What is a Bridge?

A bridge provides a permanent fixed replacement for missing teeth & can restore a confident smile.

A bridge is made by placing a crown on the teeth on either side of the gap & attaching a false tooth or teeth in between the crowns. A specialist dental laboratory carefully constructs the bridge after an impression (mould) is taken of your mouth.

The bridge is made of porcelain & gold alloy (for strength). Like crowns, the “teeth” are coloured & shaped to feel & look like real teeth.

Bridges are particularly popular with people who have a gap in their mouth but prefer not to wear a denture.
