Bridges

Designed to fix and repair a smile a with a gap with in it, dental bridges can be used to return a mouth to full function again.

At Brimington Dental Practice, we will always recommend replacing a missing tooth or teeth where possible and viable. Missing teeth can not only cause difficulty for the patient when smiling and eating but can severely impact their confidence as well as go on to cause a range of further oral health issues. These issues include tooth decay, misalignment of neighbouring healthy teeth, loss of bone density in the jaw, and even changes in the facial structure leading to premature signs of ageing.

Dental bridges are one of the most popular ways to replace a missing tooth or teeth. This cost-effective option can return full function to the mouth and can be used to replace just one or several missing teeth at once. Designed to be natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing, bridges use neighbouring healthy teeth as support for the new dental prosthesis, and often involve the placement of one or two crowns. Different bridge styles are available for patients, and we’ll always talk through all your options with you at an initial consultation to make sure we find the one that’s most suitable for you.
