    Bridges

    A bridge is used as a permanent replacement for one or more missing teeth. It is both aesthetic and functional. A bridge may be recommended if you're missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

    A bridge will restore your natural bite and prevent unwanted movement of the adjacent teeth and over eruption of the opposing teeth. They are a very desirable alternative to a removable partial denture.

    Frequently asked questions

    What colour will the bridge be?

    Bridges are designed to give patients a natural look. The colour of the bridge will vary based on the location of the teeth being replaced. How white the bridge is will also vary based on the structure and condition of your natural teeth.

    How should I care for my bridge?

    Because dental bridges are most commonly made of dental porcelain, a very strong material, they do not require any special care. You should still brush and floss around them as you do your natural teeth, and pay close attention to your gum health. However, because the false tooth is fused to one or more neighbouring tooth crowns, you will not be able to floss between the false tooth and it neighbours.
