Dental Bridges

Are you missing a tooth and looking for a reliable way to restore your smile? Dental bridges could be the perfect solution. At Abbey Mead Dental & Implant Clinic, we offer expert treatments to help you regain confidence and maintain a healthy mouth.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a custom-made device designed to fill the gap left by missing teeth. It consists of one or more false teeth (known as pontics) held in place by crowns fitted to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. These supporting teeth, called abutment teeth, anchor the bridge securely.

Dental bridges do more than simply restore your appearance. Furthermore, they play a crucial role in protecting your oral health by preventing nearby teeth from drifting out of position. This is important because, if left unchecked, such movement can lead to additional dental problems down the line.

The Benefits of Dental Bridges

Choosing a dental bridge offers many benefits:

By filling the gap, a dental bridge strengthens your smile and supports your long-term oral health.

How to Care for Your Dental Bridge

Caring for your dental bridge is essential for its longevity. You will need to clean the bridge and the supporting teeth daily. Our Abbey Mead dentists will show you how to use special tools like bridge floss or a bridge needle. These techniques ensure your bridge stays clean and healthy.

Avoid chewing hard foods and ice to prevent damage. With proper care and maintenance, your dental bridge can continue to function effectively for many years.

How Is a Dental Bridge Fitted?

Your journey begins with a consultation at Abbey Mead Dental & Implant Clinic. During your consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth and jaw to assess whether a dental bridge is the right solution for you. If you have strong teeth and adequate bone support, you’ll likely be considered a suitable candidate.

We will take an impression of your mouth to create a precise plaster model. This model helps us design a bridge that fits perfectly with your bite. To prepare for the bridge, the teeth on either side of the gap are carefully reshaped. This ensures a secure and comfortable fit for your new bridge.

Once ready, your dental bridge will be fitted, and your smile restored.
