Dental Bridges in Bromley

Dental Bridges—an Overview

Dental Bridges—an Overview

Missing teeth can make your smile feel incomplete. Whether it was gum infection, extensive tooth decay, an accident or just age, you must replace lost teeth to be able to chew better and speak and smile confidently. Dental bridges offer an easy and affordable tooth replacement option. Dental bridges in Bromley are custom-designed and natural-looking to make your smile feel the best.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are a series of two or more dental crowns that are used to fill the gaps left by missing teeth. They are securely fixed in the mouth with dental adhesives. Pontics, or artificial teeth, replace the gaps caused by lost teeth, while retainers cover the supporting anchor teeth. The supporting natural teeth in a dental bridge are called the abutments. Whether you’re missing one or more teeth, dental bridges are a long-lasting, aesthetically acceptable, and cost-effective solution.

Do You Need Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are ideal when:

  • You have one or more missing teeth.
  • You wish to bite, tear and chew food efficiently.
  • You want to avoid additional bone loss in the missing teeth areas and biting issues.
  • And have gaps in your front teeth and wish to restore your smile
  • You are looking for an affordable solution.

Types of Dental Bridges

At Smile 4 U, we offer different types of dental bridges, such as:

Traditional Bridges: A common type of dental bridge that has an artificial tooth (the pontic) linked to dental crowns attached to adjacent natural teeth for support. They are useful for repairing one or more missing teeth.

Cantilever Bridges: Used when there is just one natural tooth available to support the space left by the missing tooth. Dental bridges on front teeth can be cantilevered if necessary.

Maryland bonded bridges: As a conservative option—they use a metal framework to anchor to the supporting teeth and do not require numerous dental crowns; they are ideal for missing front teeth in smile makeovers.

 

We regularly provide consultations and dental bridge treatments to patients from Shirley, New Eltham, Chislehurst, Coldharbour, Bickley, Orpington, Sidcup, and Keston.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

There are several advantages of dental bridges:

Functionality and digestive health

Dental bridges assist you in eating and chewing fibrous foods effortlessly.

Maintain jaw health and harmony

Prevent surrounding teeth from tipping and tilting after tooth loss.

Boosts confidence

A custom-designed dental bridge makes you feel more confident to laugh and speak freely.

Ensures a youthful look

Preserve your gums, cheek muscles, and facial structure, allowing you to look younger.

Improves the quality of life

They help boost digestive health, overall health, and confidence in speaking.

Cost-efficient

Compared to dental implants, traditional bridges are a less expensive way to replace several lost teeth than dental implants.

What Our Patients Say

Frequently Asked
Questions

Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:

Yes! Dental bridges restore full chewing ability. To protect your bridge, avoid eating very hard or sticky foods at first.

Brush and floss twice a day, and clean around the bridge with a water flosser. Regular dental check-ups will ensure its long-term success.

Minor damage is sometimes repairable. However, if the dental bridge is severely damaged, worn, or cracked, it must be replaced. Please contact us at Smile 4 U if you have any problems.

We always numb your gums and teeth before modifying the supporting teeth, create moulds or digital scans of your teeth, and attach a temporary bridge while the dental lab fabricates the bridge.

Once your permanent bridge is complete, we inspect it for the best fit, comfort, and appearance. It is then firmly secured to the teeth, restoring your smile and functionality.
