If ever you’ve lost one tooth or even a few and you don’t want dentures or dental implants, a bridge is a fantastic natural gap-filler that won’t cost as much as you might think.
Just like crowns, a bridge is produced from porcelain. They’re accurately colour matched to neighbouring teeth so will look just like a real tooth, or row of teeth. Bridges are fixed to the teeth either side of the gap to keep them in place.
At Ivory Dental we have a great deal of choices and materials on offer, with bridges to match every budget.
Drop in and see us for a free appointment and we’ll let you know if a bridge could be best for you. We’ll also chat to you about the possibilities and let you know out about the various materials on offer.
We’ll begin by improving the shape of the teeth either side of the gap to make sure they’re able to do the job of supporting your new bridge. Then we’ll take an impression of your mouth to help us to get a snug fit.
Following that, we’ll install the bridge. We may give you a substitute one until the real thing is produced in our dental laboratory. A few quick follow-up sessions are all it takes to remove and replace the temporary bridge with its permanent replacement and readjust it until it’s comfortable.
