Missing teeth can affect your confidence, speech and ability to chew properly. Fortunately, dental bridges offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. At Brite Dental, with practices in Paisley, Bridge of Weir, Clarkston and Edinburgh, we provide high-quality dental bridges to restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device designed to fill the gap left by missing teeth. It consists of a false tooth (pontic) held in place by crowns attached to the adjacent teeth. Bridges restore your bite, maintain facial structure and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of place.
These are the most common type, consisting of a false tooth supported by crowns on either side. They are a strong and reliable option for replacing missing teeth.
Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support, making them suitable for specific cases where a traditional bridge isn’t possible.
Instead of crowns, these bridges use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
For patients missing multiple teeth, dental implants can be used to anchor the bridge instead of natural teeth, offering exceptional stability and durability.
To ensure your bridge lasts as long as possible, good oral hygiene is essential. Regular brushing, flossing and routine dental check-ups will help maintain the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
