Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic designed to “bridge” the gap left by missing teeth. It consists of a false tooth (or teeth) called a pontic, which is securely anchored to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. This provides stability and helps restore the natural look and feel of your smile. A dental bridge not only improves the aesthetics of your smile but also enhances chewing and speaking function. The process of getting a dental bridge involves preparing the adjacent teeth on either side of a missing tooth, to act as support for the bridge. These adjacent teeth are then fitted with crowns. An impression of the teeth is taken and sent to a lab where the bridge is crafted to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and lifelike result. Once placed, a dental bridge restores your smile and helps maintain the alignment of your teeth, promoting better oral health and bite function.

A dental bridge offers a great combination of functionality and aesthetics, allowing you to enjoy a complete smile once again. Whether you are missing one tooth or several teeth, the Neighbourhood Dental team is here to help you find the best solution to regain your confidence and help your oral health.
