Missing teeth can cause low self-esteem; there is an easy way to fill the gap.
Dental Bridges are a fantastic solution to create a beautiful smile.
Dental Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth created using precious metals.
Bridges are a discreet,
permanent fixture supported by the teeth adjacent to the ‘gap’. Aside from the cosmetic reasons
to replace teeth, there
are functional reasons, such as helping people to bite and spread the chewing load. The gap left
by a missing tooth can
mean greater strain is put on the teeth at either side. A gap can also mean the teeth next to
the space can lean into
the gap and alter the way the upper and lower teeth bite together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental bridge take?
The procedure for getting a traditional dental bridge usually takes at least two visits to the
dentist, each lasting
about an hour to an hour and a half. During the first visit, your anchor teeth or implants are
shaped to get them ready
for the crowns that will hold the bridge in place
How long will a dental bridge last?
You can expect a new crown to last 5-15 years. With regular dental health checkups and good
hygiene your crown may last
25-30 years.
Do dental bridges break easily?
However, just like with anything, your dental bridge can easily break and leave you in need of
repair. Dental bridges
usually break due to decay under the bridge itself but can also break when there is a fracture
in the bridge itself
