A bridge can be used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Designed to help ‘bridge’ a gap in the mouth, a bridge uses the surrounding healthy teeth as support anchors for a prosthetic tooth or teeth. In some cases, we may also need to attach a crown in order to ensure the full functionality and health of the tooth.
Other than the traditional style of bridge described above, there are several different types of bridge available:
We might recommend a bridge if you have a missing tooth or teeth, or teeth that are in need of extraction. We always recommended replacing teeth wherever possible, as missing teeth can cause a variety of oral health issues.
These include increased risk of bone loss, increased risk of decay, and misalignment and movement of the remaining teeth. Missing teeth can also cause feelings of low self-esteem or self-consciousness when it comes to your smile, and we want to do everything we can to bring back your best smile.
If you think you may be in need of a bridge, or want to discuss any of the other restorative or cosmetic dentistry treatments we offer, feel free to contact us here at the practice.
“Had a very professional hygiene session done by lovely Magdalena. She made me feel at ease and the whole treatment was completely painless. My teeth are so clean and shiny, I can't stop smiling!”
“From beginning to end, my experience with Battersea Smiles has been great. Marisa, Eva and the whole team are a delight and make you feel very looked after and in good hands. The Invisalign treatment has worked wonders for me and I don't think I could have made a better choice than Battersea Smiles to do it with. Highly recommend.”
“From my initial virtual consultation in September 2020 with Marissa through to my final Invisalign appointment. Marissa, Eva and the whole team have been beyond amazing. The team are not just professional (my teeth look beautiful), but make you feel so welcome and build such great rapport with their patients. They keep you so well informed throughout your treatment and really appreciate them being honest with additional treatments that may not be suitable (to ultimately stop you from wasting money). I could not recommend this clinic enough and will continue my treatments here for the foreseeable future! Thank you so much!”
