Advance Dental Care

Dental Bridges in East London

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth on either side of the gap (or to implants). Advance Dental Care offers conventional and CEREC bridges, with certain bridges able to be designed and milled chairside the same day where clinically suitable. Your dentist will advise which option is right for your situation.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A bridge uses the teeth adjacent to a gap (the abutment teeth) to support one or more replacement teeth (the pontics). The abutment teeth are prepared and the bridge is bonded in place, restoring appearance and chewing. Bridges can also be supported by implants where the adjacent teeth are not suitable.

Same-Day CEREC Bridges

Where suitable, Advance Dental Care can design and mill a bridge chairside using the CEREC system, avoiding the usual laboratory wait for appropriate cases. Not every bridge is suitable for same-day CEREC — some situations call for a laboratory-made bridge or a staged approach. Your dentist will assess and advise.

Bridges vs Implants

Both bridges and implants replace missing teeth. A bridge relies on adjacent teeth for support, while an implant stands independently. The best option depends on the health of the adjacent teeth, the gap, your bite and your preferences. Your dentist will discuss the options for your case.

What to Expect

For a conventional bridge, the abutment teeth are prepared, an impression or digital scan is taken, and a temporary bridge is fitted while the final bridge is made. For a suitable CEREC bridge, the process can often be completed in one visit. Your dentist will explain the process for your specific case.
