Dental Bridges
Replace Missing Teeth and Restore Your Smile
If you're missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge is a reliable and natural-looking solution. Designed to fill the gap left by missing teeth, a bridge can restore your smile, improve your ability to chew comfortably, and help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth.
How Does a Dental Bridge Work?
A dental bridge is made up of one or more replacement teeth, known as pontics, which are supported by crowns placed over the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. These supporting teeth act as the anchors for the bridge, creating a strong and secure restoration that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
The Dental Bridge Process at Mathee Dental Studio
Step 1: Preparing Your Teeth
At your first appointment, we carefully prepare the teeth adjacent to the gap by removing a small amount of enamel. This creates the space needed for the supporting crowns.
We then take precise impressions or a scan of your teeth, which are sent to a skilled dental laboratory where your custom bridge is crafted to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth.
Step 2: Temporary Protection
While your permanent bridge is being made, you'll be fitted with a temporary bridge. This protects the prepared teeth and gums and allows you to smile and eat with confidence during the process.
Step 3: Fitting Your New Bridge
Approximately two weeks later, you'll return for your fitting appointment. We carefully check the fit, comfort, and appearance of your new bridge, making any necessary adjustments before permanently cementing it into place.
