Dental Bridges in Leicester for replacing missing teeth

Having missing teeth is nothing new nowadays, and millions of people are suffering from there is a treatment available to bridge the gap and make your teeth attractive instead of being a distraction.

This is by putting a dental bridge or a false tooth to replace the missing teeth. This is a process of attaching a bridge to the two other teeth around the gap to make it look like there was no gap in the first place.

Your Leicester dentist performs the dental bridge by putting a local anaesthesia on the teeth on both sides of the missing teeth, and then he/she will trim a small part of the surrounding teeth to accommodate the new crown. To get the correct form for your teeth, your dentist will use a dental putty to get the impression of your teeth and have this sent to the dental laboratory that will make the bridge and crown. While waiting for your crown to be finished, the dentist will fit you with a temporary bridge so you need not be afraid to smile.
 
As soon as the crown is finished, your dentist will remove the temporary bridge and he will assess the new bridge if it fits you, looking into details like if the colour matches and if it affects your bite. If everything is well with the restoration, the dentist will cement the new bridge to the surrounding teeth and you can bid goodbye to your missing teeth for the next 10 years if you take proper care of the new bridge. If you do not opt for bridges, there are other alternatives available like putting up a less stable denture or an invasive dental implant.
