A missing tooth can seriously affect an otherwise healthy smile. It can cause structural problems as surrounding teeth slide to fill in the gap. Some people get Dental Implants with a Crown to fill the gap, others get dentures. If you only have one, two or three missing teeth, Dental Bridges are an option for you.

At East Bentleigh Dental Group, we offer the most appropriate treatments such as Dental Bridges with a natural looking finish. Dental Bridges are artificial teeth that take the place of missing teeth. Made with a natural looking, porcelain material that resemble teeth, your Bridge may not be noticeable.

Dental Bridges can not only enhance the aesthetics of your smile by covering gaps, but can also prevent a further deterioration of surrounding teeth by restoring the strength and integrity of your bite.

It is important to remember that if you plan on getting Dental Bridges, the dentist may also require the installation of Dental Crowns to the teeth located on either side of the gap. These serve as an anchor for the Dental Bridge which is then cemented to the dental crowns for stability.

Bridges do not require major dental surgery or long recovery periods, unlike Dental Implants.

We insist that our patients are our number one priority, which is why we make sure that they are as comfortable as possible before, during and after dental treatments.

Patients with Dental Bridges should pay close attention to their dental hygiene. This is because food may get trapped around the Dental Bridge which can cause serious problems to the overall dental health.
