Dental Bridge

A dental bridge effectively closes off gaps in your mouth. It entails using a prosthetic tooth that is attached to the natural teeth on either side of the gap to replace a lost tooth. Dental bridges often come in two varieties. The most typical type has two metal or porcelain crowns that are firmly affixed to your tooth structure on either side of the gap, with the fake tooth (or teeth) in the center.

Questions? You’re covered.

Price range from £558*. There is no set price for dental bridges as every patient is unique and treated on an individual, case-by-case basis.

Your dentist will make an impression of your mouth to use when making the bridge. To ensure that the bridge fits, a plaster mould of your teeth and gums must be prepared. Your dentist will choose the ideal tint for your bridge at this time so that it blends in with your natural tooth colour.

Following the dentist’s recommendations, a certified lab specialist creates the bridge specifically for each patient. Whilst you await the creation of your custom bridge, your dentist can install an temporary solution, such as a plastic bridge or crown. Your dentist will fit your new bridge once it is finished.

Before your procedure, a local anaesthetic injection will be given to you to suppress any discomfort coming from your gums. Despite this, you will remain awake throughout the surgery. By examining your bite while the bridge is in position, the dentist will make sure the fit is satisfactory.

If you have a lost tooth or teeth, a dental bridge would be a great solution. Poor oral health, inflamed gums, and tooth injury are the most common causes of lost teeth, although some people are born without teeth due to a congenital disorder. You will need healthy teeth on either side of the missing teeth in order to fit a dental bridge.

No, you will find it easier to eat as you will have replaced the lost teeth. However, you may want to eat soft foods that have been chopped into smaller pieces until you get used to your new bridge.

You may find it challenging to communicate clearly if you are missing any front teeth. However, your speech may improve with a dental bridge that replaces those lost teeth.
