Bridges

What are bridges?

A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap ,these two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth and a false tooth/teeth in between is called a pontic. This is a fixed option to replace missing teeth. The bridge will be made of porcelain , zirconia or porcelain fused to metal .The shade will be matched to the colour of your teeth so that it looks as natural as possible. 

Treatment.

This will take 2 appointments, in the first appointment the teeth will be prepared for the bridge, impressions will be taken and a temporary bridge will be cemented to your teeth while the impressions are sent to the lab to have the bridge made. Generally 2 weeks later at the second visit the temporary crown will be removed and the permanent crown will be cemented.
