Traditional Bridge

What are dental crowns and bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments used to replace or repair damaged or missing teeth.

Crowns are typically used to cover a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength and appearance.

Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth, by attaching artificial teeth to the remaining healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

How do dental crowns and bridges work?

We offer custom-made dental crowns and bridges to repair and restore damaged or missing teeth. Crowns are carefully crafted to fit over weakened or damaged teeth, providing protection against further damage while restoring both the tooth’s functionality and appearance. Bridges, on the other hand, are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, anchored securely to the remaining healthy teeth on either side of the gap

Missing Teeth Solutions: Dental Bridges vs Implants

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, patients have two popular options: dental bridges and dental implants. A dental bridge involves using a false tooth (or teeth) to fill in a gap, and anchoring it to the adjacent healthy teeth. On the other hand, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, and they fuse with the surrounding bone to create a stable foundation for an artificial tooth.

Both options have their unique advantages, and the right choice for you will depend on factors such as the number of missing teeth, the condition of surrounding teeth, and your budget. If you’re looking for a Private dentist in Dumfries, dental bridges are generally less expensive and require less time for completion, while dental implants offer a longer lifespan and can prevent bone loss in the jaw.

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between existing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored by dental crowns on adjacent teeth.
The lifespan of a dental bridge can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and overall oral health. With proper care, dental bridges can last for 10 to 15 years or longer.
Dental bridges are designed to blend in naturally with your existing teeth, providing a seamless appearance. The crowns and pontics are often made of materials like porcelain or ceramic, mimicking the color and texture of natural teeth.
The dental bridge procedure typically involves local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t experience pain during the process. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but it is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Caring for a dental bridge is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential. Special attention should be given to cleaning the area under the bridge using floss threaders or interdental brushes.
Dental bridges are a suitable option for many individuals with one or more missing teeth. However, the eligibility for a dental bridge depends on various factors, including the condition of the adjacent teeth and overall oral health. Consulting with a dentist is necessary to determine if a dental bridge is the right treatment for you.
