Dental Bridges
Family & Specialist Dental Practice in Twickenham
Dental bridges are an effective way in filling gaps between teeth. If you have missing teeth and do not wish to have dentures or implants then bridges are the choice for you.
Bridges are false teeth, that are anchored to neighbouring teeth to ‘bridge the gap’. Because they are made of porcelain, they look like natural teeth and they are also fixed in place, unlike dentures, so you will probably forget they are even there!
When are dental bridges needed?
Having large gaps between your teeth can be very unsightly and can have a dramatic effect on self-esteem. If you have had a tooth extracted and don’t like the thought of having a gap between your teeth then bridges are an excellent choice. They can be placed not only at the front of your mouth, but also at the back.
Losing a tooth can have many effects on you mouth:
- Unstable bite
- Shape of your face
- Speech
- Smile
All these things can be dramatically improved with a bridge.
