy. It is important to remember; the skills of the Cosmetic Dentist are only one aspect of your treatment. The quality of the Crowns used in your Dental Bridge, combined with the skills of the Dental Technician is also vitally important to ensure a good end result in terms of fit and aesthetics. Our laboratories use only the very materials that are sourced from across the globe.
