Dental bridges are a cosmetic dental solution used when the patient has missing teeth. Using modern dentistry techniques The Dentist at Burwood can create a flawlessly realistic dental bridge to address a single missing tooth or several missing teeth that neighbour each other.
Dental bridges are a reliable and durable solution and with proper care can last a lifetime. They are commonly used in conjunction with implant dentistry and crowns to provide a permanent solution.
When are Porcelain Veneers the right solution?
Dental bridges rely on the neighbouring teeth to be strong and healthy so that the bridge can be permanently applied. Dental bridges do impact the teeth neighbouring the missing tooth, and your dentist will make a recommendation on whether a dental bridge is the right solution based on your individual circumstances.
Modern dental bridges are naturally coloured and look and function much the same as your own teeth.
How are Dental Bridges applied?
With a traditional cantilever dental bridge, the teeth neighbouring the missing tooth are ground down before being capped with ceramic crowns. A composite replica tooth called a pontic is ‘suspended’ between the neighbouring teeth giving the appearance of a naturally looking tooth, perfectly masking the site of the missing tooth.
At the Dentist at Burwood, we design and create all of our dental bridges in our surgery, giving us complete control over your smile solution. The result is a natural, permanent and stunning cosmetic solution.
While dental bridges offer a great cosmetic solution to a range of missing tooth cosmetic problems, they may not be the best solution for you. In your initial consultation your dentist will explain all of your options including implant dentistry to address any missing teeth problems that you may have.
