Bridges
At MGM Clinic in Enfield, we understand the importance of a complete and confident smile. Missing teeth can affect not only your appearance but also your ability to speak and eat comfortably. One effective solution for replacing missing teeth is a dental bridge.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two crowns on either side of the gap, which anchor to the natural teeth or dental implants, and a false tooth (or teeth) in the middle, which restores your smile and function. Our team at MGM Clinic uses high-quality materials to craft bridges that look and feel like natural teeth.
Types of Dental Bridges:
-
Traditional Bridges: The most common type, where crowns are placed on adjacent natural teeth, with a pontic (false tooth) in between.
-
Cantilever Bridges: Used when there is only one adjacent tooth to support the bridge.
-
Maryland Bridges: These use a metal or porcelain framework to attach the bridge to the adjacent teeth without the need for crowns.
-
Implant-Supported Bridges: Ideal for patients with multiple missing teeth, where implants act as the anchors for the bridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental bridges typically last between 10 and 15 years, depending on the material used, the care you provide, and your oral hygiene habits. With proper care, your bridge can give you a long-lasting and beautiful smile.
No, getting a dental bridge is a relatively painless procedure. We will ensure your comfort by numbing the area before preparing the teeth for the bridge. Some mild discomfort may occur after the procedure, but this usually subsides quickly.
Caring for your dental bridge is simple. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine check-ups at MGM Clinic, will help keep your bridge in good condition. We may recommend special flossing tools or a soft toothbrush to maintain your bridge and surrounding gums.
