What are dental bridges?

A dental bridge is a prosthetic solution that replaces missing teeth by spanning the gap between adjacent teeth. This treatment enhances both the appearance and functionality of your smile.

During your visit to our boutique practice, we’ll take the time to discuss all the suitable dental treatments with you. If you require a tooth replacement, dental bridges could be the correct treatment plan for you.

What types of dental bridges are there?

Dental bridges can be categorised based on their construction, with two primary options: bonded bridges and winged bridges.

Winged dental bridges consist of a prosthetic tooth attached to adjacent teeth using a small “wing.” This minimally invasive approach often requires little to no tooth preparation.

Bonded bridges require a more extensive preparation process. In this method, the adjacent teeth are reshaped to accommodate a bonded bridge dental crown, which securely holds the prosthetic tooth in place. This ensures a durable and natural-looking restoration.

At Smil, we utilise cutting-edge technology, including the iTero scanner, to create a 3D digital model of your mouth. This eliminates the need for messy impression moulds, ensuring greater accuracy and comfort.

What do dental bridges look like?

A bonded dental bridge or porcelain bridge is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The materials used vary depending on the type of bridge selected. Skilled dental technicians craft each dental bridge in a specialised laboratory, typically requiring up to two weeks. In the meantime, we provide a temporary bridge to maintain aesthetics and function.

Is there another way to fill the space left by missing teeth?

If you’re looking for other ways to replace your missing teeth, there are alternatives available. The closest option to natural teeth is a dental implant. Another alternative is a removable denture. Our experienced dentists in Kent will guide you through your options to help you make the best choice for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental bridges cost?

The cost of a dental bridge will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the material used and the type of bridge placed. If you would like to find out more about the cost of dental bridges at Smil, please get in touch.

Can I get dental bridges on my front teeth?

Yes. Unlike removable dentures, bridges remain fixed to the teeth that support the bridge. They are also more stain-resistant and can provide superior aesthetics, making them the ideal option for replacing missing front teeth.

Are dental bridges considered surgery?

Offering a permanent, natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth, dental bridges can boost your confidence and protect your remaining teeth without surgery.
