For Strength & Smile Confidence

Dental Bridges in Heald Green

We know that missing teeth makes it difficult to eat, speak and smile on the front of your mouth.

A bridge is a long-term dental solution – just one of many treatments – that restore the aesthetic appeal of your smile by filling in the space of missing teeth. Furthermore, they are also vital to maintaining the position of healthy teeth.

Bridges can be customised with different materials and tooth shades to create a bespoke treatment that looks natural.

Dental Bridges at The Dental Lounge

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a “false” tooth that is attached to a healthy tooth to cover the gap between your teeth. Dental bridges can be used to replace one or more missing teeth and help preserve your oral health.

At The Dental Lounge we believe in giving our patients appropriate treatments with a holistic approach to your oral health. If you have a one or more missing teeth we will suggest several treatment options designed to maintain your dental health.

We use dental bridges to prevent movement and drifting of healthy teeth, and this helps to prevent associated problems like gum disease and jaw pain. Not only that, but you will feel relieved being able to smile with confidence.

Benefits

Why Bridges?

Losing teeth is – unfortunately – inevitable at some point. For some, it’s simply an inconvenience and for others it leads to a long road filled with discomfort and discontent.

Missing teeth may result in problems with your bite which can lead to jaw discomfort. Another reason for replacing a missing tooth is to stabilise the remaining teeth. When you have a new gap, neighbouring teeth often shift or tilt into the space. Tilting teeth may cause exposed roots and sensitivity as well as difficultly cleaning leading to gum disease.

Dental bridges are a great way of replacing missing teeth and will improve your smile as well as your dental health.

Knowhow

Alternatives to a Dental Bridge

During your initial consultation our dental proffesionals will discuss a wide range of treatments and options to restore your smile.

Two of the most common alternatives to a dental bridge are a denture or a dental implant.

All treatments have unique advantages, so we take the time to listen to your needs and provide a treatment plan that suits your goals and budget.

KNOWHOW

What To Expect When Getting A Bridge…

Here’s a quick guide to getting a bridge:

1. Your first appointment is to prepare the teeth next to the gap. Sometimes this means removing some of the enamel to make space for the fitting. Please don’t worry, you won’t experience any discomfort as you will have a local anaesthetic if needed. At this appointment you will also have impressions or scan taken – these are sent to a dental laboratory who will make your bridge.

2. After approximately two weeks we will have your bridge ready to fit. This is a quick and easy appointment where we will check that your new bridge looks and feels comfortable before we cement it in place.

3. Living with a bridge may required some extra steps in your daily oral hygiene routine. At you fitting appointment we will teach you how to clean around the bridge properly to avoid any gum-related problems.

FAQs

A few things we thought you’d like to know…

What is the difference between a bridge and a denture?

A bridge is a false tooth attached to your existing tooth/teeth on either side of the gap using a crown or wing. A denture, on the other hand, sits directly on your gums and are held in place with clasps or with suction.

What treatment will be best for me?

Your treatment plan is designed to suit your individual needs. We will discuss all the alternatives such as implants and dentures during your consultation. As always, your treatment choice is yours and yours alone.

What are the benefits of dental bridges?

The aesthetic benefits mean that you won’t feel the need to hide your teeth when you laugh or smile, meaning increased confidence with others.

The health benefits include better oral health, and the prevention of further complications with your bite and oral hygiene.

Is it possible to have a dental bridge at the same time as another dental treatment?

Absolutely! If you would like more than one treatment, we will design your entire treatment plan to work in the best way for you.

Does Teeth Whitening work on dental bridges?

Unfortunately teeth whitening doesn’t work on bonded bridges. Tooth-coloured bridges are made with a porcelain outer layer. Porcelain is non-porous and therefore doesn’t absorb whitening agents. If you would liketo lighten you teeth we recommend doing this before having a bridge so that the new bridge matches your brightened smile.
