- Bridgework
Bridgework has been used for many decades to replace lost teeth or to restore pre-existing gaps. Put simply, Bridgework consists of more than one crown unit joined together. Bridges are fitted over existing teeth and toothless spaces.
Other types of bridge do exist, one example is the Adhesive bridge (usually made of ceramic) which is simply bonded firmly to the adjacent teeth.
Bridges are constructed from similar materials to crowns. They are permanent restorations although in many cases, they have now been superseded by the use of dental implants to replace toothless spaces.

Dental implants are designed to replace one or more teeth. The implants are made of titanium, biocompatible material that is not rejected by the body. The implants hold up the natural bone, stabilising the jaw bone levels and minimise further bone loss. The implants are placed through a quick and minimally invasive procedure.

Your dentist can suggest various treatments to prevent potential problems and to restore damaged teeth. These treatments help restore the appearance, shape and function of your teeth, and can help prevent the build up of plaque acids on the enamel surface of teeth and are of value in the prevention of tooth decay.
