Dental bridges are a modern and elegant tooth replacement solution that provides natural results, restoring your confidence and oral health.
- Dental bridges have a natural look

- Renew your smile and increase your confidence

What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental prosthesis that fills the gap caused by one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth definitively to adjacent teeth.
Bridges are attached to your natural teeth or to implants, which support the structure and are called abutments.
The false teeth that replace the gap are called pontics and they can be made from several materials, depending on your preferences: porcelain, gold, alloys or a combination of these.

DENTAL BRIDGE FAQs
How do I take care of my dental bridges?
How do I care for dental bridges?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is key in maximising the lifespan of your dental bridges.
Brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing and using anti-bacterial mouthwash reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, but don’t forget that avoiding excess sugars is just as important.
How long do dental bridges last?
Dental bridges are a durable tooth replacement solution. With proper oral care and regular dental check-ups, a dental bridge can even last for more than 10 years.
How will dental bridges affect my life?
Will I have difficulty eating with a dental bridge?
No, on the contrary. The very goal of dental bridges is to make chewing easier.
However, in the first days after the procedure we recommend eating soft foods, so that you can get used to your new dental bridge.
Will people be able to tell I have a dental bridge?
Not unless you tell them. Dental bridges provide a natural result and will match the colour of your surrounding teeth.
