Bridges

Cantilever Dental Bridge to eliminate a denture !

Barbara was upset with having to wear a denture for a single front tooth. She also disliked the colour of her teeth. She was not ready to have a dental implant to replace the gap. Raj recommended a traditional cantilever bridge, and some professional tooth whitening. The result ? A glorious smile which has lifter Barbara’s confidence and self esteem.

Cantilever Dental Bridge to improve bite and get rid of a dark tooth !

Tim wanted an extra tooth at the back of his mouth to improve his bite. As it happened one of his existing teeth needed a crown and was unduly dark. We therefore fitted a cantilever bridge going backwards to give him an extra tooth. This cantilever bridge, improved his bite and masked the appearance of the dark tooth !

Resin bonded “Maryland” Bridge to fill a single tooth space !

Richard wanted a simple solution to replace a lower front gap which was very prominent. A traditional approach is to make a “Maryland” type bridge which is made from a very strong nickel-chrome metal that is bonded very cleverly to an adjacent tooth. The result is the appearance of a full set of teeth. Resin bonded bridges are easy to make, and need no preparation or cutting of adjacent teeth. They can last between 5-7 years before debonding when correctly made.

Temporary Bridge on Dental Implants with high density polymer (HDP).

Leslie had a temporary upper bridge made on dental implants which had fallen off and broken. She was not ready to make a complete permanent bridge until she had the confidence that a new bridge could be made to the right contours. She also wanted a longer lasting temporary bridge on her implants. We therefore made her a temporary bridge made out of high density polymer. Leslie is absolutely delighted with her new smile, and now refuses to have the permanent bridge made as she does not wish to part with her temporary bridge (which is lasting a little longer than was planned !). Good for you Leslie !!

Cosmetic Crowns and Bridges

Donna wanted to get rid of a smallupper denture and felt that her front teeth were not symmetrical. She also felt that her current front crowns caused her upper lip to sink in. We carefully planned several new crowns and bridges to achieve symmetry and hold her front lip forwards more naturally. Donna can now smile with confidence.
