Bridges

What are Bridges?

A bridge is a fixed dental repair used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to nearby teeth.

What are the benefits?

  • Restores the natural appearance of a person's mouth.
  • Restores the person's ability to speak normally.
  • It helps maintain a normal facial structure.
  • Restores the ability to chew food correctly.
  • Prevents detached teeth from moving.

How do I clean a bridge?

How you clean will depend on where the bridge is in the mouth and its design. As well as normal brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing at each end of the bridge, you need to keep the bridge clean underneath.

You might use:

  • Special floss with a stiff end which you can poke underneath a bridge and pull through
  • 'bottle brushes' (your dentist will tell you what size and shape to buy)
  • Water jets- sending a stream underneath the bridge

Why is cleaning important?

Bridges collect bits of food, plaque and tartar, just like natural teeth. By keeping them clean, you help prevent gum disease and stop decay in any natural teeth. The lining of your mouth can become swollen and sore when it is not cleaned efficiently.

You can take a denture out of your mouth so is quite easy to clean. Cleaning all around and underneath the fixed bridge is harder. Your dentist or hygienist will show you how to do it.

If you have missing teeth, talk with your Cedar Dental Care dentist to learn more about bridges and other restorative options. We’ll help find the best solution for your individual needs.

Personalised, welcoming and going the extra mile. Abi Dundas (our family dentist) helped out Gusharan by making a temporary fix to her brace with the help of Amanda. It was truly appreciated!

Friendly receptionist when entering who knew my name. Didn't wait to long until I was asked to go on through to the dentist. Finally I was seen as I have been for over 22 years by Abbey, what a fantastic and friendly lady. A massive asset to the surgery. As long as Abbey is at the practice I will use the surgery.
