Bridges
Bridges are used where teeth are missing and the option of dental implants has been discounted. The teeth, either side of the gap, are prepared in the same way as a crown, impressions taken and the bridge made at the laboratory. As the name suggests, the gap is bridged with an additional tooth or teeth attached to the crowns fitting either side of the gap. Like crowns, bridges were conventionally made from porcelain bonded to metal, but now more modern and aesthetically pleasing all ceramic zirconium based bridges are available.
