Rebecca was keen to avoid a removable denture to replace her missing front tooth. After careful consideration she decided a bridge was right for her at the moment.
Adhesive bridge
Conventional bridge
For back teeth, its a fantastic option. The adjacent teeth are adjusted to create room for a crown/cap to fit over them. Once in place the crowns and false tooth are secured with a dental cement/ adhesive.
Firstly, you’ll be given a local anaesthetic to make the procedure painless.
1. Your neighbouring tooth or teeth are adjusted to provide support for a false tooth.
2. A scan/impression of the prepared tooth/teeth is taken and send to the lab.
While you wait for the bridge to be made, a temporary option with be fitted.
3. Once you are happy with the fit and appearance of the new false tooth, along with its supporting structure, it can then be securely fixed in place to your neighbouring teeth using dental cement or adhesive.
Your questions answered
Choosing a dental bridge is a great way to fill gaps from missing teeth when you have strong adjacent teeth. Unlike dentures, a dental bridge is fixed, so you don’t have to worry about removing it. It helps you chew and speak comfortably while stopping your teeth from drifting out of place.
Since dental bridges rely on your adjacent teeth for support, your remaining teeth need to be in good health and strong. Larger gaps exert more pressure on adjacent teeth. For larger gaps, you might want to explore a fixed alternative like a Dental Implant, or consider a Denture for a more budget friendly solution.
The cost for dental bridges varies greatly depending on the type of bridge, material, quality of adjacent teeth as well as the size of the gap.
As a rough guide bridges start from £1100.
