Dental Bridges

If you have lost a tooth, our emergency dentist may suggest performing a dental bridge in London and restoring your attractive smile. The gaps for your missing teeth can be fixed easily with dental bridges. This involves attaching a crown on the tooth beside the gap which allows a false tooth to attach. Our emergency dentists work together at each step of the fabrication which results in bridges looking natural and functional. With dental bridges for knocked out tooth, we will help you to improve your confidence level.

Benefits of dental bridges

• Suitable denture alternatives
• Balances the forces on your teeth at the time of chewing
• Corrects and maintains bite
• Improves and supports dentures
• Lessens the risk of teeth drifting and tilting

Other than dental bridges for filling teeth gaps, we can also help you with partial dentures and dental implants.

Resin-bonded dental bridge

Resin-bonded or resin-retained bridges are less invasive option. These are attached to your surrounding teeth with plastic or metal attachments and these restorations depend on dental cement for stability.

If this is your first requirement for a bridge and you do not want to have surrounding teeth shaved down, a resin-bonded dental bridge might be the suitable solution for you. Book a consultation with our emergency dentists in London and perform dental bridges treatment successfully.
