OVERVIEW
There are a few options to close a gap where a single tooth is missing or multiple teeth are missing along the same row. One of the quickest and most cost effective solutions is to close the gap using a fixed Dental Bridge.
A Dental Bridge is as the name suggests, a Bridge over the tooth/ teeth that are missing that anchors onto the teeth either side of the gap. The teeth either side of the gap are prepared in order to anchor the Bridge. A Dental Bridge is a fixed non-removable solution unlike a conventional Denture, which is removable. As a general rule, if you have a single tooth missing you will need a 3 Tooth Dental Bridge to close the gap. If you have two teeth missing next to each other you will need a 4 Tooth Dental Bridge to close the gap and if vou have three teeth missing along the same row vou will need a 5 Tooth Dental Bridge to close the gap. Simply count the number of teeth missing and add on an extra tooth/ Crown at each end to calculate the size of the Bridge needed. Although the Crowns are joined together to create the Bridge they will appear to the naked eve as individual teeth so the end result is natural in appearance. As a Dental Bridge is a fixed solution. full function is provided with regards to chewing and speaking. The materials used are also varied but preference is given to Metal Porcelain Crowns (PFM), or Zirconium Porcelain Crowns. If you are travelling for a few days CAD CAM technology can also be used to design and craft your new Dental Bridge in the clinic itself without the need for an outside laboratory to complete any aspect of the procedure, saving time and you money.
