What are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed solutions for replacing missing teeth. You can replace from one to five teeth with dental bridges.

Why have dental bridges?
If teeth are not replaced the surroundings and opposing teeth can move, tilt and cause problems with the bite and eating.

Advantages of bridges
Dental bridges are a quick, easy option to replace teeth. They are fixed unlike dentures and require good strong teeth to be placed upon. They are relatively cheaper then dental implants.

Alternatives to Dental Bridges
Dentures, partial dentures, cosmetic dentures, acrylic dentures or chrome dentures are alternatives to bridges. Dental implants are another option to replace missing teeth.

What Are They Made Of?
The majority of dental bridges are made of metal and porcelain. You don’t see the metal as this is the sub structure and the porcelain is bonded to this to make them look like real teeth. Bridges are also made of porcelain only, known as porcelain bridges, which are metal free. As technology has advanced, so have the materials used and these porcelain bridges have very strong sub structures and have the aesthetic advantages of porcelain veneers.

How Do I Know What Option To Go For?
If you want fixed teeth (usually the best) then dental bridges or dental implants are the best. However your mouth needs to be assessed by a cosmetic dentist to see what’s best for you!
