Dental bridges are an excellent means to replace missing teeth. Your existing teeth are utilized to produce a bridge to cross the location where your tooth is missing. Bridges are made from gold, metal, alloys, or porcelain to ensure that they are strong and resilient.

The process of developing a bridge begins by producing abutments from your existing teeth where the bridge will be attached. The existing teeth are recontoured to supply a base for the bridge. After the abutments have been developed, a mold is taken of the area which is sent out to a dental lab. The lab is able to use the mold to develop a bridge that will fit correctly and feel as near to your natural teeth as possible. The bridge consists of 2 crowns on either end to put on the abutments and a pontic, which is the brand-new tooth that replaces your missing tooth.

We will fit you with a temporary bridge while we await the laboratory to craft your bridge. This will shield the abutments and the exposed gum areas and look more enticing than having a missing  tooth.

The finished bridge may take some time to get used to, but after a couple of days it ought to feel like you have your own teeth back once again. You must eat soft foods for the first couple of days after having your bridge cemented. After the initial stage, you will have the ability to eat whatever you desire with no concerns.
