Dental Bridgework Perth
Dental bridges are a fantastic option for patients with missing teeth who desire a complete and radiant smile without the need for invasive dental implants.
A dental bridge fills a gap between your teeth with false teeth, connecting them to your natural teeth on either side. They can be an excellent alternative if you prefer not to have a dental implant or if your gums or jaw are not in the right condition for it.
Bridges are usually made from metal, porcelain, or zirconia, and there are three types to choose from: traditional, cantilever, and the Maryland bridge.
- Traditional Bridge: The most common type, this bridge involves placing dental crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth (pontic) secured between them.
- Cantilever Bridge: Less common, this bridge is used when there is only one tooth next to the gap. The crown is placed over that tooth, and the pontic is attached to it.
- Maryland Bridge: This style connects a false tooth to the teeth on each side of the gap using ‘wings’ attached to the back of the neighbouring teeth.
No matter which style you choose, a dental bridge offers patients the full functionality of a full set of teeth and smile.
Our skilled dental team is ready to guide you in making the best decision for your unique needs. With a dental bridge, you can reclaim the beauty of your smile and the pleasure of a complete set of teeth.
