Fixed Bridge in London

A bridge is usually used where there are fewer teeth to replace, or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the mouth. Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base.

The most advanced type of bridge does not require a metal frame to hold the porcelain, therefore the appearance of a full porcelain bridge looks for superior, in terms of translucency natural reflection and the colour of the bridge. (A zirconia and emax porcelain bridge is an example of this)

You should replace missing teeth for a number of reasons. Your appearance is one reason. Another is that the gap left by a missing tooth can mean greater strain is put on the teeth at either side.

A gap can also mean your ‘bite’ is affected, because the teeth next to the space can lean into the gap and alter the way the upper and lower teeth bite together. This can then lead to food getting packed into the gap, which causes both decay and gum disease.
