Restore Your Smile with a Dental Bridge at Girton Dental Practice

Tooth loss doesn’t have to mean losing your smile. At Girton Dental Practice, we understand how losing a tooth can affect your confidence and the overall harmony of your smile. That’s why we offer dental bridges as a reliable and effective solution to restore both the appearance and function of your teeth.

A dental bridge is a custom-made appliance designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges the gap” left by missing teeth, ensuring that your smile remains complete and your bite stays balanced. At Girton Dental Practice, our dental bridges not only replace missing teeth but also help to secure the remaining teeth, preventing them from shifting out of position. This is crucial because teeth that drift can cause bite problems, discomfort, and even lead to further dental issues over time.

A dental bridge from Girton Dental Practice offers several benefits:

• Restore Your Smile: A bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth, giving you back a complete and natural-looking smile.
• Prevent Teeth Shifting: By securing the remaining teeth, a bridge helps maintain the correct alignment of your teeth, reducing the risk of bite issues and jaw discomfort.
• Improve Functionality: A dental bridge allows you to chew and speak properly, restoring the full function of your teeth.
• Enhance Aesthetics: Our bridges are designed to match the natural appearance of your teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing smile.

At Girton Dental Practice, we offer several types of dental bridges to suit your individual needs:

• Metal Bridges: These are the most basic type of bridge, made from durable metal that provides strong support. While they may not match the natural color of teeth, they are highly functional and long-lasting.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Bridges: For a more natural appearance, metal bridges can be covered with a thin layer of porcelain, giving them a tooth-like look that blends with your natural teeth.
• All-Porcelain Bridges: For the most realistic and aesthetically pleasing option, we offer bridges that are handcrafted entirely from porcelain by skilled dental technicians. These bridges are designed to look and feel just like your natural teeth, providing the best match for your smile.

Getting a dental bridge at Girton Dental Practice is a straightforward process, designed with your comfort and satisfaction in mind:

1. Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, where your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss your options. This step is essential for determining the best type of bridge for your specific needs.
2. Impressions and Modeling: To create a perfect fit, we take precise impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to create a model of your mouth, allowing our dental technicians to design a bridge that fits seamlessly with your existing teeth.
3. Bridge Placement: Once your custom bridge is ready, we will carefully place it in your mouth, ensuring that it fits comfortably and looks natural. Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
4. Final Check and Care Instructions: After your bridge is placed, we’ll provide you with care instructions to maintain your new bridge and keep your smile healthy. Regular check-ups at Girton Dental Practice will ensure your bridge remains in top condition for years to come.
