Dental Bridges at London Dental Centre
Restore your confidence and get a stunning new smile with bespoke bridges
If you're missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge might be the ideal solution to restore your smile. Particularly suitable if your missing teeth are few or located on one side of your mouth, a dental bridge not only improves your smile's appearance but also prevents your remaining teeth from shifting into the empty space. At London Dental Centre, near Old Street and Kings Cross, our skilled dentists can help you regain both function and confidence with a custom-made bridge.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a restorative solution that replaces missing teeth by "bridging" the gap left behind. It consists of two or more crowns that are placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap, serving as anchors, with a false tooth (or teeth) in between. This structure helps to support the false tooth while also reducing the risk of decay and gum disease in the surrounding teeth.
The Process of Fitting a Dental Bridge
At your initial consultation at London Dental Centre, our dentist will carefully examine your teeth and jaw to determine if a bridge is the best option for you. If your teeth and bone support are strong enough, a dental bridge can effectively restore your smile and improve your oral health.
The process begins with taking an impression of your mouth to create a plaster model of your teeth and gums. This model helps the dentist understand how your teeth fit together, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit for your bridge. The teeth adjacent to the gap will then be prepared by reducing their size slightly to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
A second impression is taken to create a bridge that matches your natural teeth perfectly. The bridge, made from metal, porcelain, or a combination of both, will have a replacement tooth that is color-matched to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. While your permanent bridge is being crafted, you may be fitted with a temporary bridge or crown to protect the prepared teeth and gums.
Once your custom bridge is ready, it will be carefully fitted and adjusted by our experienced dentist at our local London practice. We will ensure that your new bridge is comfortable and secure before fixing it in place.
