The gap left by missing teeth can mean more strain is put on those teeth on either side, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Bridges can fill those gaps. With porcelain finishes available, your new tooth from St Andrews Dental Practice, High Street, Biggleswade, UK, will be almost indistinguishable from the natural teeth around it.

A bridge can be attached directly to the natural teeth on either side of the gap or to a dental implant, which replaces the root of the missing tooth and provides a very secure anchor. We have invested in digital scanning for the additional comfort of our patients. Digital scanning allows us to take accurate 3D images in just a few seconds, and means you don’t have to have unpleasant, messy impressions taken.
