Dental Bridges

Can replace one or more missing teeth, and there are different types depending on your needs, including:

Traditional fixed bridge: This type of bridge uses two porcelain crowns, which sit on either side of the gap as an anchor to hold the new false teeth in place.
Cantilever bridge: If there is only one tooth able to support a bridge, a cantilever bridge is used. The crown will be anchored to one or more teeth on only one side of the gap.
Maryland bridge: This type of bridge is used in the replacement of front tooth gaps and when the two teeth on either side are healthy. A plastic tooth fitted to metal bands is used and bandaged to the back of the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

What Are Dental Bridges Made Of?

Bridges can be made of different materials, but this usually includes porcelain, gold, and metal, depending on the preference of the patient.

What Does The Procedure Involve?

The dentists at our Leicester and Corby clinics will numb the area beforehand with an anaesthetic. Once this is done, they will prepare the teeth by shaving a small portion away to allow for the crown to be fitted and the bridge to be made. Impressions will be made of the teeth before a personal dental crown is made. During your second appointment, your crowns and bridge will be fitted and cemented into place.

All crowns and bridges are selected to suit your smile and face perfectly, with a large range of colours available for you to choose from.

How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?

If you maintain good oral hygiene and health, you can expect your bridge to last between 10 and 15 years.

Dental Crowns

Crowns, or caps, are used when teeth are broken, damaged, or fractured and cannot be treated with composite fillings. Crowns can also be used as a tooth replacement during dental implant treatment and to protect the tooth after root canal work. Crowns not only return the strength of the tooth but also its appearance.

What Are Dental Crowns Made From, And How Are They Fitted?

Dental crowns can be made from a range of materials, from gold to metal alloy, but the majority are a mix of metal with a porcelain shell. Once it has been decided that crowns are your best option, your dentist will clean the tooth, removing any decay while reshaping it with a burr to prepare it for the crown. Once this preparation is complete, an impression of your tooth will be made and sent to a dental lab to create a crown, which will be bespoke and fit your tooth perfectly.

During your first visit, you will be fitted with a temporary crown while your custom crown is being created, usually around 2–3 weeks after your impressions are taken. When you return for your second visit to our Leicester or Corby clinic, the temporary crown will be removed and your tooth prepared using a gentle etching solution to create the ideal surface for bonding. Your new crown will then be securely cemented into place. All stages of the treatment are carried out under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout.

How Long Does a Dental Tooth Crown Last?

If you take good care of your teeth and stick to an excellent oral hygiene regimen, you can expect your crown to last between 10 and 15 years.
