If you have missing teeth, your dentist can close or bridge the gaps in your smile with a dental bridge. This treatment is widely available in Poland and much cheaper than in the UK.

Dental bridges are a popular dental restoration that can improve both the function and appearance of your smile. Dental bridges are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth and can help restore your ability to chew and speak properly. Bridges can also help prevent further dental problems caused by the shifting of your remaining teeth, which can lead to misalignment and other dental issues.

1. What is a dental bridge?

   A bridge is a fixed dental restoration (a fixed dental prosthesis) used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth definitively to adjacent teeth or dental implants. It will literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
   
   

2. What types of bridges are there?

   There are four main types of bridges, traditional (or conventional), cantilever, Maryland & implant-supported.

3. What is a traditional bridge?

   A traditional bridge is the most popular type of dental bridge and can be used when you have natural teeth on both sides of the gap created by your missing tooth. If you have a natural tooth on each side of the gap caused by the missing tooth or teeth, then a cantilever or Maryland bridge may be used.

4. What is an Implant-supported dental bridge?

   Implant-supported bridges use dental implants instead of crowns or frameworks. Typically, one implant is surgically placed for every missing tooth, and these implants hold the bridge in position.

5. Why do I need a dental bridge?

   When you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, a bridge can benefit you in many ways e.g., it can restore your smile, correct your speech, help you to chew properly & maintain the shape of your face.

6. How Long do Dental Bridges Last?

7. How much do dental bridges cost in Poland?

   A traditional bridge in Poland will cost around £320 on average. In the UK, the typical price is around £700.
