Dental Bridges in Gota
A fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth.
What is a dental bridge?
A false tooth held by the teeth beside it.
A bridge fills a gap with an artificial tooth, fixed to crowns on the neighbouring teeth. It stays in place and is not taken out for cleaning.
Is it right for you?
A gap with strong teeth either side.
One or more missing teeth
Side by side, in the same gap.
Healthy neighbouring teeth
Strong enough to carry the bridge.
Healthy gums
Any gum problems are treated first.

Good to know
Your questions, answered.
How do I clean under a bridge?
Brush as usual, and once a day clean under the false tooth with a floss threader or a small interdental brush.
Bridge or implant?
A bridge is quicker and needs no surgery, but it relies on the teeth beside the gap. An implant leaves them untouched. Dr. Patel explains which suits your case.
How long does a bridge last?
Many years, with good cleaning and regular check-ups.
