Restore Your Smile With Dental Bridges
Missing teeth can impact both your appearance and oral health. A dental bridge offers a reliable way to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. At The Dentist West Midlands, we provide custom-made bridges to seamlessly blend with your existing smile, improving your bite, speech, and overall confidence.
Key Benefits of Dental Bridge
- Restore Appearance: Fill the gap left by missing teeth for a natural-looking smile.
- Prevent Shifting: Keep adjacent teeth from drifting out of alignment.
- Improve Chewing and Speech: Enjoy better function and clearer speech.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.
- Maintain Facial Shape: Preserve jaw and facial structures by supporting surrounding teeth.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of:
- Abutment Teeth: The healthy teeth on either side of the gap, which may require crowns for support.
- Pontic (False Tooth): The artificial tooth, made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, that fills the empty space.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
- Traditional Bridge: The most common type, using crowns placed on the abutment teeth.
- Cantilever Bridge: Supported by only one abutment tooth when there isn’t a tooth on the other side.
- Maryland Bridge: Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth, minimizing the need for crowns.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: Anchored by dental implants instead of natural teeth, offering enhanced stability and longevity.
Dental Bridge vs. Implant
- Dental Bridge: Ideal if adjacent teeth need crowns or minor restorations. Faster placement and no surgery required.
- Dental Implant: A stand-alone solution that preserves jawbone health but involves surgery and a longer healing period.
- Which Option Is Best? A thorough examination will determine whether a bridge or implant is most suitable for your situation.
