Dental implants for missing teeth

Dental bridges for missing teeth
Dental bridges are made from two crowns attached by either side of the denture – or replacement tooth.
These two crowns are cemented to the natural teeth and act as anchors when bridging the gap between teeth, which can range from temporary to permanent.
Benefits of dental bridging:
- Restores your smile
- Your ability to chew and talk
- Maintain the natural shape of your face
