Dental Bridges in Victoria
Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth. A dental bridge works by securing a pontic (an artificial tooth) into the space where a tooth is missing. Bridges can be an excellent solution to restore minimal tooth loss.
Will Dental Bridges Work for You?
Dental bridges typically require strong surrounding teeth. Our dentists will look at the overall health of your mouth and the strength of your nearby teeth to determine if they can support a bridge. They may also use different bridge options depending on what is best for your situation.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are several dental bridges that can be created to fill different gaps in the mouth. Traditional bridges are attached to crowns on either side of the gap, while cantilever bridges are attached only to one adjacent tooth. Other types of bridges may also be available if your oral health can’t support a traditional or cantilever bridge.
