What Are Dental Bridges?
It is important to replace or fill a gap left by missing teeth if at all possible. It not only helps boost confidence by creating a great looking smile, it also serves an important clinical need. A bridge is used to fill the space left by missing teeth, restoring your smile.
We will be happy to help you choose the best method to replace any missing teeth you may have. A bridge can prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position and help maintain your facial structure.
Types Of Dental Bridges
We offer different types of bridges depending on your needs, including traditional bridges and more modern options using high-quality materials.
Traditional & Maryland Bridges
Traditional bridges are the most common type of dental bridge and consist of one or more artificial teeth held in place by crowns cemented onto the adjacent healthy teeth, usually made from porcelain fused to metal or high-strength ceramic. Maryland bridges, also called resin-bonded bridges, are typically used for missing front teeth and use an artificial tooth with metal or porcelain wings that bond to the back of neighbouring teeth, requiring minimal preparation of the healthy tooth structure.
Why Choose Dental Bridges?
Replacing missing teeth with a bridge not only restores your smile and confidence but also addresses important clinical needs. It prevents remaining teeth from shifting, helps maintain proper bite alignment, and supports your facial structure.
At Waterden Dental Practice, we use advanced materials and techniques to create bridges that look natural, feel comfortable, and provide long-lasting function. We will guide you through the options to find the best solution for your specific situation.
