Dental Practice In The Heart Of Dunfermline
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth by securely attaching an artificial tooth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, filling gaps left by missing teeth to restore your smile.

Your dentist will carefully plan the bridge procedure by conducting a thorough assessment of the condition of the surrounding teeth and tissues. Based on the size of the gap, the type of missing teeth, and other biomechanical factors, your dentist will discuss the various types of bridges and materials available.
Options include Maryland bridges, cantilever bridges, and conventional bridges, which can be fabricated from materials such as lithium disilicate, porcelain fused to metal, and zirconia.
Typically, the dental bridge process requires two appointments. During the first visit, your dentist will prepare the adjacent teeth by removing a small amount of tissue, do shade matching, take photographs, and impressions or digital scans to send to the dental technician. While your bridge is being custom-made, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect the area.
At the second appointment, your dentist will ensure the bridge fits comfortably and meets your aesthetic expectations before securely cementing it in place.
You will also receive guidance on how to clean and maintain your bridge to ensure its longevity and keep your gums healthy.
