Leaving a gap can cause the neighbouring teeth to drift out of place, which can affect chewing and even change the shape of your smile over time. A bridge not only restores appearance but also keeps your teeth in their proper positions.
It usually takes two visits. At the first appointment, we prepare the supporting teeth and take a digital scan or impression for the lab. You’ll have a temporary solution while your bridge is being made. At the second visit, we carefully fit and secure the bridge, checking that it looks and feels just right.
Not at all. Modern bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We match the colour and shape so well that most people won’t be able to tell which tooth is the replacement.
With good care (brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups), a bridge can last many years. We’ll also show you effective ways to clean around and under it, since that’s key to keeping it strong and healthy.
Yes. Dental implants are another excellent option, and removable dentures may also work depending on your situation. We’ll chat through all the possibilities and help you choose what fits your needs.
