Bridges are a replacement tooth used when there is no tooth or root remaining; they are able to be used if the neighboring teeth are still in place. They then “bridge” the gap between the two existing teeth.
Bridges are used to prevent the other teeth from moving which can lead to further complications such as a bad bite. They also protect the gums from damage and decay where the missing tooth would have been. A bridge is needed if a tooth is to be removed completely, and the surrounding teeth are able to stay.
New technologies are now available to make fillings the same colour as your teeth, allowing you to continue smiling with confidence. These fillings use synthetic resins to fill the cavities, leaving your teeth looking as they originally were.
