DENTAL BRIDGES TO FILL THE GAPS AND IMPROVE YOUR SMILE

Dental Bridges to fill the gaps and improve your smile at Aigburth Dental Practice in Liverpool.

We offer dental bridges which can fill any gaps in your mouth while also giving your smile an improved natural appearance.

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants.Types of bridges may vary, depending upon how they are fabricated and the way they anchor to the adjacent teeth. Conventionally, dental bridges are made using the indirect method of restoration. However, dental bridges can be fabricated directly in the mouth using such materials as composite resin.

A dental bridge is fabricated by reducing the teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth by a preparation pattern determined by the location of the teeth and by the material from which the bridge is fabricated. In other words, the abutment teeth are reduced in size to accommodate the material to be used to restore the size and shape of the original teeth in a correct alignment and contact with the opposing teeth.

The materials used for the dental bridges include gold, porcelain fused to metal, or in the correct situation porcelain alone. The amount and type of reduction done to the abutment teeth varies slightly with the different materials used. The recipient of such a bridge must be careful to clean well under this prosthesis.
