What are bridges?

Dental Bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A Bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials. Dental Bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.

Benefits of dental bridges

  • Restore your smile.
  • Maintain the shape of your face.
  • Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth.
  • Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
