Questions
Your questions
What is the difference between a bridge and an implant?
A bridge is supported by the neighbouring teeth, while an implant replaces the tooth root without involving them. We discuss both options at the consultation.
What daily care does a bridge need?
With regular brushing, cleaning under the bridge with special floss or interdental brushes, and periodic check-ups.
How many visits does a bridge need?
Usually several visits: preparing the teeth, taking impressions and fitting the final bridge.
Are the supporting teeth affected?
The supporting teeth are prepared to hold the bridge. We explain the pros and alternatives, such as implants, before you decide.
How long does a dental bridge last?
With good care and regular check-ups, a bridge can serve you for many years.
