Our Services Of Dental Bridges

It is quite bothersome if one or more are missing in a row of teeth. Nonetheless, our best solution is dental bridges. A bridge is an artificial tooth or sometimes a couple of artificial teeth anchored with crowns placed on the neighboring healthy teeth or dental implants. This restoration fills the gap in your smile by not letting surrounding teeth move away from their original places for permanent dental health.

• Traditional dental bridges: They are an aggregation of one or more artificial teeth held by a dental crown on the adjacent natural teeth. They are quite reliable and very durable in restorations for missing teeth.
• Cantilever Bridges: For patients with only one adjacent tooth for support, a cantilever bridge ensures a proper restoration that is solid and very functional.
• Maryland Bonded Bridges: Sometimes known as resin-bonded bridges, the former uses metal or porcelain structures bonded to the back of nearby teeth, giving them a relatively conservative approach.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: It uses implants instead of natural teeth to support more permanent solutions made of dental bridges and provide them with a high-quality longevity function.
