Do you need a solution for your missing teeth? Did you know that the loss of just one tooth has a "domino effect" not just from each side of the missing tooth, but also top or bottom. So, before you enter the inevitable cycle of losing even more teeth, why not restore the natural function of your mouth with fixed prosthetics (crowns and bridges)?

Bridge

Sometimes, a tooth is so badly damaged that a crown is the treatment of choice in order to save a tooth. A crown is made which fits over the top of the remaining part of the tooth. If the crown is well made, no one should be able to tell the difference between the crown and your real teeth.

Sometimes, it is impossible to save any tooth structure, and there is a gap of one or more teeth, or maybe several teeth in close proximity that are missing. In these cases a bridge can be constructed. The bridge is anchored to the surrounding tooth on each side of the missing tooth (teeth) and in this way the gap is closed (or bridged).

All above photographs show examples of Bridging Techniques being used together with Bonding Techniques and/or Veneers and/or Whitening Techniques to improve the overall appearance of neighbouring teeth.
