Bridges are becoming the popular choice for tooth replacement amongst many people who loose their teeth in accidents or as a result of decaying.

The process includes removing the tooth structure from the teeth before it can be crowned. Once this is done, a Bridge can be placed by cementing crowns using special materials over the teeth and either side of the gap being filled.

A bridge can avert the chain-reaction of dental problems that can occur when a tooth is lost. These can include;

• The tooth opposing the missing tooth can start to extrude from its socket.
• The missing tooth can cause chewing problems.
• It is much harder to clean the teeth that have shifted, and this may cause further tooth loss through the advancement of periodontal disease.

Dental Crowns are designed to fit over your natural teeth after they have been shaped to accept the crown. A Crown may be used to protect and treat the following causes:

• Worn Fillings
• Cracked Tooth
• Failing Crown
• Large Cavity
• After Root Canal
