Dental Bridges Leicester
Missing teeth can affect your confidence and oral health. At EverySmile, we offer dental bridges to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Our experienced dentists use high-quality materials and techniques to create natural-looking and durable bridges that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth that are anchored to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap.
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional bridges
These are the most common type of bridge and are made of porcelain fused with metal or ceramic
Cantilever bridges
These are used when there are teeth on only one side of the gap
Maryland bonded bridges
These are made of porcelain or plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal framework.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restored Smile: Bridges fill the gaps in your smile, improving its appearance.
- Improved Chewing: Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly.
- Maintained Facial Structure: Bridges help prevent the collapse of your facial features that can occur with missing teeth.
- Prevented Shifting: Bridges prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
