Bridges

Do you have bleeding when brushing your teeth?, Gum recession?, Persistent bad breath?, Swollen gums?, Darker colour of the gums around the teeth? A bad taste in your mouth?

 Fed up of unsightly gaps?

 Difficulty in eating?

 Why not consider a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap.

Bridges are usually made of a precious metal. If the bridge will show, porcelain is then bonded to the base. Sometimes, there are other non-precious metals used in the base for strength.

Although a bridge may seem costly they can be a wise investment that will give many years of good service. It will also improve your appearance and bite. A bridge uses the considerable skill of the dentist and technician, and in this way, it’s similar to ordering a piece of hand-made jewellery.

You need to clean your bridge every day, to prevent problems such as bad breath and gum disease. You also have to clean under the false tooth every day. Your cosmetic dentists or hygienist will show you how to use a bridge needle or special floss, as a normal toothbrush cannot reach.
