Dental Bridges:
Dental bridges are a type of dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth that are anchored in place by attaching to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. Traditional bridgework typically involves the fabrication of crowns for the healthy teeth on each side of the gap and a false tooth (pontic) in between. This structure not only restores function and aesthetics but also prevents neighboring teeth from shifting out of position. Dental bridges can be made from various materials, such as porcelain, metal alloys, or a combination of both, depending on the patient's individual needs and preferences. It is essential for individuals considering dental bridges to consult with our qualified dentist Dr. Zahir Billy who can assess their oral health status and recommend the most suitable treatment option to achieve optimal results.
