Dental bridges offer a reliable solution to gaps and are simply an effective way to restore your smile. Dental bridges consist of a false tooth held between two crowns, this is the ‘bridge’, which uses your teeth to support the replacement tooth. This method is a longer-lasting alternative to dentures and bridges are an effective method for replacing individual missing teeth. Bridges are usually made from porcelain fused to a metal or ceramic base. They are custom-made using scans of your teeth so they will blend in perfectly with your smile and appear just like natural teeth. The porcelain is also shade-matched to your teeth, giving them an overall pleasing look. There are also a variety of different types of bridge available that you can choose from. As well as traditional bridges, we can also use implants to support the bridge if there is more than one tooth missing. There are also cantilever bridges for cases where there are teeth only on one side of a gap (used to replace the back molars) and Maryland bridges that are attached to existing teeth with metal wings. We can provide all of these dental bridges at our dental surgery, in Saint Helier. Traditional bridges offer a secure alternative to dentures as they are fixed in place using crowns. They are also a more affordable solution to implants, which is why many people choose this natural-looking option. As well as restoring an incomplete smile, bridges can offer a host of other benefits, including: It’s important that the teeth supporting the bridge are healthy so we carry out an assessment to ensure that there are no underlying signs of damage. When you visit our Surgery in the Morden and Sutton area, we will need to remove a layer of enamel from the abutment teeth so there is enough room for the crowns. We will then take scans of the prepared teeth so we can send measurements to the dental laboratory where the bridges are made. While this is being done, we will provide a temporary bridge to protect the teeth so they are not exposed. When it’s ready, the bridge is checked and adjusted to make sure it fits perfectly, then it is fixed in place with strong dental cement. Good oral hygiene is essential to ensure the longevity of your bridge, so make sure you have a good electric toothbrush to ensure a healthy smile. It is especially important to clean under the false tooth, as well as brushing and flossing regularly. If bridges are well looked after, and that includes keeping the surrounding teeth healthy so they can continue to provide a solid foundation, they should last for over ten years.

Doreen Osei 2020-11-21 I have been going to St Helier Dental Surgery for a few years now and my experience has always been a positive one. All the staff are friendly and professional. I recently had the boutique whitening treatment done with Dr Zena and she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She genuinely cared for me as a person which put me at ease throughout the treatment. It was very uplifting to see how excited she was for the success of my treatment. It is also reassuring to see how the surgery is following government guidelines when it comes to the Covid-19 pandemic. I highly recommend this dental surgery.
